The price of realtor business cards in Canada at a glance
These are product-specific listed prices, not a universal Canadian average. Use them as budget anchors, then confirm the exact quantity and configuration before checkout.
| Card type | Listed price shown | Available quantities | Specifications and timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Business Cards | $35 CAD listed price | 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 | Standard size, single or double sided, no coating or soft-touch lamination, same- or next-day pickup listed |

These amounts should not be treated as guaranteed prices for every quantity or configuration. The supplied product data does not provide a separate price for every listed quantity, and a product page may show a starting price or the price of a selected option. Compare the exact quantity, sides, finish, and corners you intend to order.
What a business-card price includes, and what it may not
Record the quantity, size, number of printed sides, stock, coating, corners, and production timeline before comparing quotes. Then separate the product price from costs that can change the final total.
- Design: Decide whether your artwork is ready to print or whether you need design assistance. Top Realtor Sign & Print states that its in-house designers create Realtor signs, business cards, feature sheets, and brochures.
- Proofing: Check names, phone numbers, brokerage details, colors, and QR codes before approval.
- Upgrades: Double-sided printing, lamination, soft-touch coating, raised UV, foil, painted edges, and specialty stock can move the order into another price tier.
- Tax: Treat the displayed product amount as pre-tax unless the checkout or quote says otherwise.
- Shipping or delivery: Add courier or delivery charges when comparing a delivered order with local pickup.
- Rush timing: Do not apply the Economy timeline to premium finishes. The listed products have different production windows.
Use this calculation: printed product price + design work + upgrades + tax + shipping or delivery = estimated order total. Record pickup separately so it is not confused with free shipping.
Online pricing may cover standardized options while showing delivery later. Local ordering may instead combine pickup, design help, production timing, and support. This guide to online business card pricing explains those trade-offs.
How quantity and finish change the budget
Quantity affects the total, but the best choice is the smallest run that supports your workflow without forcing a reprint after every minor change.
Economy cards for a controlled starting budget
Economy Business Cards are available from 250 to 5,000, with single- or double-sided printing, no coating or soft-touch lamination, round or square corners, and same- or next-day pickup listed. They suit an approved design, a straightforward professional card, or a quick replacement.
Lamination for everyday handling
The $90 laminated range includes matte, glossy, and soft-touch options in the standard 3.5 x 2 inch format. Matte reduces shine, gloss creates a brighter surface, and soft-touch adds a smooth tactile feel. These are presentation choices, not guaranteed marketing outcomes.
Raised Spot UV or foil for a premium finish
Raised Spot UV cards are listed at $150 and support 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 cards. They use soft-touch lamination and raised Spot UV on one or two sides. This suits an agent who wants tactile emphasis on a logo, name, or design detail.
Raised gold or silver foil cards are also listed at $150, with the same standard size and quantity options. Luxury business cards fit a brand presentation where the finish matters and the artwork has enough open space for foil to remain readable.
Painted edges for thickness and color
Painted Edge Business Cards use 32pt stock, an uncoated surface, and the standard 3.5 x 2 inch format. Quantities are 250, 500, and 1,000, with black, gold, light blue, red, silver, white with no paint, and yellow edge choices. The listed 5-to-7-business-day window makes them less suitable for an urgent replacement.
Which quantity fits your Realtor workflow?
There is no universal number every Realtor uses. Base the decision on design stability, contact changes, urgency, and whether one person or a team will distribute the cards.
New agent testing a design
Choose the smallest quantity offered by the product you want. Premium Spot UV and foil options list 100 cards, while Economy, laminated, and Painted Edge options start at 250. A smaller first run limits waste if your brokerage changes a logo, your phone number changes, or a QR code points to a temporary page.
Active solo Realtor
Compare 500 and 1,000 cards once the artwork is approved and you use physical cards routinely. A larger order is not automatically the better financial choice if contact details may change or the design is still evolving.
Urgent reprint
Economy Business Cards are the clearest fit among these options because same- or next-day pickup is listed. The premium products list longer windows, so do not assume that foil, Spot UV, laminated, or painted-edge cards are available the same day.
Brokerage or team order
Separate shared branding from individual details. Approve the logo, colors, fonts, brokerage wording, and clear space once, then proof each agent’s name, title, phone number, email, website, and QR destination separately.
Printed, digital, or NFC: which cost model fits?
Printed cards have a clear one-time production cost. Digital and NFC cards shift more value into a profile, link, or tap-enabled object, so the total depends on the provider, hardware, software, and any recurring plan.
| Option | Upfront model | Questions to confirm | Useful for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Printed card | Pay for a quantity and specification | Future reprints when details change | Meetings, open houses, referrals, and leave-behinds |
| Digital card | May use a profile or service plan | Hosting, updates, export options, and renewal terms | Sharing contact information through a phone or link |
| NFC card | May combine hardware with a digital profile | Replacement, profile access, compatibility, and subscriptions | Agents who want tap-based sharing |
Digital or NFC cards are not automatically cheaper over time. Compare the complete first-year and renewal costs with how often you need a physical handout. A printed card with a QR code can also provide a stable physical reminder while sending people to changeable online information.
Before checkout: calculate the real order total
- Choose quantity: Record whether you need 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, or another available run.
- Confirm format: Check whether the standard 3.5 x 2 inch size suits your wallet, cardholder, and artwork.
- Choose sides: Decide whether the back carries a QR code, services, languages, or social details.
- Choose stock and finish: Compare uncoated, matte, glossy, soft-touch, Spot UV, foil, and 32pt painted-edge options by purpose.
- Prepare artwork: Check bleed, safe margins, resolution, spelling, contact information, and QR destination.
- Obtain brokerage approval: Confirm logo use, colors, wording, title, and template restrictions.
- Plan bilingual content: Decide whether both languages belong on the card, on the back, or on a linked page. Do not shrink the type until it becomes difficult to read.
- Confirm collection: Record the exact pickup or delivery window for the selected configuration.
- Add non-product costs: Include design assistance, tax, shipping or delivery, and any rush charge identified in the quote.
- Approve the proof: Compare it with your source details and check every team member’s version.
For a useful comparison, place 500 Economy cards beside 500 soft-touch, Spot UV, foil, or Painted Edge cards. Record each product price, then add only the design, tax, delivery, and timing costs that actually apply.
Frequently asked questions about realtor business card costs
Does ordering 1,000 cards always reduce the cost per card?
No. The result depends on the product, finish, printed sides, and price schedule. Compare the final configuration instead of assuming a lower unit price.
Are digital or NFC business cards cheaper over time?
Not necessarily. Compare hardware, profiles, service plans, renewals, and replacement costs with the number of printed cards you expect to use.
Can I get same-day realtor business cards in Canada?
Availability depends on the printer, artwork, quantity, product, and pickup location. Top Realtor Sign & Print lists same- or next-day pickup for Economy Business Cards, while the premium products list longer windows.
Are taxes, design, and shipping included?
Do not assume they are included unless the listing or quote says so. Add design assistance, tax, shipping or delivery, and rush service separately when calculating the total.
Choose the card budget that matches your next conversation
Compare Economy Business Cards for a controlled starting budget, laminated cards for a finished everyday option, and Spot UV, raised foil, or Painted Edge cards when the finish is central to your presentation and schedule.
Top Realtor Sign & Print offers Canadian business-card options with listed quantities, finishes, and pickup windows. Compare the available laminated business card printing service, then confirm the final total before approving production.
