About RIP Card
Custom RIP Cards with Perforation for Maximum Impact
RIP cards—also known as tear off business cards or perforated business cards—are a powerful tool for direct marketing, customer engagement, and brand recall. Designed with a detachable section, these cards combine promotional messaging with a practical call-to-action such as a coupon, appointment reminder, or business card. Whether you're handing them out at events or slipping them into packages, rip business cards deliver lasting value in a compact format.
- Perfect blend of promotion and functionality with tear-off sections
- Ideal for coupons, business cards, appointment slips, and vouchers
- Works perfectly with custom wrapping paper as branded inserts
- Durable cardstock with optional UV coating for premium feel
- Enhances traditional flyer marketing when paired with high-impact flyers
Affordable, Effective Marketing with Tear-Off Cards
In the competitive B2B space, every marketing dollar counts. Tear off cards offer a cost-effective solution that combines physical engagement with practical utility. Their dual-purpose nature—part promotional, part functional—makes them more likely to be kept, used, and remembered by recipients.
Unlike digital ads or throwaway flyers, these tear off business cards drive real-world interaction. Whether used to offer time-sensitive discounts or simply to share your contact info, they give your brand a lasting presence. When ordered in bulk, they’re extremely affordable, making them ideal for scalable marketing campaigns.
Plus, their adaptability means you can align them with other formats like calendars or packaging for seasonal promos or campaigns. Need to coordinate your promotions across channels? Pair your RIP cards with our custom business calendars to stay top-of-mind all year long.

Smart & Affordable: How to Print High-Quality RIP Cards on a Budget
Cost-Efficient Printing Without Compromising on Quality
- Choose standard sizes to save on setup costs: Opting for common formats like 3.5” x 8.5” or 3.5” x 11” helps reduce custom cutting fees. These sizes are optimized for most commercial printers and minimize paper waste.
- Print in bulk to lower per-unit prices: Large volume orders significantly reduce the cost per piece. If you're planning multiple campaigns, ordering in one batch can save both time and money.
- Use coated cardstock for a premium look at low cost: Gloss or matte-coated paper gives a professional finish without the need for expensive specialty stocks. It also enhances durability, which adds value to your marketing.
- Stick to standard ink colors or CMYK: Avoid spot colors or Pantone inks unless necessary. Standard 4-color process (CMYK) printing delivers vibrant results and is far more cost-effective.
Design & Function Tips to Maximize Impact
- Keep the tear-off section purposeful: Use the perforated area for something of real value—like a coupon, loyalty punch card, or mini calendar. This increases the chances of it being retained and reused.
- Ensure clean perforation for easy use: Work with a printer that offers high-precision die-cutting. Clean tearing improves user experience and prevents the card from being thrown away due to frustration.
- Use bold calls-to-action near the tear line: Highlight what the recipient should do with the tear-off—"Bring this in for 10% off" or "Save this date." Clear messaging boosts engagement.
- Include essential info on both parts: Don’t forget that the card might be separated. Make sure both sections include at least your logo or contact info for continued brand visibility.
Additional Pro Tips for Ordering RIP Cards
- Request a print proof before full production: A digital proof ensures everything looks right—layout, bleed, perforation line, and colors. It’s a small step that can prevent costly reprints.
- Coordinate with other marketing materials: Align RIP card visuals with your flyers, door hangers, or packaging for a unified brand message. This enhances recall and professional perception.
- Avoid cluttered designs: Less is more—especially with small formats. Focus on one clear offer or message to avoid confusing or overwhelming the recipient.
- Ask about recycled options for eco-conscious branding: Many printers offer recycled or FSC-certified stocks. These provide sustainability benefits without sacrificing print quality—and they appeal to modern consumers.
