Business card printing
The critical (and quite literal) touchpoint of your brand.
A good business card is like a firm handshake in paper form—it leaves a lasting impression. More than just your contact info, it’s your mini billboard, your elevator pitch, and your brand’s first date all rolled into one. A flimsy or boring card? That’s like showing up in socks and sandals—memorable for the wrong reasons. But a sharp, well-designed card? That’s how you say, “Call me, I’m worth it,” without even saying a word!

What’s the best paper stock for business cards?
At YellowDog, we offer a variety of options to fit your brand. Our standard 130# matte, gloss or silk cover stock is durable and professional.

Submit your design as a PDF with at least 300 DPI resolution. Be sure to include a 0.125” bleed to avoid unwanted edges after trimming.
