$12 for a single business card?

I feel like I would be better served by stapling my existing business card to a $10 bill...

It's definitely pricy if you order one at a time, but if you want a run of business cards costs come down to a couple dollars each. Or you can just staple your existing business card to a $1 bill!

I found those prices in the 'how it works' page and nearly closed the tab without a second thought. You might want to give some prices for larger runs, or at the very least say somewhere that volume discounts are available. Now that I know that I wouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars for business cards, I'm more interested.

We totally understand! We still have to finalize pricing with our manufacturer so that's why we've asked people on the homepage to email us with business card / wedding invitation inquiries. It gets almost an order of magnitude cheaper logistics/labor wise to do large runs, we just need to make sure we can do a good enough quality job!

My first thought was "Holy cow, this would make an amazing card!" followed by "Holy cow, that's a lot of money, forget about it!"

Even now, I'm skeptically thinking "'Larger runs' probably means at least a thousand... who has three grand to drop on cards?"

Large runs means about 50-100 or more, so not too much!

It's probably not meant to be for business cards you hand out, but more of a reference of the size.

I hope.

You've expressed a thought, not an emotion.
