    Painted Edge Card FAQs

    Common questions about our painted edge business card printing services.

    Painted edge printing is a luxury finishing technique where the edges of ultra-thick business cards (32pt or 48pt) are hand-painted with color. The thick card stock creates a visible edge surface that's painted with your chosen color — gold, silver, black, or any custom PMS color — adding a striking visual dimension that standard cards can't achieve.
    We offer 32pt and 48pt card stock for painted edge cards. 32pt is our most popular option — it's 3x thicker than standard 14pt cards and provides a substantial edge surface for painting. 48pt is our ultra-premium option at 4x standard thickness, creating an even more dramatic painted edge effect.
    Yes — we can match any Pantone (PMS) color for your card edges. Provide your PMS color code and we'll hand-paint your edges to match your brand guidelines exactly. We also offer metallic, neon, and custom color options beyond the standard PMS library.
    Painted edge business cards typically require 5–7 business days for production. The hand-painting process requires additional time compared to standard cards. Rush production (3–4 business days) is available for an additional fee.
    Painted edges pair beautifully with soft touch matte lamination (our most popular combination), gloss UV coating, spot UV on logos or text, foil stamping (gold, silver, or custom colors), embossing, and letterpress. Each finish adds another layer of luxury.
    Our minimum order for painted edge business cards is 100 cards. We offer quantity pricing breaks at 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,500+ cards. The hand-painting process requires a minimum run to ensure consistent color quality across all cards.
    Yes — all painted edge business cards include full-color printing on both sides. The painted edge is applied to the card's thickness (the edge visible when holding the card), not the front or back printing surfaces.
    Yes — we offer sample kits that include various card stocks, edge colors, and finish combinations so you can see and feel the quality before committing to a full order. Contact us to request a painted edge sample kit.
    Yes — our design team specializes in creating layouts optimized for painted edge cards. We understand how edge colors interact with front/back designs, foil placement, and finish combinations. Every order includes a free design review before printing.
    Store painted edge cards in a rigid card case or box to protect the edges from scuffing. Avoid rubber bands or loose storage in bags — the painted edges can mark if rubbed against rough surfaces. We ship all orders in protective packaging to ensure your cards arrive in perfect condition.
