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.
