Full-color pearl cards start at $238.20, and you can order any quantity from 25 to 1,000 per line item. Most orders are produced and shipped within 3–4 business days. Prices below are store prices. Pearl stock has a shimmer in the paper itself — it is not a coating applied on top.
Most print companies make you build a cart or fill out a quote form to see a number. Here is ours, up front. Prices are for full-color printing on both sides and include standard turnaround.
| Quantity | Pearl Sell Sheets | Per unit |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $238.20 | $9.53 |
| 50 | $265.98 | $5.32 |
| 75 | $289.83 | $3.86 |
| 100 | $369.17 | $3.69 |
| 250 | $547.80 | $2.19 |
| 500 | $666.88 | $1.33 |
| 1,000 | $1,004.33 | $1.00 |
Those are representative quantity breaks — any quantity from 25 to 1,000 per line item is orderable in the store, and the price updates live as you change the configuration. There is no order too small to take seriously and no order too large for our presses.
If you want foil stamping, spot gloss or embossing, a specialty finisher will take it further than printing on a shimmer stock does.
Pearl is the middle ground — noticeably more than standard, considerably less than a finishing pass, and available on the same schedule as the rest of your order.
First orders are backed by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee, and our mistakes — cutting, quality, color shift, delays — get fixed, period. Read the guarantee in plain English →

Most orders ship in 3–4 business days. Covered by our guarantee.
We’d rather lose an order than have a disappointed customer. Don’t order from us if:
Pearl stock is noticed in the hand before a word is read. Worth it where the piece is representing something expensive and has to survive a stack of competitors’ paper.
Shop this configuration →The shimmer does work that ink cannot. For an opening, a launch or an invitation, the stock itself signals that this one matters.
Shop this configuration →This is not a volume product. A small run of something people keep will out-perform a large run of something they do not, and the economics of premium stock reward that choice.
Shop this configuration →Here's the actual sequence when you order: your file is checked by a person before anything prints — resolution, bleed, safe zones. If something's wrong, you hear from us with a fix, not a reprint bill. Production runs on commercial presses, not office equipment. You get tracking when it ships. If a deadline is tight, we tell you whether we can hit it before you pay — we've turned down orders we couldn't deliver on time rather than take the money and miss.

Designs with open space and solid color. The shimmer comes from the paper, so it shows through lighter areas and unprinted margins. Heavy full-coverage ink smothers the effect entirely — you end up paying for a finish nobody can see.
Yes. The base sheet is not neutral white, so colors sit slightly warmer and lighter than the same file on standard stock. That is the nature of the material rather than a fault, and it is worth knowing before you match against a brand color.
The minimum is 25 and the maximum is 1,000 per line item. Any quantity in that range is orderable in the store, and per-unit cost drops as quantity rises.
Most orders are produced and shipped within 3–4 business days — your exact turnaround is confirmed on the product page before you pay.
If it's our error — improper cutting, print quality, color or print shift, or printing delays — we fix it, period. First-time retail customers are also covered by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee. Full details are on our guarantee page.
