Business Cards
Ivory Business Cards (Avery 5876 / 8876)
Ivory is the quiet power move of the card rack — warm off-white stock with smooth Clean Edge die-cuts that reads more stationery than printout. Avery makes it in two flavors of the same card: 5876 for laser printers, 8876 for inkjet, each 200 cards to the box. Build below and download the 10-up PDF free; it prints identically on either number.

Focus any form field on the left to see where it lands on the card. The final PDF prints 10 identical cards on one US Letter sheet (Avery 5371 and family).
For perfect Avery alignment
In your printer dialog, set Scale = 100% (Actual Size), paper = US Letter, orientation = Portrait. Do not pick “Fit to Page” or “Shrink to Fit” — those scale the sheet by a few percent and throw off the cuts. Print one test page on plain paper first and hold it up against an Avery sheet to confirm the cards line up.Compatible with Avery 5371 · 2″ × 3.5″ · 10 per sheet

Ivory stock questions
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between 5876 and 8876?
The printer, not the color. Both are matte ivory Clean Edge cards, 200 to a box on 20 sheets, two-sided printable with smooth die-cut edges. 5876 is coated for laser printers (85 lb / 231 GSM); 8876 is the inkjet version (93 lb / 254 GSM). Pick by what's on your desk — this one template prints on both.
Why choose ivory over white?
Warmth and memory. Against a stack of bright white cards, ivory reads as considered — it's the classic choice for law practices, estate planners, counselors, wedding vendors, and anyone whose brand leans traditional rather than techy. Navy and black text on ivory stock is one of the oldest combinations in printing because it works.
Will my logo colors look right on ivory?
Mostly yes, with one caveat: the stock tints everything slightly warm. Dark logos (navy, black, deep green, burgundy) look richer on ivory. Logos that depend on pure white or cool pastels shift a little cream — if your brand color is precise, print one test sheet before the batch. The builder's live preview shows a white card, so trust the test print over the screen for color.
Is ivory stock two-sided like the white Clean Edge cards?
Yes — both 5876 and 8876 print on both faces. Backs on ivory are a nice place for a single line — a tagline, license number, or appointment slot — rather than dense text, which keeps the stationery feel the stock is chosen for.
