If you're asking "where do I even get business cards," you're not alone — it's one of the most common first purchases for a new business, and also one of the most confusing if you've never ordered before.
Where to Get Them
You have a few options: local print shops, big-box office stores, online-only print services, or a promotional products company like ours that handles both cards and everything else a new business needs (flyers, apparel, signage) in one place. See our business card pricing and options →
What Business Cards Actually Cost
Standard cards typically start around $0.08 per card at 250+ units. Premium or thicker card stock runs higher, often $0.18+ per card. Specialty finishes — soft-touch, linen texture, spot gloss — cost more but can make a card feel noticeably more polished.
How Many Should You Order?
Most new businesses start with 250-500 cards. If you attend a lot of networking events or trade shows, 1,000 is often worth it since the per-card price drops meaningfully at that quantity.
What You'll Need Before Ordering
- Your business name, phone number, and one way to reach you online (email or website)
- A logo, if you have one (not required — a clean text-only card works fine)
- A general sense of your preferred colors or style, if you're having us design it
Don't Have a Logo Yet?
That's fine — plenty of new businesses order their first cards before finalizing a logo. We can design something simple, or you can order a clean text-only card now and add a logo later. See logo design options →
