How quickly can I get business cards?

Standard cards are usually ready within a few business days of proof approval. If you need cards for an event this week, call us; small runs can often be turned around faster.

What should I put on a business card?

Name, what you do, phone, email and website, plus your logo. Keep the back for a tagline, a QR code to your site or a list of services. Less is more: a card with room to breathe looks more professional and is easier to read.

Can you match my cards to my signs and vehicle?

Yes, and that is the point of doing it all in one shop. We keep your logo, colors and fonts on file so your cards, sign, truck lettering and shirts all match.

Do you need a print-ready file?

No. Send what you have: a logo, an old card, even a sketch. Our designers set up the artwork at the right size and resolution and send you a proof.

Business cards printed locally in Pensacola

A business card is still the thing people keep after they meet you, and a thin, blurry card from an online mill says the wrong thing about your business. Gator Grafix prints business cards in-house at 8447 Pensacola Blvd on quality stocks, with real design help, and you pick them up at the counter instead of waiting on a shipment.

Options

Stocks — standard 14 pt and 16 pt cards, extra-thick stocks for a premium feel, and uncoated stock you can write on.
Finishes — gloss, matte or soft-touch coating; spot gloss and foil accents on request.
Shapes — standard 3.5 x 2 inches, rounded corners, square cards and die-cut shapes.
Specialty cards — appointment cards, loyalty punch cards, magnetic business cards and plastic cards.
Quantities — from a short run for a new hire to thousands for a sales team. Reorders are quick because we keep your file.

Design that matches everything else

Most of our business card customers also have a sign, a lettered truck or printed shirts from us, and the card is where it all comes together. Our designers build the card from the same logo and colors, so the person who saw your truck on Nine Mile Road recognizes the card you hand them. If you do not have a logo yet, we can create one and use it everywhere, starting with the card.

Getting it right the first time

Before anything prints you get a proof to check spelling, phone numbers and the email address. We set up the file with proper bleed and safe margins so nothing important ends up at the trimmed edge, and we print a sample on the actual stock on request, because colors on a screen and colors on card stock are never quite the same.

Picking the right card for the job

Trades and field work — thick gloss or soft-touch stock that survives a truck console and a back pocket; big phone number, short service list on the back.
Professional services — heavier uncoated or matte stock with clean typography; room on the back for notes or an appointment line.
Restaurants and retail — a card that doubles as a loyalty punch card or a coupon, so it earns a second visit.
Real estate — photo card on gloss stock, or a magnetic card that stays on the fridge for years.
Anyone with a website — a QR code on the back that opens your site, your Google reviews or your booking page.

Sizes and specs

Standard cards are 3.5 x 2 inches. Artwork should extend 0.125 inches past the trim on every side (the bleed) and keep text 0.125 inches inside it (the safe zone). Send files as PDF, AI, EPS or a 300 dpi image; if you only have a low-resolution logo, we can usually redraw it. Our designers set all of this up for you, so none of it has to be your problem.

More than cards

While you are here: flyers, postcards, rack cards, door hangers, brochures, menus, stickers and labels all come off the same presses. See the full list on our printing page, and if you need something bigger, our banners and posters are printed in the same shop.
