Vista Print - a false economy?

Ed_Stirling

Starting up a business, I needed some cards quickly and cheaply!

Enticed by offers from Vista Print, I found, customised and ordered 250 business cards for about £24. (Also paid for the non-advert version.) They arrived 11 days later...

You pays your money, you makes your choice...

Comments:
The card is rather flimsy, not the thickness of a normal, even basic card.

The print quality is good - clean and sharp. I had opted for a glossy finish which is just as well... I'm not sure that non-glossy would have cut it! (i.e., the blank back is dull and cheap looking!)

However, the big disappointment is that the size they come in is not a standard UK size being slightly wider but 5mm shorter than a typical UK card. This will look and feel out of place amongst other cards.

Of course, I should have known this or spotted this (the info is there) but then you would expect that business cars are a standard size!

Anyway, had I known this at the outset I might have gone with a different company (I'd looked at Good Print).

They will do (for now) but I will be slightly embarrassed, even apologetic giving them out! A false ecomony...

We have just paid 50.00 for 500 cards through a local printers full colour both sides on 350gsm and they designed them for me as well.

I have seen the vista print ones and didn't think much of them
