Subject: Best place online to purchase business cards?
Hello everyone! So what's the best place online to purchase business cards? I already have the front/back design. I just need to send it to someone to have them printed up.

Any suggestions?

THANKS!

I've been very pleased with Vistaprint.  No problems with quality or mistakes in printing.  They've also always delivered sooner than promised.

Dealing with them can be a little like dealing with Active.com, though, so you need to watch as you're checking out to make sure you don't accidentally click the wrong button and add something onto the order that you didn't want.

Staples has always worked for me. But I'd go to the store and look carefully at card stock as it's tough to choose on line without holding it in your hands.

So Vistaprint sounds good.

Hum. Card stock. How do I know what kind I want? Never thought of that!

Thanks for the replies!

another alternative is moo.com. They have a lot of nice designs.

But Vistaprint is excellent (and the site Officemax/Staples/etc send their cards through for online).

Another vote for vistaprint. They have decent templates or you can design your own.

I have used Vistaprint for band, art and work business cards.  Will be ordering multiple styles for my Metaling In Art cards in a few months.

I've had good luck with Vistaprint as well.
A word of caution: do not pay with a debit card as their site lacks security, they know it, but they deny it.
I made that mistake once.

Ah, good to know! I guess I should pay with a straight credit card?



Yeah, I had a graphic designer create my business card front/back. So I don't need to use a template.

I've used both vistaprint and moo.com. I prefer moo.com because they charge one price for printing back and front, they have fantastic cardstock (their basic cardstock is far superior to vistaprint's basic cardstock), and the colors are incredibly vibrant. The back of my cards has a photo on it and the printing is beyond expectation. I ordered a set of 100 cards and had a dozen different images on the back, and no, you're not charged extra for different images. You could print 100 different images* on the back if you wanted.

I like moo.com's stock imaging and customization better, and their shopping cart was nicer to use.

You can't beat vistaprint's pricing though, so that's something to consider. Moo.com is more expensive, but worth it, in my opinion. Good luck!

*edit - in case I wasn't clear, how do I put this? I have a dozen different cards within a single order. The front of my cards is the same, but I have 12 different backs to the cards. There we go. I think. :|

Using a regular credit card is fine.

I was lucky and saw a strange $1 charge on my debit card before it had the potential to go really bad.  Haven't had issues paying them with a credit card.

I will second Moo.com. I used images from my Flickr account to create a sort of "mini portfolio" for my cards- you can print a variety of images on the back so you get like 10 of one image, 10 of another, etc. I always always always get compliments on my cards. Their prices, speed of service, and quality really are miles above vistaprint.

Another vote for moo.com

Good quality, and, with them being in Rhode Island, we get them about 3 days after ordering when paying for the cheapest shipping. Your results in TX will obviously be different

You can also design them then take the design to Kinko's to print. They have rather nice printers and card stock.
