Starter Business Cards

What artwork files do you accept?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best for the sharpest results. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work well, provided they're clear and at least 300 DPI at the final print size.

What is vector artwork?
Vector files are created using paths rather than pixels, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. This gives you sharper prints and cleaner results compared to raster images like JPG or PNG.

Can you fix or set up my artwork?
We offer a "Make My File Print Ready" service that includes resizing, adding bleed, and preparing your file for production — with no changes to your actual artwork. If your design needs modifications or corrections, please contact us for a custom quote.

Will I see a proof before printing?
When placing your order, you'll select whether you have print-ready files, need file setup assistance, or need a new file created. Based on your selection, you'll see how many design proofs are included. If you have print-ready artwork and request a proof, we'll send you a digital proof for approval. We won't make adjustments to your artwork unless you've selected one of our file setup options. If your file isn't set up correctly, we'll notify you before proceeding.

What is a proof?
A proof is a digital preview of exactly how your business cards will look when printed. It shows the final design, colours, and sizing, allowing you to review and approve everything before production begins.

When will I receive my proof?
Your proof will be emailed within 24–48 hours of placing your order. Please check your junk mail folder in case it's filtered there. If you haven't received it within this timeframe, contact us directly. No work will move into production until the proof is approved via return email.

What if my logo or image isn't high enough quality?
We'll assess your file and let you know if the quality is suitable for printing. If your artwork is too low resolution, we'll advise you and may be able to help recreate or source a better quality version for a small fee.

What are Starter Business Cards made from?
Starter Business Cards are printed on premium 310gsm uncoated artboard. The uncoated surface gives the cards a natural, tactile feel and means they can be written on with pen or used with a rubber stamp — perfect for adding a personal message or custom detail after printing.

What size are the cards?
Business cards are the standard 90 x 55mm size.

Are both sides printed?
Yes — Starter Business Cards are printed in full colour on both sides.

Is there a coating or laminate on these cards?
No — Starter Business Cards are printed on uncoated artboard with no celloglaze or laminate finish. This is what gives them their natural feel and makes them writable and stampable. If you'd prefer a gloss or matte coated finish, see our Premium Gloss or Premium Matte Business Cards.

Can I write on Starter Business Cards?
Yes — the uncoated surface is compatible with pen and rubber stamps, making these a great choice for personalising cards by hand or adding a custom stamp after printing.

Are these cards durable?
Yes — 310gsm artboard provides good substance and durability for everyday use. For a heavier, more premium feel with added surface protection, our 420gsm Premium Gloss or Matte cards may be a better fit.

How long does it take to produce Starter Business Cards?
Business cards are shipped within 7 business days from artwork upload or approval.

Can you rush my order if it's urgent?
Yes! Please contact us directly to discuss your timeline and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Who do you use for shipping?
We use Australia Post for all our deliveries, ensuring reliable and trackable shipping across Australia.

How long will delivery take once my order ships?

Do you offer express shipping?
Yes, express shipping options are available through Australia Post. If you need your cards urgently, contact us directly and we can arrange both expedited production and express shipping to meet your deadline.

If I order multiple different products will my entire order arrive together?
