Need Business Cards?

If you’re looking for Business Cards I recommend using Vista Print.co.uk they do 250 for FREE! all you have to pay for is the postage.

If your happy using one of their 42 set designs it's free if not it's a bit extra to use your own design but still great value I found.

  • Free can work out very expensive, their quality is terrible and do you want that reputation for your organisation?

    They also print on the reverse of the card that the cards have been printed free. What sort of message does that send out about your business? Ok for a hobby business but not one that is your main source of income.

    what you can do is if you like a design that Vistaprint have, you can order these (yes bad quality), but you only pay postage. once you receive them you will have a card design you like. take one of the cards to a local printers and have them do these in good quality. This is what i did

    Hi, Well I like vistaprint. We can have our logo on pens, mugs, mouse mats etc. You just have to click through on their emails for free deals.
    Not really free as you pay postage but fine for a very small business. Maybe not for the big corporate guys of course!

    You can opt not to have the vistaprint advert on the back of your cards for a small fee, if it bothers you.

    Regards, Hunnie
  • Everybody should have business cards even if they don't have a company as such. Are we not all in business in our private individual capacities? Wheelin' and dealin'?

    Business cards, even if they say free, are still great if they're for you. It's much classier to have than not to have. Great for introductions, for stapling to documents to identify the sender, for writing brief messages on the back and leaving through someones door if you called for them and they're not in etc..

    Well put, this is money saving expert after all - big businesses won't need to use this service. For a small company like mine I think it's a great deal and the quality isn't as bad as you say but to each their own.....

    The trick also with Vistaprint is to add what your lokking to purchase into the basket, leave it in the basket for 24-48 hours and your will be bombardfed with emails offering you even lower prices for what you have in your basket.
