    Sorry but can't help with your question. Just a piece of advice; before you get a thousand or so cards printed, check and double check that everything is right. You don't want to be getting your cards back with a stupid spelling error, do you?

    Depends if your looking for cheap cards or something a little bit more professional.

    I just got some cards done online by Moo.com, a friend of mine (top class guy) designed them for me and I ordered them online.

    I have seen some of their other products my pal has had done and they are great quality. The business cards are nice thick card full color and smooth matt lamination on them.

    Drop me a pm if you need the design sorted out.

    i needed cards for a sideline venture and read here about vista print -ordered thursday night at 1130pm and got 500 delivered on monday morning -
    i used one of there templates but was very pleased with the quality of the print and the card itself ,but the negative is they put a small line advert on the reverse ,so kinda takes away from the pro touch -

    will defo use them again for other promo stuff if it comes with equal quality

    Mine arrived this morning (a few days earlier than expected:) )but they didnt have that advert on the back:confused:

    They are very cheap compared to anywhere eles I've looked but you will pay more than they advertise.
    The offer I took up was 250 business cards for a fiver!!
    It cost me another 5 to upload my own logo, then VAT was added at checkout and delivery was another few quid depending on how soon I wanted them.
    Still far cheaper than any other offers I could find out there.

    I've ordered tons of things from them and have never had anything printed on them other than what I chose...

    Just got done on vistaprint.ie about an hour ago... 1000 business cards, 25flyersX3 designs, set me back €199.05. A word of warning, the price you see is not the price you pay, by the time they are done adding delivery charges, upload charges and vat it's gonna be double, at least.

    Thanks for the replys lads , I really want to stay away form vista print , I will be in an industrey that is flooded with their desgins

    I use Moo for my business cards - http://uk.moo.com/products/business-cards.html

    You have a choice of using their templates or uploading your own design.

    Very reasonable price-wise and easy-to-use website, but delivery did take over a week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Acoshla


    You can upload your own completed designs onto vistaprint, that's what I did. I'm not like campaigning for Vistaprint, but they are very fast and reasonable and like I said you can use your own design too.

    I did that too, took me the guts of five mins on photoshop... makes for a much more professional finish too imho.... i even sprung the extra few quid for a grayscale back.... If they look like that when I get them, i'm vistaprint for life! :P

    I went for one of my own images in grayscale on the back with a little bit of text in colour over it, looks very well if I do say so myself.

    Sent you a PM.

    I've used www.smileprint.ie a few times, and they've been pretty good. They sent me out a sample pack of the different laminations as well, which was handy. They also do regular 50% discounts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,222 ✭✭✭bigneacy


    eoin, is the price on that website the price you pay or is there extra hidden charges on the final price?

    If it is the final price, I kinda wish I used them instead :confused:

    Yeah, I think it was pretty accurate - though I added rounded corners to the cards which did bump up the price a little.

    If you go as far as the checkout process you should get the full price without having to pay.
