Business Card Printing Cost in Lagos (2026 Price Guide)
What drives card prices in Lagos — stock, finish, quantity — and how to budget without overpaying.
Business card printing cost in Lagos depends less on “a fixed price list” and more on four choices: paper stock, finish, quantity, and turnaround. Get those right and you can order confidently — without guessing or comparing apples to oranges.
Typical price ranges in Lagos (2026)
For standard 300–350gsm cards in common quantities, expect roughly:
- 100–200 cards: entry-level matte or gloss — often the most cost-efficient first order for startups
- 500–1,000 cards: better unit price; still flexible if you refresh designs often
- Premium stocks / soft-touch / spot UV: higher per pack, but stronger first impression for sales and executive teams
Always confirm whether the quote includes design, cutting, packing, and delivery. “Cheap per card” quotes sometimes exclude finishing or rush fees.
What actually changes the price
- Stock weight: thicker boards feel premium and resist bending in wallets
- Sides: single vs double-sided (most Lagos brands print both sides)
- Finish: matte, gloss, soft-touch lamination, rounded corners, foil, spot UV
- Quantity: setup cost is shared across the run — small batches cost more per piece
- Rush: same-day or next-day slots cost more when presses are booked
How to prepare artwork
Send print-ready PDF or high-res files at the correct size with 3mm bleed, CMYK colour, and critical text kept away from trim edges. If you’re unsure, ask for a free proof before press — it’s cheaper than reprinting a wrong phone number.
Tip: Order a small starter pack first if your logo or address may change. Scale to 500+ once the design is locked.
Questions to ask before you order
