    Die Cut Business Cards

    Not every brand fits inside a rectangle. Square cards feel modern and balanced. Circle cards are bold and impossible to ignore. Or go fully custom — any shape your design demands, cut precisely from premium stock.

    How die cutting works

    Standard shapes

    Standard shape cards — square, circle, oval, and rounded corners — use pre-made cutting dies that produce consistent, precise results at scale. Because the dies already exist, these shapes are available with faster turnaround and lower cost than fully custom shapes. Standard shapes are a simple way to make your card stand out without the complexity of a custom die.

    Custom die cutting

    Custom die-cut cards are cut to any shape you design. A steel cutting die is manufactured to match your artwork — this die is then used to cut every card in your run. The die can follow the outline of a logo, create an abstract silhouette, cut windows or interior holes, or produce any organic shape up to 3.5" × 3.5".

    Custom dies are a one-time investment. Once your die is made, it can be reused for future orders at no additional die cost. The first order includes die creation, which is why custom die-cut cards have a longer turnaround than standard shapes.

    Choosing the right shape

    The shape of your card communicates before anyone reads a word. Square cards feel modern, balanced, and intentional — ideal for creative professionals, architects, and brands with strong visual identities. Circle cards are bold, playful, and memorable — they work for brands that want to signal they do things differently. Rounded corners add a subtle softness to the standard format — a small detail that makes a card feel more considered and polished.

    Custom die-cut shapes make the most sense when the shape itself is part of the brand story — a guitar pick for a music studio, a house silhouette for a realtor, a leaf shape for a sustainability brand.
