Business card printing decisions for a New York project
In the United States, a common finished business-card size is 3.5 × 2 inches. Before comparing New York print quotes, confirm whether the design includes a bleed and safety margin, whether the stock is coated or uncoated, and whether quantities refer to one design or several names. A premium texture, foil, raised finish or painted edge can change manufacturing steps and lead time.
Ask whether the proposal includes design, prepress proof, printing, trimming, packaging, sales tax and pickup or delivery. For urgent requirements, confirm a realistic proof cutoff and a supplier’s specific turnaround commitment. Ask Lamasatna can help prepare a print-ready brief and a market estimate, but it is not claiming an in-house New York production location.
Before asking a New York printer for a quote
- Finished size and bleed, normally expressed in inches
- Number of card designs and quantity for each
- Card stock, coating, special effects and corner shape
- Print-ready file format and colour specifications
- Proof approval, turnaround, pickup or delivery
The standard size is a common convention, not a requirement. Supplier availability and final pricing must be verified locally.
