Why Affordable Business Cards Still Punch Above Their Weight

Let’s be honest: in a world of QR codes, digital profiles, and inboxes bursting at the seams, the business card should probably be extinct by now. But it isn’t. Not even close. And there’s a reason for that.

A well-made affordable business card, especially one created by printers who actually care, still has the power to stop someone mid-conversation and think, “Nice.”
And when that happens, your brand just won.

At Active Print & Design, we’ve built our reputation on helping businesses get the basics right, from affordable business cards and high-quality printed business cards to brochure printing, flyers, signage and more. Whether you’re a small startup searching for printers in Leeds, a growing brand comparing options to My Print Leeds, or a business that simply wants to look smarter without spending silly money, we’ve got you covered.

Affordable Doesn’t Mean Forgettable

You know those flimsy business cards that feel like someone printed them on the office laserjet during lunch?
Yeah… we don’t do those.

Our printed business cards use quality stock that feels substantial, the kind of card people instinctively hold onto. Even our most affordable business card options are designed to look polished, professional, and “more expensive than they actually were.”

Because making your business look good shouldn’t require a luxury budget.

Design That Works Harder Than You Think

A business card is small, but that tiny rectangle is prime storytelling space.
Your logo, your colours, your layout, even the white space… it all signals something.

We help you create business cards that actually say something about your brand. Clean. Confident. Considered.

And if you need matching brochure printing, large format print, or a full print refresh? We keep everything consistent, because consistency builds trust faster than any tagline.

Flexible Quantities, Realistic Prices

Got a networking event coming up?
New team members joining?
Or just sick of handing out the last slightly-battered card from 2021?

We print what you need, whether that’s 50 cards or 5,000, with pricing that makes sense for real businesses. No pressure. No oversell. Just honest value from a Leeds print team that understands budgets.

Why Business Cards Still Matter (Even in 2025)

People forget email threads.


They lose LinkedIn connections.
They ignore follow-up messages when life gets hectic.

But a great business card? That ends up in wallets, on desks, pinned to noticeboards, tucked inside notebooks.

It sticks around.
It does quiet marketing on your behalf.
And often, it opens doors long after the conversation ends.

If that sounds like a small investment with a big return, that’s because it is.
