Standard Business Cards Printed on 16pt C2S Cardstock
TheFlyerLab prints standard business cards on 16pt C2S (coated two sides) cardstock — a thick, rigid stock that feels substantial in the hand and holds up well in wallets, card holders, and desk trays. Full-color printing on the front, back, or both sides. Choose your finish, select your turnaround, and your cards ship via UPS or FedEx directly to your door.
Available in five sizes with optional rounded corners, starting at just 100 cards.
Business Card Sizes
All sizes are printed on 16pt C2S cardstock with your choice of finish. The standard 3.5X2 is the most widely used size — it fits every standard card holder, wallet slot, and Rolodex. Non-standard sizes can help your card stand out when a unique format fits your brand.
| Size | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 3.5X2 | Standard | Universal fit — works in every wallet, card holder, and business card exchange |
| 3.5X1.75 | Slim | A sleeker profile — stands out while still fitting most card slots |
| 3.5X1.5 | Mini | Compact and unique — great for minimalist designs or loyalty cards |
| 3X2 | Compact | Slightly smaller footprint — useful for tight designs or premium feel |
| 2.5X2.5 | Square | Bold and memorable — makes an immediate visual statement |
Finish Options
The finish you choose affects how your card looks, feels, and photographs. All three are available on 16pt C2S cardstock in both 4/4 (front and back) and 4/0 (front only) configurations.

Standard Business Cards — Frequently Asked Questions
What stock are TheFlyerLab standard business cards printed on?
Standard business cards are printed on 16pt C2S (coated two sides) cardstock — a thick, rigid heavyweight stock with a smooth coated surface on both sides. It's noticeably heavier than typical office-printed cards and holds up well in wallets and card holders.
What sizes are available for standard business cards?
Five sizes are available: 3.5X2 (standard), 3.5X1.75 (slim), 3.5X1.5 (mini), 3X2 (compact), and 2.5X2.5 (square). All are printed on the same 16pt C2S cardstock with your choice of finish.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes — you can choose 4/4 (full color front and back) or 4/0 (front only). Both options are available at the same price.
Are rounded corners available?
Yes. You can add a 1/8" or 1/4" corner radius to any standard business card order. Rounded corners are selected during the ordering process.
How long does printing take?
You choose your turnaround at checkout — either 1–2 business days or 2–4 business days. Orders submitted before 9 PM qualify for the next business day as your first production day. Shipping via UPS or FedEx typically adds 1–5 business days depending on your location.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order is 100 cards. Quantities available include 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000.
What file format should I submit?
Print-ready PDF is preferred. Set up your file at the correct size plus 0.125" bleed on all sides, 300 DPI, and CMYK color mode. Visit the file setup and artwork guidelines page for full specs and templates.
What's the difference between UV Gloss, Matte, and UV Front Only?
UV Gloss gives a high-shine finish that makes colors pop — the most popular choice for business cards. Matte has a flat, uncoated look that photographs well and feels premium in hand — popular for minimalist and luxury brands. UV Front Only gives you a gloss front with an uncoated back, which is useful when the back needs to be writable.
