Business cards in Mississauga
Business cards are the job we run most often, and in Mississauga the split is easy to predict. Offices around City Centre and the Sheridan corporate blocks order 16pt coated in runs of 500 to 1,000, usually twice a year, usually because somebody joined. Independent operators — realtors, brokers, contractors working out of Cooksville and Applewood — order smaller and care much more about how the card feels, because they hand it over in person and want it kept.
That is where the stock matters. 16pt coated two sides is the standard and it is fine. 18pt uncoated is what you want if you write on the back, which realtors and trades do constantly. 32pt with a painted edge is the one people notice without being able to say why — it is thick enough to feel deliberate, and the colour on the edge is visible from across a table. Soft-touch lamination with spot UV over the logo is the other combination that gets remarked on: the card feels like suede and the mark sits proud of it.
We print here rather than brokering it out, which mostly matters when something is wrong. A broker sends your file back into a queue in another city and you wait again. We reprint it in the building, usually the same day. If your artwork is print-ready and approved before 11am, 16pt cards can be done that day for pickup from Skymark Ave.
One practical note on artwork: keep anything you care about at least an eighth of an inch inside the trim, and give us a bleed of the same on every edge. Cards are cut in stacks and the blade drifts fractionally through the lift, so a border set tight to the edge comes back thicker on one side than the other and there is nothing anyone can do about it afterwards.
How it worksQUOTE → ARTWORK → PROOF → PRODUCTION
01
Quote
Tell us what you need — a photo of the old sign is enough to start. You get a written quote back within 24 hours on weekdays, with the specs written out so you can compare it to anyone else's.
02
Artwork
Send print-ready files and we use them as they are. Send a logo and a rough idea and we set it here, with the setup quoted up front rather than added at the end.
03
Proof approval
Nothing goes to production until you approve a proof in writing. On print that is a PDF at size; on apparel it is a mockup on the actual garment colour. Turnaround starts from this step, not from the deposit.
04
Production and delivery
We produce it here and deliver across the GTA, or hold it for pickup in Mississauga if that is faster. Your artwork stays on file, so the reorder skips straight to production.
FAQASKED IN THIS CITY
Business cards in Mississauga, answered
How long do business cards take in Mississauga?
Three to five business days from proof approval as standard. If your file is print-ready and approved before 11am we can run 16pt cards the same day. Foil, painted edges and die-cut shapes need the full week.
Can I pick up business cards in Mississauga the same day?
Yes, on stocked 16pt cards with artwork approved before 11am. Pickup is from 2800 Skymark Ave. Anything with foil, a painted edge or a die-cut shape has to run overnight at minimum.
What is the minimum order for business cards?
250. Below that the setup dominates the cost and you are better off ordering 250 and keeping the rest. Most Mississauga offices order 500 or 1,000 because the per-card cost drops sharply.
