The Luxor Standard
Where are Luxor cards printed?
Every card is printed and finished in the United States. Nothing is outsourced to offshore plants, which keeps quality control tight and shipping times short.
Are your designers real humans?
Yes. A professional designer in New York prepares and checks every proof personally. We do not use AI to lay out your card, although we happily print designs you created with AI tools after our designer makes them print-ready.
What is your guarantee?
If your cards arrive with a manufacturing defect or do not match the digital proof you approved, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we will reprint them or refund you. See our Return Policy for details.
Material & Specs
How thick are the plastic cards?
All Luxor cards are 30mil (0.76mm) PVC, the same thickness as a standard credit card. They feel rigid and substantial, not flimsy.
What size are the cards?
Standard US business card size, 3.5 x 2 inches, with 1/8 inch rounded corners. Horizontal and vertical layouts are both available.
Are these cards waterproof?
Yes. PVC is waterproof and tear-resistant, so the cards will not crease, fray or go soft like paper.
What is the difference between clear, frosted and solid white?
Clear is fully transparent, with white ink printed behind text and logos so they stay readable. Frosted is translucent with a matte finish that diffuses light and hides fingerprints. Solid white is fully opaque and gives the most vivid full-color printing on both sides, like a credit card.
Can you print on both sides?
Yes, all three materials can be printed on both sides. On clear and frosted cards, the back can show through transparent areas, so our designer plans the layout and shows you both sides on the proof.
Pricing & Ordering
How much do plastic business cards cost?
Prices depend on material and quantity, from 125 to 2,500 cards, and include the design proof and standard shipping. The per-card price drops sharply as quantity goes up. See the full price table on our Pricing page.
What is the minimum order?
125 cards. You can also order 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,500 cards.
Can I order cards for several people at once?
Yes. Choose a total quantity and use Add Multiple Sets to split it across 2 to 20 names or designs while keeping volume pricing. Each additional set has a small setup charge.
Do promo codes stack with sales?
No. When a site-wide sale is running and you also enter a promo code, you automatically get whichever discount is larger.
How do I pay?
You can pay securely online by card when you place your order, or after you approve your proof using the secure payment link your design concierge sends you.
Can I get a sample before I order?
Yes. Request a free sample kit on our Sample Kit page and we will mail you clear, frosted and solid white cards so you can feel the 30mil thickness yourself.
Design & Files
Do I need a finished design?
No. Pick a template, upload a logo, or just describe what you want. Our design concierge builds the layout for free and emails you a proof within 24 to 48 hours, with unlimited revisions.
What file types can I upload?
Vector PDF, AI and EPS files give the sharpest results. We also accept PSD, high-resolution PNG and JPG, Canva PDF exports and images made with AI tools. Our designer will tell you if anything needs fixing.
Can you print a design I made with ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude?
Yes. Upload the image and our designer rebuilds it as clean vector artwork that prints crisply on plastic, then sends you a proof.
Do you have design templates?
Yes. Browse hundreds of free templates by industry in our Design Gallery, or download our horizontal and vertical print templates (AI, EPS, PDF, PSD) from any product page.
Turnaround & Shipping
How long does production take?
Standard production is 7 business days after you approve your proof. Priority Rush production is 4 business days for an extra fee.
How much is shipping?
Standard ground shipping within the contiguous US is free and usually takes 3 to 5 business days after production. Overnight (Next Day Air) delivery is available for an extra fee.
Can you ship directly to my client without your branding?
Yes. Choose Blind Drop-Shipping at checkout and we ship in unbranded packaging with no invoice, which is ideal for designers and agencies.
