Business Cards
Create beautiful business cards your customers will actually want to hang onto. In the digital age, business cards remain an important business development tool. They communicate who you are, define your brand, and leave your client with a tactile reminder of your business. Work with our team through every step, from custom design to printing and delivery. Elevate your brand and leave a lasting impression with business cards printed by Burke.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between coated and uncoated business cards?
Coated papers allow for enhanced printing properties, such as brightness and smoothness. The coating also restricts ink absorption, resulting in sharper and clearer images, and makes the paper more resistant to wear and moisture.
Uncoated paper is generally more porous, making it highly absorbent and ideal for printing novels, books, or artwork that requires a softer and less crisp image.
2. How long does it take to get my business cards?
For re-orders, we can have your new business cards delivered in 3-4 business days. For new cards, the timeline would depend on design and your approval of the cards. Once we print your business cards, you can expect a 2-3 day delivery.
3. How many business cards can I order at once?
While we often produce orders of 250, 500 or 1000, you can order as many or as little cards as you would like. Contact us today and we will assist you in placing your custom order!
4. Can you design my business cards?
5. Do I see a proof before you print?
Absolutely! Before we print anything at Burke, we will send you a proof for your approval.
