Cheap Business Card Printing Canada 2026

Last updated: September 2026

Printfast is the best cheap business card printer in Canada for anyone who wants a low per-card price on a real print shop's stock: 12pt cards start at $6.93 for 25, 1,000 single-sided 12pt cards were listed at $27.72 on the product page when we checked, and Toronto customers collect free from the Scarborough shop instead of paying shipping. Vistaprint is the pick for the lowest advertised entry price on a first 50-card run if you can wait for delivery. Staples and The UPS Store are the walk-in options for a handful of basic cards. Jukebox Print and MOO cost more per card and belong on this list only if "cheap" still has to feel like a premium stock.

1. Printfast, best overall for cheap business cards in Canada

Printfast has printed in Toronto for 45 years and sells business cards on 12pt, 14pt, 16pt and 18.5pt stocks, plus slim, square, folded and NFC formats. The cheap end is the 12pt card. Single-sided runs were listed at $11.09 for 100 and $27.72 for 1,000 when we checked. Double-sided 14pt cards, the more common choice for a business that hands cards out every day, were $27.72 for 100 and $69.30 for 1,000. Every file gets a free 40-point artwork check, and orders placed before 1:00 pm EST Monday to Friday enter production the same day.

Pros: per-card price falls sharply from 250 cards upward; free pickup in Scarborough six days a week; same-day GTA delivery and Canada-wide shipping; 24-hour and 1-hour rush cards exist when the deadline is today.
Cons: standard production is 3–5 business days and rush costs more (25 double-sided 1-hour cards were $34.65 against $9.70 for 25 standard double-sided 12pt cards); business cards are split across several site categories, so comparing stocks takes some clicking; pickup is Scarborough only.
Best for: Canadian businesses ordering 250 to 1,000 cards who want the lowest unit cost, and GTA businesses that want to collect them.

2. Vistaprint, best for a first small run at a promotional price

Vistaprint's Canadian site advertises 50 standard business cards for $13 as its entry offer, with a long menu of stocks above that tier: matte, glossy, uncoated, soft touch, linen, pearl, cotton, kraft and painted-edge options. Everything ships; there is no counter to walk up to.

Pros: lowest advertised entry price for a first 50 cards; large template library; stock upgrades on the same order form.
Cons: the $13 offer is a promotion on the standard tier only; the checkout pushes add-ons; a shipping wait on every order.
Best for: a new business that needs 50 to 100 cards, does not need them this week, and is fine with standard stock.

3. Staples Canada, best for a walk-in anywhere in the country

Staples prints basic business cards through its in-store print counters and online, and the draw is a store in almost every Canadian city. Per-card pricing sits above dedicated print shops, and the stock and finish menu is short.

Pros: locations across Canada; in-store pickup; one stop for other office supplies.
Cons: higher per-card cost than a print shop; limited stocks; little design help at the counter.
Best for: a quick run of standard cards when a Staples is closer than a print shop.

4. The UPS Store, best for last-minute basic cards

The UPS Store franchises across Canada list business cards and stationery among their print services. Each store is independently operated, so price, stock and turnaround differ from one location to the next.

Pros: many locations; small quantities accepted; simple jobs can be quick.
Cons: no published national pricing; per-card cost is high at small quantities; few stock options.
Best for: a small, urgent batch of standard cards when the nearest option is a UPS Store.

5. Jukebox Print, best low-cost premium card

Jukebox Print is an online printer that prices in Canadian dollars and whose catalogue leans premium: soft-touch, Mohawk Superfine, Colorplan, cotton and kraft stocks, with foil and painted edges as upgrades. Its soft-touch card was listed at $39 CAD for 50 when we checked, dropping to $0.35 a card at 250. That is not cheap next to a 12pt card, but it is a low entry point for a soft-touch finish.

Pros: premium stocks from 50 cards; unit price falls fast at 250; rush production available.
Cons: not the lowest price on this list; shipped only; specialty finishes are priced for larger runs.
Best for: a business that wants a soft-touch card but only needs 50 to 250 of them.

6. MOO, best for design-led starter packs

MOO's Canadian site lists Original 16pt cards from CDN$28 for 50, with Super, Cotton and Luxe tiers above that and delivery in as few as two business days on selected products. It is the most expensive entry price in this comparison and is here as the reference point for what a cheap card is not.

Pros: fast delivery; consistent results on 16pt and heavier stock; design tools built around small runs.
Cons: highest entry price here; 50-card minimum; no Canadian pickup.
Best for: someone who needs 50 well-made cards fast and is not optimising for price.

How to keep business cards cheap

Pick 12pt or 14pt. Thicker stocks and laminations add production days as well as cost.
Order in the flat part of the price ladder. At Printfast, 250 single-sided 12pt cards were $18.02 and 1,000 were $27.72, so the extra 750 cards cost less than $10.
Skip rush unless you need it, and collect if you can. Rush is a separate product at a separate price, and free pickup removes the shipping line from a small order.

What Printfast offers

The full range is in the business card catalogue. The cheapest cards are the 12pt business cards, followed by 14pt business cards for a sturdier feel at a small step up. Slim business cards use less paper and are priced accordingly. When the deadline is today, 24-hour business cards and 1-hour business cards are separate products with their own price tables.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the cheapest business cards in Canada?

Printfast has the lowest per-card price in this comparison once you order 250 or more, with 12pt cards from $6.93 for 25 and 1,000 single-sided cards listed at $27.72 when we checked. Vistaprint's 50-for-$13 promotion is the lowest entry price for a very small first run.

How much do 500 business cards cost in Canada?

On Printfast's 12pt product pages, 500 single-sided cards were listed at $20.79 and 500 double-sided at $27.72 on September 2, 2026. Thicker stocks, lamination and rush service each raise that figure, so check the live page for your exact configuration.

Are cheap business cards worth it?

For most businesses, yes, if the design is clean and the stock is at least 12pt. A card that is handed out daily benefits from 14pt or heavier, which is still inexpensive at 250 and up. Spend on the design and the quantity before spending on finishes.

Can I get cheap business cards the same day in Toronto?

Yes, but same-day is a different price from cheap. Printfast prints 1-hour and 24-hour business cards for pickup in Scarborough or next-business-day delivery; 25 double-sided 1-hour cards were $34.65 against $9.70 for 25 standard double-sided 12pt cards when we checked.
