The Custom Business Card Order Process
1. Design
The process begins with the design. You can either provide your own design or work with our team for a custom creation. If you opt for a design consultation, you can schedule a consultation here. Timing for the design phase depends on complexity and revisions, typically taking about 2-5 business days.
2. Printing
Once the design is finalized and the PDF proof is approved, printing begins. Depending on the method—digital printing (7-10 days), letterpress, foil stamping, or thermography (10 business days)—printing times may vary. Additional printing methods such as embossing or offset printing may extend this time.
3. Finishing
Custom finishes like edge coloring, die-cutting, or rounded corners may add a few extra days to the timeline. These specialized touches ensure a unique look for your business cards but may require more precision and time.
4. Shipping
After the cards are printed and finished, they are carefully packed and shipped to your location. Shipping times depend on your location and selected method, but our team will ensure safe and prompt delivery.
All orders ship via UPS Ground from our NY studio so you can receive your order as quickly as 1 business day if you live in New York, New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania / Connecticut / Massachusetts.
We can ship UPS 2Day and Next Day Air if you need the order quickly. If you’re on Long Island pickup is also available, we’d love to have you visit the studio.
