ISO inexpensive business cards

[issy]

Where do I turn when I need an answer? To the collective wisdom of this amazing group of people is the answer to that one. I am not a stamping demonstrator but need business cards printed that are inexpensive. Anyone know of a good online place? Thanks so much.

When I had some done for change of address cards almost 2 years ago, I used vistaprint.com. If you like one of their "free" card designs and can live within their text limitations, you only have to pay the $5-6 shipping for 200 cards. I thought it was a pretty good deal and the quality of the cardstock they use is good.

[cdjkssss]

Yes, definitely vistaprint.com. Once you're a customer, you'll get free offers from them constantly - almost too often!

Their free designs are a limited selection, but still quite a few. The free ones will have a one-line ad for their company on the back in small gray print - totally unobtrusive. Your choice on the free cards is whether to pay for slow, medium, or fast shipping. Take the slow - it always comes way faster than they promise. I've never had it take more than a week.

Ditto! Vistaprint.com is great. I received my 250 cards for free, just paid shipping for the slowest method and still received them in less than 2 weeks. I love my design and get compliments on them all the time.

I use them as calling cards for my hiking group, as a SAHM, and for my crafting.

I've used Vista print and been very happy with the price and results!

I just recieved some from Vista Print for FREE! Well I paid for shipping.

Vista Print Business Cards

They have some really nice business cards Templates That are FREE.

Well I was there getting Business cards I also made a purchase to get Address labels that match my business cards.

[Judyw]

Me too, I used Vistaprint and was very happy.

[Bhalperin]

Another positive experience with Vistaprint.

[michlz319]

me too!

[mrs_hawkins]

I agree with VistaPrint. I used them before and went with the free ones. They are great quality and you can't beat the price.

[MichelleSG]

My dh is a SAHD and he wanted business cards with his info on them so we went with Vista Print and he loves his cards! And yes, they were free.

[Jenmouer]

I have used Vistaprint MANY times - once you become a customer you do tend to get anout 2-3 e-mails a week - I just delete them til I need something...

I just ordered 1000 postcards for my twins club yardsale yesterday (for only $60) - and then they had a bunch of stuff for FREE so I couldn't pass that up (like sticky notes, notepads, fridge magnets, address stamp)

Note their shipping is usually pretty fast even when you choose the slowest method...last time I choose the slowest for our postcards (21 days turnaround) and they were on my doorstep in about 10 days...

another vote for VistaPrint!

[issy]

Wow, vistaprint is the hands down winner. Thank you so much ladies for taking the time out of your busy schedules to answer my question. I knew that SCS would come through. You always do Have a happy day.

Vista print will sell all the info on their customer's business cards to any and every telemarketing company they can find. Be prepared for your phone to never stop ringing! And if you put your cell# on your card... be prepared to bump up your calling plan! They are evil.

That's interesting - I've been on Vistaprint's list for over five years, and I don't find that at all. My home and cell phones are both on the national "do not call" list, though. I sometimes go days without either phone ringing at all for any reason.

I have ordered MANY times through Vistaprint...including personal business cards with my home and cell #...I personally have never had any issue with telemarketing calls at all...

[LaurieR]

Yep. Vistaprints is the way to go. I think it's 500 cards for just the price of shipping (around $5.95 I think). Mine turned out GREAT!

[letmecrop]

I've been using VistaPrint since the late 90's and I have never had my info given out. I have my name, address, home phone and cell phone listed and no calls on either from solicitors. I order from them at least twice a year.

Can't beat the price and they ship really fast.

Why not print your own business cards? It's even cheaper than any on-line business and faster too. Only takes a box of Avery (or you can go real cheap with a store brand) business cards. Design your own on your computer. You have exactly what you want and no minimum quantity to order. No restrictions on wording or space. Your the Designer!

I print my own and get better quality and no waiting for the mail. Color and or graphic printing at no extra charge.

I got mine when Office Depot had a special offer. I got 500 (free!) for $1.98 shipping. You might check into that, too.

[putri]

I never tried it but yes, VistaPrint.
I do mine at my local Office Depot.
I designed it myself and print as I need or if there's a special promo.
I've also printed on my own.
I have a nice b/w laser printer.
I designed my card in just b&w and left a right corner blank.
I used the tan card stock and stamped the right corner with one of the hand made stamp, the round one. It's still in the catalog. I just used brown but you can go any color you want.

I actually like the last option better since I am just new and not sure if I'll continue to be a demo or not. I don't feel comfortable ordering 500 cards even if it's cheap. I'd feel guilty on the amount of trees/limbs were used for my cards.

Looked really nice. I'll post a pic. when I have a time later.

I've been using Vista Print for a little over 4 years now and I haven't had any problem with Telemarketing Companies Called me.

It's really not Cheaper When you stop think about how much money you are spending on Blank Business cards. I went that way for awhile.

And I am finding out it's Cheaper to have someone else print them. Make them look more professinal. The Card is much Heavier than the Business Card Blanks from the store.


This is just my opinion.

[airbornewife]

I have used vistaprint.com for years and years.. I always choose the free cards and pay for shipping.. I use the cards to put in my ebay pages and have been doing it for nearly 8 years. They are wonderful.. one time I received my box and I could tell that it did not look like it had the full amount in it.. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement box at no charge. I wouldn't hesitate to tell someone to order from them. top notch!

[bessie126]

I used to print then stamp my own business cards. I could change the design/colors easily

AND IT GAVE ME ANOTHER EXCUSE TO STAMP!! lol

[Elissa Rene]

also try Americas Online Printer.com....they have very reasonable prices....we printed a 2 color business card with both sides printed and on glossy card stock (1200) for about 75.00....but they do have certain parameters that they have to have to use them....like certain filetypes....just check out the website..

Wow. I haven't had any trouble. Ordered my cards over a year ago and not one telemarketer call in all that time. I'm not on a don't call list because we don't receive any telemarketer calls (knock on wood that they don't start now!)
