Frequently asked questions
How much do business cards cost in the UK?
Across the 5 UK printers compared on this page, standard 85 × 55 mm business cards start from £18.89 for an entry run, with premium finishes such as foiling or spot UV typically costing 30–80% more. The live table above always shows today's cheapest option first after our labelled recommendation.
What is the standard business card size in the UK?
The standard UK business card size is 85 × 55 mm. All the printers compared here print this size as standard, and most also offer square, folded and rounded-corner variants.
What paper weight (gsm) should business cards be?
350gsm to 400gsm silk or uncoated stock is the UK norm for a card that feels substantial. Below 300gsm a card feels flimsy; above 450gsm you are into luxury triplex and painted-edge territory.
Single-sided or double-sided business cards — which is better value?
Double-sided printing usually adds only a small percentage to the price, so most businesses print both sides: contact details on the front, services or a QR code on the back. Compare both options in the table — several suppliers charge almost the same for double-sided.
How fast can I get business cards printed?
Typical UK turnaround is 2–5 working days plus delivery. Each offer links straight to the printer's product page where exact dispatch dates are shown before you pay.
Are foiled or spot UV business cards worth it?
For trades that rely on first impressions — design, law, property, weddings — a foiled or spot UV card is remembered and kept longer. Expect to pay more than standard matt or silk cards; the comparison table shows premium-finish offers alongside standard ones so you can judge the gap.
Can I order a small quantity of business cards?
Yes. Most printers compared here start at 50 or 100 cards. Price per card drops sharply at 250 and 500, so if you attend events regularly the larger runs are usually the better buy.
