What size is a standard business card?

3.5 by 2 inches finished. The artwork is built on a 3.625 by 2.125 inch canvas so the background bleeds past the cut and there is no white sliver wherever the blade lands, and your text stays inside a safe area well clear of it. Bleed, trim and safe area explains the three boxes.

What paper can I print on?

14pt and 16pt cardstock, 100lb cover, linen, suede, pearl and natural uncoated, waterproof synthetic, 17pt magnet, and clear, frosted or white plastic. Coatings run from UV high gloss through matte and silk to uncoated. Paper stocks and coatings covers what each one does to your colours.

Can I print on both sides?

Yes. The back can carry its own design, or mirror the front. A mirror stays in step on purpose — fix a typo on the front and the back is fixed too, instead of quietly printing the old one.

Do you print rounded corners?

Yes, as a die cut. Square corners are the product default, and every preview shows the corners your order actually has rather than the ones the design was drawn with.

Can I upload a design someone else made?

PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC, PDF and layered Photoshop files all work, and a two-page PDF is read as the front and the back because that is how designers export them. EPS is not accepted — export a PDF instead. Whatever you send is checked and re-encoded at upload, and you see a report of what we made of it before anything is created.

How long does it take?

Standard orders arrive in a few business days. A rush 1-2 day turnaround is available at checkout, and shipping is quoted live for your address rather than guessed.

Can I reorder the same card later?

Yes, and reordering forks a copy of the design first. That is deliberate: your past orders keep showing the artwork they were actually printed from, so changing a phone number on the new copy cannot rewrite your own history.
