Business Card Printing
Your business card is often the first physical impression you make. At Somerset Printing, we produce business cards that genuinely represent your brand — not generic, off-the-shelf results, but carefully printed cards that hold up to real-world use and make people want to keep them.
Based in Highbridge, we serve businesses across Somerset including Burnham-on-Sea, Bridgwater, and the wider South West. Whether you need 50 cards for a new venture or 5,000 for a growing team, we handle short and long runs alike with the same attention to detail.
We print on a range of substrates from standard 400gsm silk and gloss to premium options including soft-touch laminate, matt velvet, and uncoated natural stocks. Finishing options such as spot UV, foiling, and rounded corners are available on request and can transform a standard card into something genuinely memorable.
If you supply ready artwork, we'll check it for print-readiness before going to press. No artwork yet? Our graphic design team can create something from scratch — just tell us what you do and who you want to impress. We'll handle the rest.
All enquiries are responded to within 24 hours. Get in touch via our contact form or give us a call to talk through your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What file format do you need for artwork?
We prefer print-ready PDF files at 300dpi with 3mm bleed and crop marks. We also accept Adobe Illustrator (.ai) and Photoshop (.psd) files. If you're unsure, send us what you have and we'll advise.
Can you design my business cards for me?
Yes. Our design team can create a business card layout from scratch or adapt your existing branding. Design is quoted separately — contact us for a design brief.
Do you do same-day or next-day business cards?
Express turnarounds are sometimes possible depending on our current schedule. Call us to check availability before placing an urgent order.
What's the minimum order quantity?
We can print from 50 cards, though unit costs improve significantly at 250 and above. We'll always tell you the most cost-effective run for your needs.
Can I get a physical proof before the full run?
A hard-copy proof can be arranged on request, particularly for premium finishes. This may add a day or two to the turnaround.
