What if I don’t have a fold out business card design?

No design? No problem! We have a wealth of templates available for you to use. If you or your designers are using specialist programmes, you’re in luck! We have blank templates ready to go for Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Not using one of these? We also have a PDF template available.

What paper type should I choose for my folded business cards?

The paper stock you choose completely depends on the look and feel you are trying to achieve for your business. Both of the options we have available for our foldable business cards are 350gsm, which is a heavy-duty paper type. Ideal if you’re looking for a long-lasting option to hold your contact information, appointment dates and times or loyalty card stamps.

We have uncoated and silk* options at instantprint, and each offers a premium, luxury feel to them. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed of a quality product.

*We would recommend using the silk option for business cards.

What is the smallest font size I should use on my custom folded business cards?

You will want your existing and potential customers to be able to see your contact information clearly. That’s why we would recommend using a font size no smaller than 7pt. This will ensure that the wording you have printed is legible.
