Choosing business cards isn't just about picking the thickest card or the cheapest option. It depends on how you'll use them. If you're handing out cards every day, a laminated finish usually stays looking smarter for much longer. If you're producing cards for a one-off event or promotion, a quality non-laminated card can be excellent value. Many customers also assume they need 1,000 cards, but that's not always the best choice. If your phone number, email address or branding might change, ordering a smaller quantity first can often save money in the long run.
If you're unsure, we'll happily recommend the most suitable option rather than simply the most expensive one. Whether you're launching a new business, attending exhibitions or updating your branding, we can design and print business cards that leave a lasting impression.

The honest answer from forty years of printing: thicker isn't automatically better. A 350gsm card does a perfectly professional job for most trades, and there's no point paying for weight your customers won't notice. Where the heavier stocks earn their money is in the hand, a 400gsm soft touch laminated card feels different the moment someone takes it, which matters when your work is sold on quality and finish.
Matt reads as understated and professional; gloss makes colour and photographs punch. Mostly text and a logo? Matt usually wins. Built around a strong image? Consider gloss.
They offer a smooth, tactile silk coating that reduces glare and enhances colour depth, making them the most versatile choice for everything from corporate branding to creative mini flyers, for plumbers to legal eagles.
They look sharp and don't dog-ear in a wallet, but they add cost, which is why you rarely see them. Right for some businesses, unnecessary for most.
If you hand out a few a week, 250 lasts about a year, sensible if your details might change. If you're networking or leaving cards on counters, 500 or 1,000 brings the per-card cost right down. Not sure? Bring in your old card or your logo and we'll tell you which option suits it, including when the cheaper one is the right answer.

Yes, in-house. We take your details, produce a concept, revise it with you, and you approve a digital proof before anything is printed. Nothing goes to print without your sign-off. Already have print-ready artwork? We'll check it and print from it. One thing we've learnt over many years is that simple business cards are often the most effective.
Trying to include too much information can make a card difficult to read. Clear contact details, a strong logo and enough white space usually leave a far better impression than filling every available corner. It's something we discuss with customers during the design stage before anything goes to print.
Typically 3–5* working days from proof approval. •Subject to type of cards ordered. So ring 01626 333052 first and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable for your date.
Online printing is fine until something goes wrong — a colour that's off on screen, a typo nobody caught, a stock that feels thinner than the photo suggested. Order here and a person checks your artwork before it prints, and if anything's not right you talk to the printer, not a ticket queue. We've been printing for Newton Abbot businesses for over forty years, and we serve Teignmouth, Torquay, Totnes and the surrounding towns.
