    Please reccommend a good company to get business cards and noticeboard notices printed, good price/quality.

    Vistaprint.ie, been using them for the last year for all my business cards, brochures, postcards and posters. Register with them and they send you great discounts, my last order's original total was €150 but with the discounts I got it for €35 delivered, their "real" prices are obviously much higher than they need to be but just ignore them, either way the final prices are still very cheap.

    Www.onlineprinters.com great prices and end product is of very good quality.

    I've used both http://www.printing.ie and http://www.printing.com

    You'll find that a lot of the printers have "bundles" for people starting businesses ie. business cards + letterheads etc


    Just make sure you hire a good designer to do the actual design

    Hi there,

    I would suggest using supply.ie for your printing needs. I got 1,000 business cards with them recently at an excellent price. I got several quotes from different suppliers and the turnaround seems to be quite quick.

    logoprint.ie are great. Good service, quick reliable and will give a dig out with design if you want.

    I second vistaprint, superb and far more professional that any other printers I've used.

    I would suggest supporting your local printer, ask for recommendations in your area, as a new business owner you should understand how important this is.

    Supply.ie mentioned above looks like a good place to start.

    I do get what you're saying here and I try to support as much local people as possible but where do you draw the line? 5% difference? 25% difference?

    I would definitely suggest moo.com, very fast, very cheap, and great service.

    I would not recommend vista print, cheap but very poor quality cards, not what you want as peoples first impression as you.

    It would be worth getting something unique done by a graphic designer !

    PM me if you want me to put you in contact with someone very good and inexpensive!

    The level of service really should be the decider I suppose , not the price (within reason, obviously). When you build a relationship with a local printer/designer more often than not they will go out of their way to help you out, when you really need it.

    Actually a lot of people say this but every item I have ordered from them has been great quality, I have gotten matt and glossy business cards and both looked just as professional as any other cards I've seen, and to be honest I wouldn't have reordered frequently if they looked cheap.

    I used there Sandyford branch for years, amazing prices and best quality. I would advise you to ring them and have a chat they can do anything and the staff are very helpful. Cant understand why anyone would walk through the doors of Snap thats beside them

    I've used smileprint.ie and found them pretty good to deal with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 104 ✭✭Detour


    I've used printing.com before. I've found them to be very good. They're probably not the cheapest around, but provide very good quality cards etc. Most franchises also have pretty good designers associated with them; design is very important.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭aidan.connolly


    Hi

    I tried Printing.com in Drumcondra, and found they lacked any imagination when it came to design. They were more interested in getting paid upfront than providing the service they advertised

    Hi,
    About a month ago I printed business cards and A5 leaflets at digiprint.ie - "spot on" quality. I found them as a second cheapest place on the web in Ireland after the dublinleafletprinting.ie - which was impossible to contact at the time I was placing my order. Maybe their website functioning properly now.

    I am attaching a photo with two samples. I hope it doesn't go in contradiction with the forum's rules. If it is - dear moderators - please remove it.


    Good luck!:)

    P.S. I supplied my own design, thus I do not know if they were any good at it.

    Only used Sandyford twice use Nassau Street, Setanta Centre for cards, posters, photocopying and pop up banners and have been a customer for at least 7 years.
    Of course if you're not in Dublin then they probably aren't much good to you.
