Is it possible to make them with software and a printer or is it more cost effective to get it done in a proper print shop?

Your business card can say a lot about you and your business so get them done properly. In my opinion (and I have heard it from a number of colleagues) getting your cards done with Vistaprint makes you and your company look cheap and nasty. Do it properly . It will not cost you much more and is an investment in you business image and brand.

It depends on what you can afford, I am thinking of doing my own with illustrator. Get some nice paper from easons and create your own template. If it works, then good, if it doesn't, I haven't exactly lost much. If my own ones are that bad then I might invest in some "professionaly" done cards.

Could you do your own do you think? Try that first, paper for 10 pack cost about 6 euro. A cartridge costs about 40 quid.

Yep Vista Print worked out just fine for me too...
Just reminded me about getting more cards!!

Vistaprint also do a nice fridge magnet .........the size of a business .......so if if your business was teake-away / restaurant they would bu useful.......

With Vistaprint you need to register and alway log-in using the link in email , where products are free.........

Watch out , though , because they charge for photo uploads , and you also pay VAT , and postage ..........as one guy above said .....order in time and go for 21 day option on delivery..

i agree to get decent cards done,i got mine today and im not happy as the lad who did them did not emboss them like i asked (reads are usually bang on though)

Would it be possible for people to post the links to the sites they're recommending (or are you allowed to put links in posts?).

Will most likely be getting a batch for myself in the near future, and will be looking for a decent quality service, so would like to research them before hand!

There are machines in some of the shopping centres which do 20 or 40 business cards for €4. You just work off a standard template. This might be the cheapest of the the cheap!

This was already mentioned :rolleyes:

If you in Dublin, I go with Dolphin Print - just off Crumlin Road. Good place open Mon to Fri and From 1 to 3 on a Saturday. I find them very good, and the Saturday opening is very handy.

Yep, we use Vistaprint too. Had a problem with print quality once, where a line printed across a set of cards we'd ordered. We contacted them, and they sent a replacement set totally free of charge, no questions asked.

I use vistaprint all the time too...

Happy Vistaprint user here too.

Vistaprint all the way, OP. IMO, don't skimp on quality, so.... pay for the premium service, get the 'heavy' card (i can't remember the term), and order 500 on a 3 week delivery time (i receive mine w/i ~4-5 days).

You can design your own bizcards, cheaply and v. professionally. Go to pixellogo.com for a logo. Decide on the ~3 colours you want to concentrate your branding on (i.e. website, collateral, presentations, ...). And write down the RGB settings somewhere safe. Pull the logo into photoshop and alter it to your liking.

As you (hopefully) start employing people, you have the whole process setup at your fingertips.

The only issue i had with Vistaprint was that one shipment of 500 bizcards had a faint blue streak across the face from top centre to right centre. Nobody I ever gave a card to noticed. But..... So I advised VP of this, and they resent another 500 that evening. I had them 2 days later.

So, I ended up spending €60 for 1,000 hi-quality cards, with professional logo under my control.

Just my personal experience....

I wouldnt go near Vistaprint either, I had signed up at one stage to their reseller service where they would deliver stuff i designed for customers. They took payment to sig up to the programme but never provided me with any information such as login details etc. Anytime I emailed them over it I never got a reply regarding the matter or a refund of my money. They dont have a direct email address and you have to use an online contact form which they never seem to respond to. While they may supply your business cards if you ever have an issue with them you can forget about it being resolved. Avoid this crowd.

If you really want to spend as little as possible on them, there are machines in shopping centres which print them. You choose a design and type in your details at the kiosk. I think they're about €8 for 50.

I'm pretty sure there's one in Tesco Merrion, but probably a lot of places have them.

TechieEddy

Went with Vistaprint aswell. Reasonable and decent quality.

As mentioned above vistaprint.ie its about 20 euro for 500 and they do the trick for me.

maybe check them out

I agree with previous poster - If business cards are worth doing, they're worth doing right as they communicate your business.

I would have them printed by a high street outlet (Snap) or if thinking slightly larger, Walsh Colour Print in Kerry do good deals on business starter packs: business cards, letterheads and compliment slips, all printed together. Any printer in Dublin could print letterheads but the costs would be prohibitive.

Mr Clonfadda

Get them done professionally. It says a lot about your business.

I think vistaprint do them for free but they do have a the vistaprint name on the back in small text...
