Archivist Business Cards

When you hand a card to a researcher, a donor, or a colleague at a conference, that slip of stock is the first tangible record of who you are. Archivists and records managers work with documents every day. So the card they hand out should feel as durable and trustworthy as the collections they protect.

We print on thick 16pt Premium Matte stock so each card feels substantial in the hand. No flimsy, bendable slips. Our free design setup and digital email proof mean you get a card that fits the profession without paying a designer. State-of-the-art digital presses and in-house design make it simple.

Send a logo, institutional colors, and your contact details. Our designers build the layout at no extra cost. Need a QR code to your finding aid or digital repository? We add that in free design. Revisions are free until the proof looks right.

We use AI tools to speed layout and proofing. Human hands still check every order. So when the box arrives, what you see is what we promised.

Hand a card to a researcher after a reference interview. Leave one with a donor when they drop off a collection. Swap cards at SAA, regional archives conferences, or library meetups. Put a stack by the reading room sign-in so visitors know who to contact.

• Reference desk handouts when researchers need a follow-up contact
• Donor meetings and acquisition visits so donors have a direct line
• Conference and workshop networking at SAA, ALA, and regional groups
• Included in orientation packets for new staff and interns
• Leave-behinds after outreach talks at schools and community groups

Many archivists order 1000 Archivist Business Cards so they never run out before a busy semester or conference season. We keep the approved file on hand for reorders so a repeat order is one click away when the desk runs low.

Same thick 16pt Premium Matte stock whether you order once or reorder often. The standard size every archivist expects is 2x3.5", and we deliver exactly that with no surprises.

Thin cards bend and look cheap. Ours are 16pt thick so they sit straight in a holder and feel substantial in the hand. Matte coating resists glare and is easy to write on.

For archivists and librarians, we hardly recommend matte. It reads well under library light and stays professional. The thick, stiff feel and calm finish make the difference when you hand a card to a researcher or donor.

Repository teams can order in bulk and split the cost. Bulk Business Cards for Archivist are a popular choice for multi-person repositories and solo professionals who want to stock up. We can print the same design with different names and contact details, or one design for the whole team so the institution brand stays consistent.

Tiered pricing: the more you order, the lower the per-card price. So 500 cards cost less per unit than 250, and 1,000 costs less than 500. No hidden setup fees. The price shown includes design help and proof. It is that simple.

Bleed means the design can print all the way to the edge with no white border. We need a small extra margin in the file so we can trim clean. Our team can add bleed if the file does not have it. Safe zone is where text and logos stay clear of the cut line. We guide customers so nothing gets clipped.

We print in CMYK so colors on screen may look slightly different on paper. Our presses are calibrated so institutional colors stay true. For a specific brand color, send the code and we will match it as close as the stock allows. Matte softens shine; the result is professional and easy to read.
