About 4by6.com
We've been making printing easier since the dot-com era.
4by6 launched in January 2000 in the San Francisco Bay Area with a simple but radical idea: what if graphic designers could order business cards entirely online — upload files, review a proof, approve, and check out in a single visit?
Before 4by6, that process meant mailing physical proofs back and forth. More time. More money. More friction. We cut all of that out.
It worked. Word spread fast — from San Francisco to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and beyond. The creative community found us, and we found our people.
We launched with one paper: Satin. It was so good, we never stopped leading with it. Satin business cards became part of our reputation — whispered between designers, recommended in studios, and trusted by creatives who care about quality.
Twenty-five years later, we're still here. Still obsessed with making printing easier, faster, and better for the people who care most about how things look.
