If you’re searching for the cheapest business card printing in Singapore, you’ll find hundreds of options in minutes.

If you’re searching for a business card that actually represents your brand, you’ll quickly realise something else:

Most printers sell price. Very few understand branding.

As someone who has spent over a decade advising Singapore businesses on brand growth, one thing is consistent across industries—from retail and F&B to creative startups:

Business cards are rarely “just cards.”
They are brand signals.

And that’s exactly why Printmystuffsg openly says it’s not the cheapest business card print service in Singapore—because price is not the problem most business owners are trying to solve.

What Makes Business Card Printing Cheap.. or Expensive?

Some online printing services advertise extremely low prices for business cards in Singapore. Here’s why prices can be very low:

1. Material Choice

Standard 300gsm card stock is inexpensive and widely available.

No special finishes or coatings.

2. Printing Method

Simple offset printing or high-volume offset printing can reduce costs.

No embossing, foiling, or spot UV effects.

3. Quantity

Printing hundreds or thousands of cards lowers the unit price. Bulk orders spread the cost of setup and materials.

4. Limited Customization

Standard rectangular cards.

Minimal color options (CMYK only).

No special shapes, cut-outs, or textures.

5. Eco-Friendly Materials

Surprisingly, recycled stock paper can sometimes be slightly more expensive than luxury stock if sourced externally.

Tip: Cheaper cards are perfect for startups, events, or situations where price matters more than luxury feel. They still serve as professional tools, but the tactile experience is basic.

 

Why “Cheap Business Card Printing” Often Costs More in the Long Run

Most Singapore business owners start with good intentions:

• “I just need something simple.”

• “It’s just a name card.”

• “Let’s save cost first.”

Then reality hits.

Common Pain Points We See Repeatedly

• Colours don’t match the logo on your website or packaging

• Card stock feels flimsy or forgettable

• Different batches look different

• Cards bend, fade, or scuff too easily

• You feel hesitant handing them out

At that point, the cheap option becomes:

• Reprints

• Design compromises

• Lost confidence

• Missed first impressions

This is the exact gap Printmystuffsg exists to close.

What Drives Premium Business Card Printing Prices?

Premium business cards are more than just paper—they are a statement of your brand. Several factors can increase the price:

1. High-Quality Materials

• Thick card stocks (310–500gsm) feel substantial in hand.

• Specialty papers like cotton, linen, or textured finishes elevate the tactile experience.

2. Advanced Printing Techniques

• Offset printing ensures precise color reproduction and consistent quality across large runs. Even for a bulk order of, say, 100,000 pieces, having 100 different designs of 1,000 pieces each will cost significantly more than printing 100,000 pieces of a single design.

• Special techniques like foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, or letterpress add a premium feel.

3. Custom Shapes & Sizes

• Rounded corners, unique dimensions, die-cut designs, or layered cards require additional setup and tools.

4. Full Custom Printing & Design

• Custom artwork, logos, and colors tailored to your brand identity.

• Specialty coatings such as matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination.

5. Sustainable Practices

• Eco-friendly printing with soy-based inks or FSC-certified paper can cost more due to sourcing and production processes.

6. Small Batch Production

• Ordering fewer cards increases per-unit cost because setup costs are distributed over fewer units.

Beyond Business Cards: Other Printing Services

Understanding pricing for business cards also helps when exploring other printing services. Similar principles apply to:

1. Packaging Printing

• Custom packaging for products adds brand value.

• Price depends on material thickness, size, special finishes, and bulk quantity.

2. Label and Sticker Printing

• Cheaper options use standard paper and minimal colors.

• Premium options use waterproof materials, foil, embossing, and intricate shapes.

3. Promotional Product Printing

• Costs vary by product type (mugs, tote bags, apparel).

• Complexity of design, color requirements, and printing technique (screen printing vs. digital transfer) affect pricing.

Tips for Getting the Best Value

1. Determine Quantity First
   Bulk printing lowers cost per unit.

2. Choose the Right Method
   Digital printing for small runs, offset printing for bulk orders.

3. Balance Customization and Budget
   Decide which premium finishes are essential versus nice-to-have.

4. Consider Eco-Friendly Options
   Sustainable choices may add value to your brand without drastically increasing costs.

5. Plan Ahead
   Express or rush orders increase cost—planning allows you to maximize quality for a lower price.

Are Expensive Name Cards Worth It for Small Businesses? (The Honest Perspective)

This question is being searched more frequently by Singapore SMEs—and it’s the wrong framing.

The real question is:

Are the right name cards worth it?

The Actual Pain Point

Small business owners don’t regret spending on name cards.
They regret:

• Cards that don’t feel like their brand

• Cards that clash with packaging or signage

• Cards that feel disposable

A business card is often:

• The first physical interaction with your brand

• Handed out during partnerships, supplier meetings, or collaborations

When the card feels cheap, the brand feels cheap—no matter how good your service is.

Printmystuffsg solves this by helping clients spend intentionally, not excessively.
