Why Business Cards Still Matter for Fort Wayne Professionals
In a world of QR codes and LinkedIn requests, the physical business card still does something digital can't.
You hand someone your card. They look at it. They feel the weight of the paper. They notice the finish, the type, the color of your logo against the stock. Three seconds later you've made a quiet, specific impression about how seriously you take your work.
That's why Fort Wayne professionals still order business cards from us. Real estate agents need cards in the listing folder. Contractors leave cards on the kitchen counter at the end of a job. Restaurant owners hand them to vendors. Lawyers and consultants bring them to every networking event downtown.
The card is small. The decisions behind it — stock, finish, ink, type — are what make it work. We've been printing those decisions for Fort Wayne businesses since 1965. Learn more about us →
What We Offer: Business Card Options
Standard sizes are 3.5″ × 2″ — the same dimension that fits every wallet, card holder, and Rolodex on earth. Everything else is up to you.
Paper Stocks
Our standard is 16pt premium card stock: thick enough to feel substantial, light enough not to bend in your wallet. We also offer 12pt and 14pt for budget-conscious runs, plus 80, 100, and 120 lb covers for a more traditional letterpress feel.
For a real wow moment, step up to 38pt luxury board — the kind of card that lands on a desk with a satisfying “thunk.”
Finishes
Matte — soft, modern, easy to write on (great for medical and consulting cards). Gloss — sharper colors, classic look, more durable. Soft-touch — the velvet feel that makes everyone do a double-take.
Add spot UV for a glossy accent on a logo or name, or go with full uncoated for a printerly, raw look.
Premium Add-Ons
Foil stamping in gold, silver, copper, or holographic for the wow factor. Embossing & debossing for tactile dimension. Rounded corners for a softer, more modern silhouette. Edge painting for a band of color along the card's edge.
These add cost, but they signal “this person paid attention” in a way that no amount of typography can.
Design Services
Our in-house graphic designers build cards from scratch. We don't run you through a template generator — we look at your brand, your logo, your existing materials, and design something coherent.
Pair your business cards with matching letterhead, envelopes, and yard signs for a fully unified brand presence.
A business card is the smallest piece of marketing you'll ever print — and the one that gets handed to people on purpose.

Industries We Serve
Different industries get different things from a business card. Here's how we tune the design for the most common ones.
High-volume orders, photo on the front, brokerage logo on the back, matching the colors on your yard signs and listing flyers.
Heavy stock, license number on the back, phone-number-first layout. Pair with vehicle wraps for a coordinated mobile presence.
Often double-sided with menu highlights or hours. Soft-touch finishes feel premium in the hand — matters more than you'd think.
Matte stock so patients can write appointment times on the back. Clean type. License/credential numbers prominent.
Conservative typography, premium stock, often with foil or embossing. Pair with letterhead and envelopes for a coherent firm identity.
Tighter budgets, but the card still has to feel professional. We often suggest 14pt with a matte finish — cost-effective without looking it.
