mr300s 1,272 Posted August 26, 2009 My daughter rented her own salon chair so she is going to need at least 500 maybe 1000 cards. Anyone here do it and can give me a good price shipped to Florida 33950. I have no ideas, so if you have some let me know, will be paying with paypal thanks Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberChuck 4 Posted August 26, 2009 Bill, To be honest, unless you are looking for custom, I'd run down to the local Office Depot and order some stock cards. I have found them to be fairly reasonable in their pricing. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kenya Posted August 26, 2009 Bill, I went thru Gotprint.com Choose the style that I wanted & cost me $23.25 for 500 & that included UPS shipping cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found them to be fairly reasonable in their pricing. Charlie I can get you printed cards, high gloss, thick cardstock. Office depot or Staples can't offer that. I have plenty of samples i can show you as well to back up the quality. $1,000 is under $90 from me which includes a custom design. PM me if interested. Thanks!

Guest kenya Posted August 26, 2009 I got 1000 from www.gotprint.com for around $25 and change shipped to me. Heavy black glossy card stock. FYI. Blank back Mine are glossy both sides also. I have a 2009 calender on the back side. I'm not one for dating materials, I thought "what if I get too many left over". That's not going to happen, I'm about to reorder. Best advertisement for the money . Here's next years' layout. Gotprint is so easy to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Office Depot and Staples both offer full color heavy cardstock business cards. Check out their websites. Office Depot is more expensive than you quoted and Staples is just under you.

Spyder Graphix 0 Posted August 27, 2009 We charge $55 for 1000 cards 2 sides full color uv coated and shipped. Thats with us doing the design work. But I am sure you could do them yourself for less.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john! 1 Posted August 27, 2009 I've seen customers go to office depot and staples and i have even stopped in there myself and the cards aren't quality at all. I do about 4 orders a month for customers and i have never had a complaint. A quality business card goes a long way. If you hand someone a poorly designed, flimsy card it's more likely to get thrown away. Plus, if you are a legit business, cards and all promo materials are a write off so i don't mind spending any amount of cash on my business Remember, 1-2 jobs usually pays for the whole box of cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron636r 0 Posted September 29, 2009 I have to publicly apologize to Mr300s. I am working with him on a business card order. I utilize only the best printer in Southern California for my printing business. However, for some odd reason that even they can not explain to me his order got lost and he has yet to receive his cards. I am aware he is upset and again, I do apologize for the delay.

MaderDesign 3 Posted January 5, 2010 Business cards that I do are much better quality then the places you run in and get them printed, or the places you get the $10 1000 business cards. Business cards say a lot about your business. When you hand that client some cheap 12pt Business Card that looks like it was printed from a xerox machine they look at that and don't take you as serious. A good quality 16pt business card is the first thing you should look for in thickness. Second, what makes your business card stand out from the other guy down the road doing the same thing as you? Plain cards with some info don't catch the customers high and make them want to look closer and play with the card. Different methods, die cut, foiling, spot uv, silk lamination help with setting an identity for your business and could mean you getting a call or not. I know when I get a card from a client asking to redo their card that "so and so" done, you can tell the time and effort that went into these. Sure they are cheap, but honestly, cheap isn't always the way to go. So many people now days look at the price before they do the quality of something. It's the first thing a client sees, don't you want to impress? Don't say your work will, because will you even get that far with the client? Do yourself a favor, research business cards. Look at all the different options that are available. $20 for 1000 UV coated business cards or $85 for the Silk Laminated (eggshell feel) with spot uv on the logo to make it pop. That $65 can be wrote off, and it's a great investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
