    If you like i can try whip something up for you and your son at no cost.
    Im not guaranteeing itl be complete by today but im sure i could get some design done within next 24 hours.

    Drop me a private message with the following:

    -Individual's Name and/or Business Name
    -Individual's Title or some other descriptive text to indicate what the person does if it's not obvious from the business name
    -A way (preferrably multiple ways) to contact the person — could be phone, fax, email, web page, mailing address, street address, etc.
    -Tell me what colors and style you'd like?

    Paddy H, thanks for the offer but as I understand what he will be doing is a number of different things and will need cards for each different enterprise so software would be the best option, but many thanks for the offer

    Open Office/Libre Office? But if he has 'no money', how's he going to pay to get these cards printed?

    print on my printer buy cards from tesco
  • You thought about vistaprint? They offer a selection of "free" cards, just pay postage. Might work out cheaper than the cardstock you'd need to buy to print your own on

    If your son want's a a few hundred printed at a time then yes something like vistaprint is the best option.

    However if just 30 or so at a time then yes print your own is better.

    https://www.avery.co.uk offer 2 options, design online and print on your inkjet printer, or you can download there Software Avery DesignPro Light for PC, has quite a few business card template's.

    As for the card stock, most pound shops or the Works will have packs of 80 or cards to print on for a £1 or £2. If you have access to a laser to print them, even better.
