Business cards in JHB,
explained.
The questions JHB customers ask most when ordering business cards.
How much do business cards cost in Johannesburg?
Pricing varies with quantity, paper stock and finishing. As a guide: 250 standard 350gsm matte cards typically run R250–R600, 500 cards R350–R900, and 1,000 cards R500–R1,400. Premium finishes — soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, painted edges, spot UV — add 20–60% to the base price. Same-day or rush turnarounds carry a small premium too. The quotes you receive will give you exact pricing for your specs.
How quickly can I get business cards printed in JHB?
Most JHB suppliers offer 3–5 working day turnarounds as standard. Same-day printing is available from several Sandton, Randburg and CBD printers — usually for digital print on standard stocks, with collection rather than delivery. For specialty finishes (foil, embossing, painted edges, soft-touch) plan for 5–7 working days. Mention your deadline in the brief and we'll prioritise suppliers who can meet it.
What's the most popular business card spec?
The default spec for most JHB business cards is 90 × 50mm, 350gsm matte, full colour both sides, with matte lamination. It's professional, durable, photographs well and takes most ink cleanly. From there, the next-most-common upgrades are soft-touch lamination (premium tactile feel), spot UV on the logo (subtle gloss highlight), or foil stamping in gold or rose gold for boutique brands.
Can JHB suppliers handle artwork design as well?
Yes. Most JHB printers either have in-house designers or work with regular freelance partners. If you need design as well as print, mention it in the brief — suppliers who offer design will quote both costs separately. If you have artwork ready, a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 3mm bleed, fonts outlined) is what suppliers prefer.
Should I get cards printed in JHB if I'm based outside the metro?
It depends on quantity and finishing. For small standard runs (under 1,000), local printing in your own city is usually faster and cheaper after delivery costs. For larger volumes or specialty finishes (foil, embossing, painted edges) JHB suppliers often have better pricing and equipment, and overnight courier to most SA cities is cheap. We can match you with both — mention your delivery address in the brief.
