Custom Die Cut Business Cards – Designed to Be Remembered
Custom die cut business cards are built for brands that refuse to blend in. By moving beyond standard rectangular formats, die cutting allows your business card to take on a shape that reinforces your brand identity the moment it’s placed in someone’s hand. The result is a card that feels intentional, tactile, and far more memorable than conventional options.
At printshaQ, die cut business cards are produced with precision cutting, premium materials, and advanced finishing options—giving you complete control over how your brand is presented in physical form.
What Makes a Business Card “Die Cut”?
Die cut business cards are created using a custom steel die that cuts your card into a specific shape or contour. This technique allows for anything from subtle curves and notches to bold silhouettes and fully custom outlines. Unlike standard cards that rely solely on design and color, die cut cards introduce shape as a core branding element.
The shape can complement your logo, echo your industry, or simply create visual intrigue that encourages people to keep your card rather than discard it.
