Business cards still do a job that nothing else does: they put your name and number in someone's hand at the moment they are interested. Realtors, contractors, stylists, consultants, and small shops around Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington keep a stack ready for networking events, job sites and the front counter.
Options and sizes
Our business cards are printed on 16pt stock, a thick, firm card that feels solid when it is handed over. The surface has a gloss AQ coating, a clear water-based coat that protects the print and gives the colours some shine.
- Size: standard 3.5 x 2 inches
- Sides: one sided or two sided
- Corners: square, or rounded corners as an option
- Quantity: ask us and we will quote the amount you need

Tips for great results
Include only what people need: your name, role, business name, phone, email, website and a short line about what you do. Add your address if customers visit you. A cluttered card is harder to remember than a clean one.
Make text easy to read. Aim for a body size no smaller than about 8 points, and give the phone number room. Use the back for a logo, a map, a service list or a quick offer. If you print only one side, a white or light back leaves room to write a note. Remember that a gloss coating is slick, so a pen may not write on it well.
Set your file up at 3.5 x 2 inches plus bleed, in CMYK, at 300 dpi or higher. Keep text and logos about an eighth of an inch inside the trim. Our file setup guide and the article on bleed, CMYK and resolution explain each term. For more design ideas, read business card printing in Oakville. Want a matching sticker for your branding?
