1. Printfast — best overall for Toronto

Printfast is a Toronto print shop with 45 years in business, serving Ontario and Quebec with Canada-wide shipping. It prints business cards on 12pt, 14pt, 16pt and 18.5pt stocks, plus matte-laminated, luxury and NFC cards, and it is one of the only shops in the city offering genuine 1-hour and same-day business cards with free local pickup.

  • Pros: 1-hour and same-day turnaround; free Toronto pickup; wide stock range including 18.5pt and NFC; online designer plus upload-your-own; standard cards from $6.93 for 25.
  • Cons: the website and product navigation feel dated; the deepest same-day options are Toronto-area only; the catalogue is large enough to be hard to browse.
  • Pricing (verified Aug 2026): business cards from $6.93 for 25; NFC business cards from about $33.
  • Best for: anyone in the GTA who needs professional business cards today.

2. Jukebox Print — best for premium and luxury cards

Jukebox Print runs a Toronto location in Liberty Village and specializes in premium stocks and finishes — foil, spot UV, soft-touch and cotton cards. Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days plus shipping, with next-day available if you approve your proof in time.

  • Pros: excellent premium finishes; strong design tooling; local Toronto pickup; well-regarded print quality.
  • Cons: slower than a rush shop; premium finishes cost more; not built for print-it-in-an-hour jobs.
  • Pricing (verified Aug 2026): 100 cards on 16pt semi-gloss from about $25 CAD.
  • Best for: designers and brands that want a high-end card and can wait a few days.

3. Vistaprint — best budget and DIY option

Vistaprint is a mass-market online printer with a huge template library and frequent promotions. It is usually the cheapest way to get a basic card, but orders ship to you rather than printing locally, so it is not an option when you need cards the same day.

  • Pros: lowest entry price; enormous template selection; frequent discounts.
  • Cons: shipping waits of several days; quality can vary by stock; aggressive add-on upsells at checkout.
  • Pricing (verified Aug 2026): standard cards from about $10 CAD for 50.
  • Best for: non-urgent orders where the lowest price matters most.

4. Staples Canada — best for walk-in convenience

Staples offers business card printing in-store and online across Canada. The draw is convenience: a location in almost every neighbourhood and same-day pickup on basic stock. Per-unit pricing is higher than dedicated printers and premium stock choices are limited.

  • Pros: walk-in locations everywhere; same-day on basic cards; one-stop for other office needs.
  • Cons: higher per-card cost; few premium stocks or finishes; limited design help.
  • Best for: a quick, convenient run of standard cards while doing other errands.

5. The UPS Store — best for last-minute walk-ins

The UPS Store is a franchise network with many Toronto locations that print basic business cards, often same day. Because each store is independently operated, pricing and turnaround vary by location.

  • Pros: many convenient locations; same-day on simple jobs; easy for last-minute needs.
  • Cons: pricing varies by franchise; limited stock and finish options; higher per-unit cost.
  • Best for: a small, urgent batch of standard cards near you.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I print business cards same day in Toronto?

Printfast offers genuine 1-hour and same-day business cards with free local pickup in Toronto. Staples and some UPS Store locations can also print basic cards same day, but with fewer stock options.

How much do business cards cost in Toronto?

Basic business cards start around $7 for 25 at Printfast and about $10–$25 for 50–100 cards at online printers like Vistaprint and Jukebox. Premium finishes such as foil or soft-touch cost more. Always confirm current pricing on the printer's site.

What is the best paper for business cards?

14pt and 16pt are the most popular weights for a sturdy, professional feel. 18pt and 18.5pt stocks are thicker and more premium, and matte lamination adds durability. Printfast offers all of these.

Are online or local print shops better for business cards?

Local shops like Printfast win when you need cards fast or want to pick them up the same day. Online printers like Vistaprint can be cheaper for non-urgent orders but add several days of shipping.
