Business Cards?

Elmo

Any good templates or rules for creating a Business card? Any body got any recommendations for printers?

Hi Elmo,

Standard business cards are 85mm x 50mm. Full colour cards with a matt laminate look really well and are inexpensive these days. Your better off just going into a printers with the info you want on it and let there designers come up with a sample or two for you..

bit of advise: Dont design up your bus card in word or publisher as designers hate this :cool: Unless its just for a rough guide...

www.vistaprint.com are a fairly good online business card site, apart from the amount of spam they'll send you. You can get super cheap cards from them.

Apart from them you could try www.slogadhsigns.com. They're the guys I use in Kerry and I find them brilliant.

I am totally agree with the commenter above me. Anyway there are many online printing companies offers really cheap and cost effective deals in printing business cards. You can contact them though Google Search.

I personally use Design2express for printing my own stationary they are online printing services provider @ very cheap rates. I like there free of cost graphic Designing and shipping services all around the world. They ship me my orders free of cost. Quality of prints is also v Good.

You can contact them though their website. There is a professional online representative available 24 hours.

Few days ago i received my new marketing person's visiting cards and they cost me $68 for 1000 quantity. The paper stock i recommend them 400 GSM card paper with gloss lamination on printed side. Their finished product was Good.

There are a few places I have bought business cards from online; Vistaprint, Moo and Printing.ie

Vistaprint is great if you want a large volume of business cards relatively cheaply. However the quality is not as high if you went with some of the other providers such as printing.ie

I got printing.ie to do 1000 cards for me and they did the artwork too all for less than 100 euro. I found the print and paper quality to be excellent and you get a professionally designed unique card instead of a just a template.

If you want the premium printing and paper quality but want to do you own design or choose from some exclusive templates then try out Moo.com, but keep in mind they are generally more expensive than both of the above. Quality and shipping was top notch from Moo when I tried them for a short run of cards I needed for a project.

If I had to choose, at the moment printing.ie would be my own personal choice but have a look at all the options.

Hi ,

I find vista print very good and reasonable.

I have not used them yet but I am considering it. You can get a different image on each card, that's why a lot of people use them I think. My current business cards are from a different company and they have 4 different pics on them, with all my other info. I don't really like them anymore, the pics are too small to see well. So I may be ordering moo cards or the ones from mpixpro - they have low minimums too.


Thanks
