At Same Day Printing, we offer a variety of design services to suit your specific needs. Remember, your selected “Turnaround” time starts from when your print-ready art is approved. Each design service comes with an estimated turnaround for the initial check/design and each revision. Please factor in this time if you’re working with a tight deadline. For example, if you need your items in 3 business days and require design services, you might need to opt for a Next Business Day print turnaround to accommodate the time needed for receiving, reviewing, and approving your design.

If you’re providing your own artwork, ensure it meets all the specifications detailed in the downloadable templates on this page, or as outlined in our Artwork Guidelines.

When you have only one item to print, simply select ‘1’ from the dropdown menu.

However, if you’re looking to print multiple sets of different artwork while keeping all other print and finishing specifications the same (such as size, stock, color, quantity, etc.), you might qualify for a quantity discount. In this case, you don’t need to process each artwork as a separate item. Instead, you can indicate how many different kinds or sets of artwork you have. For instance, if you have four different designs of postcards and you want 50 copies of each design, you would enter ‘Quantity: 50’ and ‘Kinds: 4’. After confirming your print order, if you are supplying print-ready art, you will be requested to upload each set of artwork separately. This approach is convenient and cost-effective when printing multiple designs with the same production and finishing specifications.

Freight costs are calculated at checkout after adding all print items to your cart.

UBER Direct – Melbourne Metro

If you need it sooner, try an UBER. If time is particularly short, we can organise an UBER delivery, or you can organise an UBER pick up from us.

Keep in mind:

• Uber is not a standard courier service and you will need to be able to track the driver and meet them at the curb.
• UBER prices vary dependent on dispatch time and date, travel time and any wait time at the delivery point, so if we are organising your UBER delivery, the estimated cost will be invoiced separately to your order, and requires payment via Credit Card prior to dispatch and someone to meet the driver at the street.
  If UBER charge is more than the estimate, the variation in cost will be charged to your credit card.
• If you are organising an UBER pickup,
  • Select the Uber “Package” booking option
  • Include the Job Number and Business Name they are picking up for in the notes

*Same Day Courier is generally up to 4 hours from dispatch to the city or western suburbs, however delivery times do fluctuate with seasonal events and weather. Unfortunately, as with all courier solutions, we have no control over delivery once dispatched. If you require your delivery before COB or by a specific time we recommend pick-up or UBER. For interstate deliveries we can only guarantee to dispatch on time. While over 96% of our deliveries arrive on schedule, we cannot guarantee there will be no courier delays.

There are no lamination options available for Classic Kraft Business Cards. If you’re opting for laminated business cards, it’s best to go for our standard ones that are made from premium 360gsm High Bulk card.

Absolutely, we’ve got more than just kraft business cards! We also offer an extensive range of other styles like die-cut, foiled, and folded business cards if you’re looking for something a bit different. Check our main menu or search bar for other business card options – or contact us to discuss your needs.

Understanding Minimum Quantity and Order Value:

While we do not impose a minimum order quantity (MOQ), we have established a minimum order value (MOV). This approach ensures that we can comprehensively cover the costs involved in job processing, file handling, pre-press, printing, production, finishing, packing, equipment, and other overheads. These costs are consistent regardless of whether you order a single item or a thousand.

You’re welcome to enter a custom quantity for your order, but it’s worth noting that increasing your order volume can often be more cost-effective. As is typical in many industries, the unit price tends to decrease as the quantity increases, offering better value for larger orders.

Yes! With Same Day Printing, you can customise individual cards and split your order quantity across multiple employees within your company. You can supply a multi-page print-ready pdf or your base design file and a list of the names/contact details you’re looking to add to your cards. Call us on 03 8361 3699 today to discuss your variable print run.

Classic Kraft Business Cards are ideal for those seeking an environmentally friendly option without sacrificing style. The natural texture and colour of kraft paper make these cards unique, durable, and perfect for various branding styles.

Absolutely! We encourage customisation, whether it’s through unique typography, logos, or using white ink for enhanced visibility and contrast. Our team is ready to help you design a card that perfectly encapsulates your brand.

The unique texture and colour of Kraft paper gives a warm, organic feel to your business cards but they can also affect how your design appears. It’s important to choose colours and fonts that stand out against the natural brown hue of the Kraft paper for clear legibility. Bold, dark colours like black or navy and simple, clear fonts work best.

White ink plays a crucial role in enhancing the design of Classic Kraft Business Cards. When used, it adds vibrancy and contrast against the natural brown hue of the Kraft paper, making your design elements pop. This is especially effective for highlighting logos, text, or key graphics. Additionally, you can combine white ink with other colours to create a more dynamic and visually appealing design. The white ink underlay can help other colours stand out, ensuring they remain vivid and noticeable on the Kraft background.

We offer same-day printing for Classic Kraft Business Cards that do not require white ink, provided your order—including payment and print-ready artwork—is submitted by our 10 AM cutoff. This allows you to be ready for any networking opportunity without delay. For orders that include white ink, the fastest available dispatch time is the next business day. Please note that these timelines refer to when your cards will be dispatched from our facility. The actual time you receive your cards will depend on the shipping process from our dispatch to your location.

We have a dedicated customer service team that can assist you through call, email, or chat. Please do not hesitate to call us at 1300 663 242 or email us at helpme@samedayprinting.com.au.
