Business cards are greater than simply transportable touch information. The properly designed cards look more attractive and can convey character and utility. For printing the alluring cards you must select the right printing method which costs you less. Offset and digital printing are common methods for printing cards.
But which is the best one for printing business cards? Below we have explained both methods in the context of printing business cards and the quantity you want to print.Â
Offset PrintingÂ
In offset printing wet inks and plates are put to use. Firstly the image is produced on the plates then it is transferred to a rubber blanket and then to a printing surface. Business cards produced through offset printing will have a clean and crispy line because a plate transfers the image or designs to the rubber sheet and then pressed to a paper. Offset printing has a more upfront cost, so it is suitable for printing more quantities of business cards. As the quantity increases the cost of printing per card will decrease.Â
Digital PrintingÂ
Digital printing is a computerized process of printing business cards. Digital printing is a feasible alternative of offset printing. If you want to print fewer cards, let’s say less than 200 cards, then digital printing is a good option. Thanks to the constantly evolving technology that has made digital printing as effective as offset printing. Prices remain consistent in digital printing, which is why it will cost less in the short-run and bit more expensive in the long run.
Conclusion
If you want the cards in a bigger quantity with crispy lines and clear finishing then offset printing will surely add slightly more value to your business cards with less cost. And if you want to print fewer cards at the cost-effective rate then digital printing is the best option.Â
