Inexpensive Business Cards That Look Anything But Cheap

Why Affordable Doesn’t Mean Basic

Many people assume “inexpensive” means low quality — but in printing, smart design and modern technology make it possible to produce affordable cards that still impress.

Our advanced print systems allow us to offer professional business cards at competitive prices, using durable cardstock, vibrant inks, and refined finishes. You get premium quality without premium pricing.

By choosing local business card design and printing through Express Print Studio, you avoid online print delays, shipping costs, and inconsistent colours — all while supporting a trusted Peterborough print team.

Smart Ways to Design Cost-Effective Business Cards

Here’s how to keep your business cards affordable and impressive:

• Choose the right material: 350gsm silk or uncoated card offers great quality at a lower cost than luxury textures.
• Print in standard sizes: Avoid custom die-cuts and shapes unless necessary.
• Simplify your design: Minimalist layouts not only save ink but also look modern and professional.
• Order in bulk: Printing larger quantities reduces per-card cost dramatically.
• Use double-sided wisely: Print essential contact details on both sides without unnecessary graphics.

Our in-house design team can help refine your artwork for print efficiency — so you never pay for what you don’t need.

Why Business Cards Still Matter

You might think digital networking has made business cards obsolete — but the opposite is true. In an age of short attention spans, a well-crafted card stands out.

It communicates confidence, professionalism, and authenticity. People keep cards that feel good, look sharp, and tell a story about the person behind them.

We explored this more deeply in our related article, Why Business Cards Still Matter in a Digital World — where we discuss how print connects people in ways that pixels can’t.
