About This Product

Most business cards are rectangles, and they all end up in the same pile on the counter. A card cut into a circle, a leaf, or a shape tied to your trade gets picked up, looked at, and kept. That gives a homeowner one more reason to call you first.

We shape the card around your brand but keep the basics easy to find: your name, your trade, and a phone number big enough to dial. Hand them out at estimates and leave one on the counter after the job.

Often ordered with: Blank Letterheads, Business Card Magnets, and Business Cards.

Common Questions

How much do custom shaped business cards cost?
Shaped business cards are starting at $49, and every order includes design and a proof before anything prints. Your final price depends on the shape, paper, finish, and quantity. The minimum order is 100 cards. Send us your shape idea and quantity in the form below and we'll send a proof.

Are die-cut business cards worth it for a contractor?
Yes, if you want to be the name a homeowner remembers. A die-cut card looks different from every rectangle in the pile, so it is more likely to be kept. For a card you hand out at estimates, standing out from the other bids is the whole point.

What shapes can I get for die-cut business cards?
You can choose a circle from 1.5 to 6 inches across, an oval, a rounded square, a half-circle, or a leaf. Pick a shape that fits your trade or logo and still leaves room for a phone number that is easy to read. Circle and rounded cuts read the cleanest.

Do shaped business cards fit in a wallet?
Most do. Shapes around 2 x 3.5 inches tuck into a wallet or card slot just like a regular card. Larger circles and 4 x 6 inch shapes make a bigger statement on a counter or fridge, but they will not fit in a billfold, so choose based on where you want the card to live.

What paper and finish should I choose for shaped cards?
Heavy stock works best for shaped cards because it holds the cut edge. Options run from 14pt gloss or uncoated to 16pt matte, 13pt linen, and 18pt pearl, kraft, or smooth white. Pick gloss for bright color, matte or velvet for a soft feel, or uncoated if you want to write on it.

What should go on a shaped business card?
Keep it simple: your name, your trade, and a phone number big enough to dial without squinting. Add your logo and website if there is room. A shaped card has less flat space than a rectangle, so cut extra lines and let the shape and your number do the work.

How long does it take to print die-cut business cards?
Shaped cards print in 3 to 7 business days after you approve the proof. The exact time depends on your quantity and finish. Tell us your deadline when you order and we will plan the proof and print dates around it.

Ordering print in East Tennessee

Do you ship print orders across East Tennessee?

Yes. Everything we print ships — to Knoxville, Maryville, Alcoa, or wherever your crew is working. Shipping time is on top of the print turnaround, and we confirm the total before you approve the proof.

How fast can I get signs or cards for a job starting this week?

Most orders proof within one business day and print in three to seven business days, plus shipping. Rush is available on yard signs, business cards and door hangers — put your date in the form below and we will tell you what is actually possible.

Will yard signs and banners hold up outdoors in East Tennessee?

We spec UV inks and heavier stock on anything that lives outdoors through hot summers and freezing winters. Tell us the sign is going in full sun or staying up through the season and we will recommend the material that lasts instead of the cheapest one.

Do I need artwork before I can order?

No. Design is included. Send a logo, a photo of your truck, or nothing at all, and our design team builds the artwork and sends you a proof before anything prints.
