A great booth conversation is only as good as what the other person walks away with. Copies America prints the business cards and stationery that carry your brand out of the booth and into a prospect's wallet or desk drawer, ready to be found again when they are ready to follow up.
At a trade show, your business card is often the only thing a prospect keeps that has your direct contact information on it - not a QR code they may never scan, not a booth photo buried in their camera roll. A well-designed card with premium paper stock and a clean finish signals the same professionalism your booth and your pitch already communicated.
We print business cards, letterheads, and matching stationery as a coordinated set, so every piece your team hands out or mails after the show reflects one consistent, polished brand identity.
| Custom Designs | Tailor your business cards to reflect your brand's vision, with layout, color, and typography matched to your booth graphics and other show materials. |
| Premium Materials | Choose from a range of high-grade paper stocks and finishes - matte, gloss, soft-touch, or textured - to create a card that stands out in a stack of standard cards collected at a show. |
| Fast Turnaround | Our streamlined production process delivers business cards quickly, so a last-minute title change, new hire, or updated phone number does not delay your show prep. |
| Double-Sided Options | Use the back of the card for a QR code, a secondary contact, or a short line about your product - useful real estate that a single-sided card wastes. |
| Brand Consistency | Maintain a cohesive look across letterheads, envelopes, and notepads, so every piece of correspondence after the show reinforces the same brand your booth presented. |
| Post-Show Correspondence | Branded letterhead and envelopes give a follow-up letter or proposal a more formal, considered feel than a plain printout - useful for higher-value leads worth the extra polish. |
| Eco-Friendly Options | Choose sustainable paper stocks for your stationery to reflect environmental responsibility, an increasingly common expectation among prospects and partners alike. |
| Versatility | From a simple thank-you note to a full proposal package, select stationery weight and finish that fits the nature and formality of the correspondence. |
| Experience | Decades of printing expertise across business cards, stationery, and the full range of trade show materials your team needs for a show. |
| Customer-Centric Service | Personalized service tailored to your show timeline, whether you need a single reprint for a last-minute staff addition or a full coordinated stationery package. |
| Competitive Pricing | Affordable pricing on both small reorders and larger stationery runs, ensuring good value whether you are ordering for one show or a full year's calendar. |
| One Vendor for Everything | Order your business cards, stationery, booth signage, and giveaways from a single vendor - one point of contact, one invoice, and consistent branding across every piece. |
A common estimate is one box of 250 to 500 cards per booth staff member for a typical two- to three-day show, though this depends heavily on your booth traffic and how actively your team is exchanging cards versus scanning badges. Booths with a lead retrieval scanner may hand out fewer physical cards overall, since badge scans capture contact information without an exchange, but it is still worth carrying a healthy supply since some prospects specifically ask for a card to keep on their desk. Running out of cards mid-show looks unprepared, so we generally recommend ordering slightly more than your estimate.
A heavier stock, typically 16pt or higher, combined with a soft-touch or textured finish gives a card a noticeably more premium feel than a standard 14pt gloss card - and this tactile difference is often what a prospect remembers when sorting through a stack of cards collected at a show. Spot UV or foil accents on your logo or company name add further visual distinction if your budget allows. For most trade show applications, a 16pt soft-touch card strikes a strong balance between standing out and staying within a reasonable per-unit cost.
Yes, and we recommend it. Because Copies America can produce your business cards, letterheads, banners, and giveaway branding under one roof, we work from the same brand assets and color specifications across every piece, ensuring your card, your booth graphics, and your promotional products all present a single, consistent identity. This consistency is one of the simplest ways to make a small booth feel like a larger, more established company - disjointed branding across different pieces has the opposite effect, even when each piece individually looks fine.
Standard business card turnaround runs 2 to 3 business days once your file is finalized, which is generally too slow for an in-show reorder unless your show runs a full week. To avoid running out, we recommend ordering a buffer of at least 20 to 30 percent above your estimated need before the show, since a mid-show emergency reorder typically cannot be produced and shipped before the event ends. If you do run short during a multi-week show or a recurring show circuit, contact us and we will do everything possible to expedite a reprint for your next stop.
A QR code on the back of your card linking to your website, a scheduling page, or a digital version of your contact information is a useful addition, particularly if it gives the recipient an easy way to save your details directly to their phone contacts. That said, a QR code should supplement the printed contact information, not replace it - some prospects prefer to keep a physical card as a visual reminder, and printed text remains searchable and legible without needing a phone or app to access it. We can design a card layout that balances both.
Yes. Branded letterhead and matching envelopes give a post-show follow-up letter or proposal a more considered, professional feel than a plain printout mailed in a generic envelope - a small detail that can matter for higher-value leads where a formal proposal or thank-you letter is part of your sales process. We print letterhead, envelopes, and notepads as a coordinated set so your correspondence maintains the same brand look established at your booth and on your business cards.
Standard finishes include matte and gloss coatings applied uniformly across the card, providing a clean, professional look at a lower cost. Premium finishes include soft-touch lamination, which gives the card a velvety texture; spot UV, which adds a raised gloss accent over specific design elements like a logo; and foil stamping, which applies a metallic finish to text or graphics for a distinctive, high-end appearance. Premium finishes cost more per card but are often worth the investment for a company whose brand or offering is positioned at a higher price point, where perceived quality matters to the buying decision.
