Writable Business Cards
Writable Business Cards
A business card that works twice as hard. Writable business cards print a glossy full-color front and leave the back uncoated — ready for appointments, quotes, and handwritten notes.
- Glossy printed front, writable uncoated back
- 14pt C1S (coated one side) stock
- Perfect for appointment and referral cards
- Full color, one side or both
- Standard or rounded corners
Front for the brand, back for the pen
Barbers, dentists, salons, tutors, cleaners — any business that books the next visit on the spot needs a card that takes ink. C1S stock is the trick: coated and vivid on the front, smooth and uncoated on the back, so ballpoint writes cleanly without smearing. Print appointment lines, a punch grid, or leave it blank for freehand notes.
Make them yours
Add rounded corners for a card that stays crisp in wallets, and design the back with light guides — date/time lines, a “referred by” field, or your rebooking offer.

Writable business cards FAQ

Everything clear before you order.
Every order gets a free file review before printing. Here's what to know about specs, artwork, proofing, and delivery.
Specifications
Quantity: 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2500, 5000. Configuration: Standard
Artwork requirements
Upload print-ready files as PDF (preferred), AI, EPS, JPG, or PNG at 300 DPI in CMYK color. Extend backgrounds 0.125" past the trim edge (bleed) and keep text and logos at least 0.125" inside it (safe area). Every file is checked by our team before production — if something's off, we'll contact you before anything prints.
Proofing and production
Production time starts after your artwork passes file review — not at checkout. If your order requires proof approval, we'll send the proof and the production clock starts once you approve it. Turnaround options for each product are shown in the configurator above.
Shipping and delivery
Delivery time is production time plus transit. Once your order ships you'll get a tracking number by email. Transit depends on your address and the shipping method selected at checkout — larger format items may ship separately from small-format printing.

Answers about artwork, production and ordering.
What pens work on writable business cards?
Ballpoint, pencil, and most gel pens write cleanly on the uncoated C1S back and dry fast — ideal for appointment dates and quick notes. The glossy front resists ink by design.
How fast are writable business cards printed?
Production runs 3–4 business days after your artwork passes our free file review, then shipping time is added based on your address.
Can I print appointment lines on the back?
Yes — choose two-sided printing (4/4) and design the back with date and time lines, a punch grid, or a referral field. It stays fully writable.
