Cost of Business Cards in Muscat, Complete 2026 Guide
You need business cards in Muscat. You called three printers, got three different numbers, two of them refused to commit to a price until you sent artwork. We get it. This guide walks through what a business card actually costs in Oman in 2026, the finishes that matter, the turnaround you can realistically expect, and where the markup hides.
The real numbers
At BHD Printing & Designing, our published prices are:
- Matte 300gsm, OMR 6 per 100 cards. The everyday workhorse. Smudge-resistant, professional, no surprises.
- Soft-touch 350gsm, OMR 8 per 100. The most-requested finish in 2026. Velvety feel that signals premium without crossing into luxury.
- Luxury 450gsm with spot UV or foil, OMR 15 per 100. For CEOs, law firms, luxury brands.
- NFC tap cards, OMR 25 each. Re-programmable chip + QR backup. Tap-to-share on any modern phone.
All prices include VAT and standard finishing. No setup fee for repeat orders. No design fee if you supply print-ready artwork.
Where competitors hide the markup
Most printers in Muscat quote a base price then add line items:
- Setup or origination charge, OMR 5 to 15 on top of the base price for first-run jobs. BHD includes this in the base.
- Design fee, OMR 10 to 30 if you don't have artwork. We charge OMR 5 flat for a single-card layout.
- Cutting and finishing, often added as a separate line. We include standard cutting.
- Rush surcharge, 20 to 50% extra for same-day. We do same-day at the standard price when confirmed before 11 AM.
Turnaround in Muscat, the honest version
Standard digital print: 2 to 3 business days. Same-day available for matte and soft-touch if confirmed before 11 AM Sunday to Thursday. Hot foil and spot UV typically add 1 to 2 days because the foil dies need to be made. NFC cards: 5 to 7 days because we program each chip individually.
What to send a printer
- Logo as SVG or high-resolution PNG (300dpi minimum).
- Name, role, phone, email, address as plain text.
- Brand colour preference (HEX, RGB, or Pantone reference).
- Quantity. 100 is the minimum for digital print.
That is enough for our team to send back a digital proof within 2 hours during business hours, or within minutes if you message our AI agent Anna on WhatsApp at any hour.
Bilingual Arabic + English layouts
If you need bilingual cards, send the Arabic text in Tajawal, Cairo, or IBM Plex Sans Arabic. We never apply Latin letter-spacing to Arabic, which is the most common mistake other Muscat printers make and the reason bilingual cards look broken.
