Buying Guide

Card stock thickness

Thicker stock communicates durability and premium feel—look for sturdy, thick-stock options when you want a tactile impression

Print customization options

Check for full-color printing, custom templates, and precise color matching to ensure logos and brand colors reproduce accurately

Size and format

Standard 3.5 x 2 inch cards fit wallets and holders; consider alternative sizes only if your brand strategy requires a standout format

Made-in location and supply chain

US-made manufacturing can reduce transit time and simplify compliance—factor origin if domestic production matters to your startup
