Owning and operating a business can be a very delicate balancing act, and a big part of the reason why that is the case has to do with the fact that there would be no end to the expenses that you would have to pay for with your meager cash flow at any given point in time. The smart business owner knows that it’s always important to cut costs where possible, but suffice it to say that if these cost cutting measures come at the expense of quality, the business will only end up suffering in some way, shape or form.

It is quite common for newbie business owners to forego having Metal Cards made for their enterprises. We can definitely understand the sentiment, since business cards can be an added expense that you might rather not have to deal with. The thing is, you can’t get very far without business cards, so what you need more than anything else is a way to make them cheaper that does not result in a corresponding drop in their quality which might lead to people hesitating to take you seriously when you hand them out.

A great method that can be used in this situation is to opt for fourteen point card stock. This is basically a type of paper that is a bit on the thinner side, but not to the point where it is too thin to be used for such purposes. Sixteen point card stock is thicker and firmer but also more expensive. You can lower the costs by up to ten to fifteen percent if you use fourteen point card stock so it’s definitely worth it.
