Painted edge business cards are printed on ultra thick 32pt stock with color painted on all four edges, in 16 solid and metallic colors or a plain white edge. Painted edge business cards, also called colored edge or edge painted business cards, suit designers, photographers, salons, event planners and brands with a signature color. Full color prints on the front or on both sides, and every edge color costs the same.
Color you see from the side
The paint runs along all four edges, so a stack on a counter or a card in a hand shows a line of your color before anyone reads the front.
16 colors, one price
Choose from 9 solid colors and 7 metallics, or leave the edge white. Every color costs the same, so pick the one that matches your brand.
Thick enough to show it
At 32pt the card is more than twice as thick as a standard 14pt card, so the color on the edge is easy to see.
Best for: Designers, photographers, salons, event planners and any brand with a signature color.

What are painted edge business cards?
Thick 32pt cards with color painted on all four edges. The front and back print in full color like any card, and the painted edge adds a line of color you see from the side.
Which edge colors can I choose?
Black, red, orange, yellow, blue, turquoise, purple, pink and brown, plus metallic gold, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and hot pink. You can also leave the edge unpainted (white). Every color costs the same.
How are painted edge cards different from ultra thick cards?
Both are 32pt. Our ultra thick card has a black core between white layers, so its edge shows a dark stripe, and it starts at 500 cards. Painted edge cards are painted along the edge in the color you choose and start at 250 cards.
Does printing the back cost extra?
A little. Painted edge cards cost less printed on the front only, and the sides menu shows the difference at your quantity. Most of our other papers print the back at no extra cost.
Can painted edge cards have rounded corners?
No. Painted edge cards come with square corners only.
How much do painted edge business cards cost?
From $113 for 250 cards printed on the front, at the same price for every edge color. They ship in about 8 business days after you approve your proof.
