What are die-cut business cards and how much do they cost in Kenya?
A die-cut business card is a business card cut into a special shape instead of the usual plain rectangle. Print Lion prints them digitally on both sides, cuts them with a die, then machine trims them. The price depends on the quantity and the finish, so you send your details and we give you a quote. Orders are ready in 1 to 2 days once your artwork is correct and approved. Delivery is available to all counties in Kenya, or you can collect from our office on Moi Avenue, Nairobi.
A shape that stands out
A die-cut card does not look like the stack of rectangles on a client's desk, so people notice it and are more likely to remember you.
Printed on both sides
Your logo and name go on the front and your contact details or message go on the back, all digitally printed.
Clean, trimmed edges
Each card is cut with a die and then machine trimmed, so the shape comes out neat.
Proof before we print
We send you a proof first and printing only starts once you approve it, so you see the card before it is made.
Delivered countrywide
We deliver to all counties in Kenya, not only Nairobi. You can also collect from our office.
What customers say about Print Lion
How to prepare your artwork for printing
- Send your file Send your artwork and your details by email, WhatsApp or a shareable link.
- Check your proof We send you a proof of the card so you can check the shape, text and layout.
- Approve and we print Printing starts only after you approve the proof. Your order is then ready in 1 to 2 days.
Getting your artwork ready
Because the shape is cut with a die, send a vector, editable file (for example an AI file or another vector format) so the cutline is a precise path. Files should be at least 150 DPI at final print size. CMYK and RGB are both fine, but printed colour can look different from your screen. If exact colour matters, ask us for a physical sample first, which can extend the turnaround. Add a 2 mm bleed beyond the trim edge, and keep text and graphics at least 10 mm from the trim edge. We cannot use Word, PowerPoint, Excel or Publisher files, or Canva or Google Docs links. Send your files by email, WhatsApp or a shareable link.
