What is an Ink Business Card?
"Ink" is our moniker - any product stamped with the Ink name is a product we've refined to perfection. An Ink Business Card is made for you — it’s your name, brand, and details printed on premium stock that stands out. Basically: the card you hand over when you don’t want to be forgotten five minutes later.
How many business cards should I get?
The right number depends on how you plan to use them! Here's our recommendation: Limited marketing campaign, personal branding, side hustle (freelance, creatives, etc.): 100–250 cards Networking events or conferences: 250–500 cards Local business with steady foot traffic (restaurants, salons, shops): 1,000–2,500 cards Launching a new business or rebrand: 2,500 cards (you’ll want extras for momentum!) Sales teams or multiple employees handing out cards: 2,500–5,000 cards Trade shows, expos, or festivals: 5,000+ cards When in doubt, aim higher — running out of cards mid-opportunity costs more than ordering a little extra upfront.
What's the size of an InkFE business card?
We know tradition and professionalism often go hand-in-hand, so InkFE business cards follow the industry-standard 3.5 x 2 inch size, but that’s where the standards end! With premium papers and unmatched printing, your card stands out the moment it’s in someone’s hand.
