    I'm all for supporting local business but that doesn't mean I will pay excessively more for something of equal quality just because it is local. Obviously if the price difference was £10/£20/£30 you would probably pay that much extra just for the convenience of being able to go down and get them there and then, but paying £130 compared with £60 is a big difference when I can get them within 48 hours.

    Its hard to judge because your printer might be using a higher grade card and heavier weight, (could be 500gsm) who knows so that could be where the cost is. For paper cards though I wouldn't pay that sort of money, I only paid a little more for the same amount in plastic cards full colour, a few months ago for a client.

    Yes, they’re 500 GSM, which is probably the extra cost.

    Cards, especially in this game, are something that I can’t afford to skimp on (!)

    They are heavy weight cards and not many other printers will go that heavy weight, so I would say the cost is justified. Like I said it if they were like for like then they would be extortionate but they aren't.

  • I suggest that you call round all your local printers.
    There is a place I've been going to since I first opened my shop in 2010,
    1000 cards, full colour printed both sides, £45. and they are very good quality, shiney and thick.
    Good luck.
