How It Works

Business card printing at MCI starts with your artwork or a design consultation. Bring us an existing file or work with our in-house design team to build something from scratch — we handle both. Choose your stock weight (16pt, 18pt, or 32pt), select your finishes (spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, soft-touch coating, edge painting, or die-cut shapes), and we produce a digital proof before going to press. Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days. Need same-day business cards in St. Louis? Orders placed before noon on heavy stock and premium finishes can ship the same day. Call (314) 849-7228 to confirm availability. We print everything in-house — no outsourcing, no surprises — so your order ships complete and on time.

Why Choose MCI

Online printers give you 12pt cards that bend in your pocket. We start at 16pt — and our 32pt cards get noticed the moment you hand one over. Since 1984, MCI has printed business cards and corporate stationery for St. Louis law firms, financial advisors, medical practices, and executives who understand that a card is a handshake you leave behind. As a WBE-certified woman-owned print shop, every business card order also counts toward your organization's supplier diversity goals — a real advantage for corporate and government buyers. We are St. Louis's full-service commercial printer: your business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and presentation folders are produced under one roof with the same color standard across every piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do business cards cost in St. Louis?
Business card pricing depends on quantity, stock weight, and finishes. Standard 16pt cards start around $85–$120 for 250 cards. Premium 32pt cards with foil stamping or spot UV typically range from $150–$300 for 250 cards. Volume pricing drops the per-card cost significantly — 1,000 cards often cost less than double the price of 250. Contact us for an exact quote: (314) 849-7228.
What is the minimum order for business cards?
Our minimum order is 250 business cards. This applies to standard and premium stocks, all finishes, and rush orders. For large corporate orders (5,000+ cards, multiple employees), we offer volume pricing — call us to discuss.
Can you help design my business cards?
Yes. Our in-house design team can build your card from scratch or work from existing brand guidelines. If you have a logo and brand colors, we can create a ready-to-print design. Design fees are quoted separately based on complexity. If your artwork is already print-ready, there's no design fee — we accept PDF, AI, EPS, and TIFF files.
Can you print matching business cards, letterhead, and envelopes?
Yes — that's what we do best. We Pantone-match your entire corporate stationery set so your cards, letterhead, envelopes, and folders share exact color consistency. One proof cycle covers everything, and printing it all in-house means no color drift between vendors.
What paper thickness should I choose for business cards?
16pt is our recommended starting point — noticeably heavier than the standard 14pt cards from online printers. 18pt adds more presence and works well with foil accents. Our 32pt cards make a real statement and often get comments at networking events. The right weight depends on your finishes — foil and embossing look best on heavier stock.
What specialty finishes are available?
Spot UV adds a glossy raised element to your logo or key text against a matte background. Foil stamping is available in gold, silver, copper, and custom colors. We also offer embossing, debossing, edge painting, round corners, soft-touch coating, and die-cut shapes. These finishes turn a card into something people keep.
How fast can I get business cards in St. Louis?
Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days. We offer same-day rush printing for orders placed before noon — on the same heavy stocks and finishes, not thin emergency cards. We are local, so there is no shipping delay: pick up same-day or schedule delivery. Call ahead to confirm same-day availability: (314) 849-7228.
Does ordering from MCI count toward supplier diversity?
Yes. MCI is a nationally certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE). Every purchase — from a 250-card order to a full corporate stationery package — counts toward your organization's WBE supplier diversity spend. We provide certification documentation for procurement reporting.
