Business Cards in LaPlace, LA
A Hundred Cards, Printed Here
You do not need a minimum order of a thousand and a two-week wait. A hundred cards covers most of a year for most people around here, and we print them in the shop.
Printed Here, Not Sent Out
We print the cards in the shop, on card stock we keep on hand. That is why a hundred is a normal order here instead of a minimum of a thousand: nothing gets sent to a plant and nothing waits on a delivery truck.
What It Costs
- $40 for 100 cards, single-sided
- $60 for 100 cards, double-sided
- Add $30 if you want us to design the card
More Than a Hundred?
Bigger runs are priced at the counter. Tell us how many you want and whether the back of the card is printed, and we work out the price before you commit to anything.
What to Bring
- Your artwork if you have it. A PDF works best, email it to alliedexpresslaplace@gmail.com
- Or just the details you want on it: name, title, phone, email, logo. We lay it out for the $30 design fee and show you a proof before anything gets printed
What Makes a File Ready to Print
A PDF with everything already on it: name, title, phone, email and logo, laid out the way you want the card to look. Word and PowerPoint files can shift when they open on a different machine, so the safest thing you can send is a PDF. Photos and logos pulled off a website are usually too small to print sharply, so send the original file if you have it. Whatever you send, you see a proof before anything goes on paper.
How Long It Takes
Ask us when you order and we will give you a date. It depends on whether the artwork is ready to print or still has to be laid out.
Do I Need an Appointment?
No. Walk in during store hours, Monday through Friday from 9 to 6 and Saturday from 9 to 1.
While You Are Here
Cards usually come with something else that needs printing. Flyers, price lists and forms run 25 cents a sheet in black and white, 30 cents on legal and 69 cents in color. See copying and printing.
Business Card Questions
Can I Order Only 100 Business Cards?
Yes, 100 is our standard run. $40 for 100 single-sided and $60 for 100 double-sided.
Do You Design the Card, or Do I Have to Bring Artwork?
Either works. Bring a print-ready PDF, or give us the name, title, phone, email and logo and we lay it out for $30. You see a proof before anything gets printed.
What File Should I Send for Business Cards?
A PDF, emailed to alliedexpresslaplace@gmail.com. Other formats can shift when they are opened on a different machine.
How Long Do Business Cards Take?
Ask when you order and we give you a date. An order with print-ready artwork takes less time than one we still have to lay out.
