Our Digital Fast Business Cards are designed to meet such needs with speed and efficiency. With our service, you can order as few as 100 cards without facing steep price jumps typical in offset printing.

Price Table
| Quantity | Description | Print Cost | Cost Per Card | Total Cost with Shipping |

Understanding Imposition and Cutting
Our business cards are imposed 24-up on an 11×17 sheet, meaning we print 24 cards per sheet. This efficient imposition method reduces waste and cost. Cutting is always included in the price, ensuring you receive perfectly finished cards without additional charges. This method allows us to maintain high quality while keeping costs low, ensuring every card meets professional standards.

Digital Fast vs. Express Offset
Our Digital Fast production is ideal for rapid delivery, typically ready in 1-2 business days. However, if you have a bit more time and need larger quantities, our Express Offset can be a cost-effective option. Keep in mind, production time does not include transit, so plan accordingly based on your shipping location. Choosing between these options depends on your timeline and volume requirements.

Pro Tip: If you frequently need business cards on tight schedules, consider ordering slightly more to keep on hand. This practice can save time and stress for future hires or last-minute needs. Additionally, having a stockpile means you’re never caught off guard and can quickly adapt to staffing changes or unexpected events.

Frequently Asked Questions about Digital Fast Business Cards
Can I order 75 business cards digitally?
Yes, you can order 75 business cards digitally. However, our pricing model is optimized for standard quantities like 100 cards. While you can request a custom order, the cost per card may be higher due to setup and production constraints. For instance, 100 cards cost about $17.55 with shipping, offering a more economical choice. Custom orders may require additional processing time, so please inquire for specific pricing.
Why is cutting always included in the card price?
Cutting is an essential part of the production process, ensuring each card is precisely trimmed to the desired size. This service is integrated into the card price to streamline production and maintain quality. For example, 100 cards require five sheets of 11×17 paper, and cutting is necessary to separate them into individual cards. Including this service in the price ensures no unexpected fees during checkout.
How does ordering 100 vs 500 cards affect the per-card cost?
Ordering 500 cards significantly reduces the per-card cost compared to 100 cards. For instance, 100 cards have a production cost of $1.99, translating to about $0.020 per card, while 500 cards cost $8.36, or approximately $0.017 per card. The larger order benefits from economies of scale, making it a more cost-effective option for bulk needs. Ground shipping for 500 cards is roughly $23.92, enhancing overall value.
Is full bleed required on digital cards?
Full bleed is not mandatory for digital business cards, but it is recommended if your design includes edge-to-edge colors or images. This technique ensures that the design extends to the card’s edges, eliminating any white borders after cutting. If opting for full bleed, remember that the design file needs proper setup to accommodate this. There is no additional fee for full bleed, making it a feature to enhance your card’s appearance.
How do variable data card decks get quoted?
Variable data printing (VDP) allows each card in the deck to be unique, ideal for personalization. Quoting VDP requires a custom approach, as it involves additional setup and data management. This service isn’t directly available through our standard form and needs a specific request. Pricing depends on the complexity of data and design, with additional fees applicable for the customization effort. Contact us directly for a tailored quote.
What is the difference between Digital Fast cards and Express offset cards?
Digital Fast cards are produced using digital printing technology, offering quick turnaround and flexibility for smaller orders. They are ideal for urgent needs with a 1-2 business day production time. In contrast, Express offset cards use traditional offset printing, best for larger runs that require high color accuracy and consistency. Offset printing might have longer lead times but often offers cost benefits on large volumes. Choose based on your quantity and quality needs.
Which card sizes are available for Digital Fast cards?
Our Digital Fast cards are available in standard sizes, including the popular 3.5×2 inches, which fits most wallets and cardholders. This size is perfect for conveying essential contact information in a compact format. Custom sizes can be requested, especially for large orders where we can accommodate specific needs. However, standard sizes benefit from optimized production and cost-efficiency, ensuring rapid delivery and quality consistency.
Where are Digital Fast cards produced?
Digital Fast cards are produced in our Rhode Island facility, which is equipped with advanced digital presses for high-quality output. This location enables us to offer express production times of 1-2 business days for local and regional customers. Being centrally located in Rhode Island also helps us optimize shipping times and costs, ensuring your cards reach you promptly. Check your specific ZIP code for shipping details.
