Avery Printable Business Cards 2 in x 3.5 in - Clean, Custom Prints

In this review the Avery Printable Business Cards prove to be a practical choice for small business owners, freelancers, and event organizers who want professional-feeling cards produced at home. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of thick white cardstock and Avery's Sure Feed technology, which together produce crisp, smudge-free prints with fewer jams and better alignment than generic card sheets. Printing is straightforward on most inkjet printers and the finished 2 in x 3.5 in cards have a substantial hand-feel that elevates DIY cards above standard paper flats.

Key Features

• Quality Cardstock: The 80 lb / 216 gsm white cardstock provides a sturdy, professional feel that holds ink without warping.
• Sure Feed Technology: Integrated feeding features reduce misalignments and paper jams so printed details land where they should.
• Smooth, Clean Edges: Multiple precise cuts mean cards separate cleanly with a consistent border that maintains a polished look.
• Crisp, Smudge-Free Printing: Optimized for inkjet printers to deliver clear text and graphics with minimal smearing after printing.
• Customization Templates: Use Avery Design & Print templates to create two-sided designs, logos, or appointment cards from home.

Who It's For

This product is best suited for small business owners, makers, and independent professionals who need low-cost, high-quality business cards they can design and print in small batches. The weight and finish make these cards a step up from regular paper and good for in-person handouts, appointments, and loyalty cards.

Those who require ultra-fine die cuts, pre-perforated tear-off sections, or specialty coatings such as UV or heavy laminates should look elsewhere; these sheets are intended for inkjet customization and perform best within that use case.
