Business card printing Nelson

Known as New Zealand's Sunshine Capital, Nelson is famous for its creative community, stunning coastline and thriving tourism, marine and artisan industries. A gallery owner in the arts quarter hands a card to a visiting collector; a marine business at the port passes one to a new contractor; a café owner near the waterfront tucks one into a takeaway bag. Different corners of the city, same job: a business card still has to do the talking before you get the chance to.

InkPig prints business cards for Nelson businesses on premium 350gsm and 400gsm stock, with optional gloss or matt lamination for extra protection or a more luxury finish, produced here in New Zealand rather than sent offshore, and delivered fast throughout the Nelson region.

Built for how Nelson does business

Nelson's economy blends tourism, creative industry and trades in a way few other regions do — a visitor exploring Abel Tasman National Park might pick up a card from an accommodation provider one day and a local artist's studio the next. A builder or landscaper working across the wider Nelson–Tasman area needs a card that survives a work van; a gallery or winery wants a card that reflects the craft behind the brand; a tourism operator wants something a visitor might actually keep as a memento. Our 350gsm and 400gsm stocks, with optional lamination, are chosen to cover that whole range.

We print and dispatch from right here in New Zealand, so turnaround doesn't depend on international shipping schedules. Most Nelson orders are printed and on their way within a couple of business days, ready for delivery across the city and wider region.

Choosing your card stock

350gsm business cards are our everyday stock — solid, professional, and well-suited to a card that changes hands constantly: orchard gate meetings, trade counters, wine trail events, client visits. It holds up to regular handling without curling or fraying at the edges.

400gsm premium business cards step up in thickness and rigidity, reflecting a premium brand the moment it's picked up — a natural fit for wineries, boutique retailers and professional services wanting a card that feels as considered as the business itself.

Laminated business cards add a gloss or matt finish over our 350gsm stock. Beyond the extra protection against scuffing and moisture — useful for anyone whose cards spend time in an orchard, vineyard or work van — lamination is also a simple way to lift the look of a card: gloss for a brighter, more vibrant finish, matt for a softer, more refined one.

Every order includes full colour printing, your choice of single or double-sided, and delivery anywhere in the Nelson region.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver business cards throughout Nelson?

Yes. We deliver across Nelson, Tasman and the surrounding region.

What's the difference between 350gsm and 400gsm?

350gsm is our everyday, durable stock suited to regular networking and client-facing use. 400gsm is noticeably thicker and more rigid, aimed at businesses wanting a heavier, more premium card.

Can I get my business cards laminated?

Yes. Lamination is available as a finish over our 350gsm business card stock, in either gloss or matt. It's a good option if you want extra protection for cards that get handled a lot, or if you simply want a nicer, more premium look and feel — gloss for a brighter, punchier finish, matt for a softer, more refined one. It's not currently available over our 400gsm Premium stock.

Do you offer design services?

Yes. Our design team can help if you don't already have print-ready artwork.

How long does printing and delivery take in Nelson?

Most orders are printed within 1–2 business days of your artwork being approved, with delivery following shortly after.

Can I upload my own artwork?

Absolutely. You can upload print-ready artwork directly when you order. If you need help getting your design print-ready, our design services team can assist.
