Custom Business Card Printing in the UAE - Premium Stocks, Delivered to Your Door
A business card is the one piece of print most people still keep after a meeting. Whether you hand it across a table in DIFC, a stand at DWTC or a site office in Sharjah, the paper weight, the finish and the sharpness of the print get judged before anyone reads a word. We Five Advertising prints custom business cards for companies, professionals, brands and organizations across the UAE, using your design, your choice of stock and the finishing that suits the job.
You can order a straightforward 500-card run on solid matte stock, or step up to foil, soft-touch lamination, spot UV and specialty shapes. Every order gets a digital proof before printing starts, so colors, spelling and phone numbers are checked by you first. Production is in-house, which is why we can commit to a delivery window instead of an estimate.
Orders ship to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the other emirates, normally within 2–7 working days of artwork approval. If you are comparing options for professional business cards or personalized cards in the UAE, the sections below cover the card types, our process, artwork rules and the questions we hear most often.

Order your custom business cards in the UAE today. We Five Advertising delivers quality that represents your brand at every introduction.
A few things that keep your order moving without back-and-forth delays:
- Artwork: vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) print sharpest; a high-resolution PNG or JPEG (300dpi at final print size) works for straightforward logos
- Color matching: give us Pantone (PMS) references where brand colors matter we’ll match to them in the digital mockup before production
- Printable sides: both sides of the lanyard can carry full-color print at no extra cost, since sublimation dyes the whole strip
- Sampling: physical samples can be produced before a bulk run; sample cost is confirmed at quote stage and is typically credited against the full order
- Delivery: dispatch timing is confirmed once artwork is approved, not from the date the order is placed approving your mockup promptly keeps the quoted turnaround accurate
Design Support: Once your order is confirmed and paid, our design team works directly with you on mockups and revisions.

Standard Business Cards
The everyday card, and the right choice when you need professional-looking cards at the lowest price. Printed full color on 350 gsm board, single or double sided, in the common UAE size of 90 × 50 mm (other sizes on request). Matte lamination gives a flat, non-reflective surface that is easy to read and hides fingerprints. Gloss lamination is shiny and deepens colors, which works well for photo-heavy designs. Uncoated stock feels dry and natural, and takes a pen if people want to jot a note.
Price tier: Budget. Typical order: 100 to 1,000 cards.
Premium Thick-Stock Business Cards
A heavier card for people who do not want theirs to bend in a wallet. We run boards of 400 gsm and above, or bond two layers together for a stiff, solid feel. Add rounded corners or a colored core for a visible edge detail. Clients tend to pick this tier when the card is handed over in a formal setting, such as a consultancy, clinic or law office.
Price tier: Mid-range.
Luxury Business Cards
Luxury business cards in Dubai usually come down to finish, and this is where the choices pay off. Foil stamping in gold, silver or rose gold gives a mirror-like metallic logo that catches the light. Spot UV puts a glossy, slightly raised logo or pattern over a matte or soft-touch background. Embossing pushes the design up from the surface; debossing presses it in. Soft-touch lamination adds a velvety, slightly rubbery feel that people tend to run a thumb over. Real estate, wealth management, hospitality and jewelry brands order these most.
Price tier: Premium. Note: foil and spot UV need a separate artwork layer (see Artwork Guidelines below).
Specialty Business Cards
For brands that want the card itself to be the point. Options include rounded corners, die-cut shapes that follow a logo outline, slim and square formats, folded cards, and textured or colored stocks. A die-cut shape needs a cutting die made for your design, so these jobs usually sit toward the upper end of the delivery window. Tell us at the quote stage and we will confirm the timing before you commit.
Price tier: Mid-range to premium, depending on the die and stock.
Who Our Business Cards Are For
Our custom business cards are for anyone in the UAE who exchanges contact details in person: corporate teams, free-zone start-ups, schools, government bodies, event exhibitors, freelancers and established brands. The right stock depends on the setting, not the industry, so the list below says what each group usually picks.
- Corporate and free-zone companies: a uniform design for every employee, usually 350 or 400 gsm matte, ordered per person and per branch.
- Real estate, finance and legal professionals: luxury or premium thick-stock cards, often with foil, because the card is handed over in a high-value conversation.
- Government and semi-government offices: formal, bilingual English and Arabic layouts, with exact titles and department names checked carefully at proof stage.
- Schools, universities and training centers: staff and faculty cards in bulk, with a consistent crest and contact layout.
Why Choose We Five Advertising
- You see a proof before anything is printed. Every order gets a digital proof showing your exact text, layout and trim lines. Printing starts only after you approve it. For team orders, each name is proofed individually.
- The delivery window is stated, not guessed. Standard delivery is 2–7 working days from artwork approval, confirmed on your quote. Quantity, finish and delivery location move you within that range: a simple matte run lands near the short end, a foil or die-cut job nearer the long end. Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Al Ain add one to two working days.
- In-house production with 15+ years behind it. Artwork checking, printing, finishing and packing happen at our own production facility in Ajman, so a correction does not wait on a hand-off between companies. The team has been printing promotional and corporate items for more than 15 years, and business cards are one of the jobs it repeats most.
- Quotes that name the stock and the finish. Your quote lists the paper weight, the lamination type, any foil or spot UV, and the quantity as separate lines. That makes it easy to compare against other printers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah on the same specification rather than on a headline price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Where can I get business cards printed in Dubai?
You can order custom business cards in Dubai from We Five Advertising. Send your quantity, preferred finish and artwork, review a digital proof, and we deliver to your office anywhere in the city. Production is in-house in Ajman, and orders ship across the UAE.
Q2: How much do custom business cards cost in the UAE?
Price depends on quantity, paper weight, lamination and any foil, spot UV or die-cut work. Standard matte cards are the budget tier, thicker stock is mid-range, and foil or specialty shapes are premium. Larger runs lower the per-card cost. Send your specs for a quote that itemizes each line.
Q3: How long does business card printing take in the UAE?
Most orders are delivered in 2–7 working days from artwork approval. A simple matte run sits near the short end; foil, embossing and die-cut jobs take longer. Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Al Ain add one to two working days. Your quote confirms the date.
Q4: Can I get same-day business cards in Dubai?
We do not promise same-day delivery on custom-printed cards, because proofing, printing, finishing and cutting need time to be done properly. If your deadline is tight, tell us when you request the quote and we will confirm in writing what is possible before you pay.
Q5: What is the best paper and finish for professional business cards?
For most professional business cards, 350 gsm matte lamination is a reliable choice, and 400 gsm or double-layer stock feels more substantial. For luxury business cards, soft-touch lamination with gold foil or spot UV gives a more distinctive result. Choose matte for handling, gloss for bold photography.
Q6: How many business cards should I order: is 500 enough?
A run of 500 custom business cards is a common starting point for a small team or a new business, and it usually lasts a year or more at normal use. Larger runs of 1,000 reduce the per-card price. Order smaller if your title or phone number may change soon.
Q7: What file format do I need, and can you help with the design?
A print-ready PDF at 90 × 50 mm with 3 mm bleed, CMYK colors and outlined fonts is ideal, along with a vector logo. If you do not have artwork, send your logo and contact details and we will set up a layout from our templates for you to approve in the proof.
Q8: Do you deliver business cards across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman within the standard 2–7 working day window, and to Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Al Ain with one to two extra working days. Delivery is to your office, site or free-zone address.
