Business Card Printing

[drivin_me_nuts]

I know, done to death!

I can't find the previous posts (and I'm in a hurry!) Can someone recommend a printer to do about 1/2000ish business cards

Cheers

Another one for Goodprint, Excellent quality and use the code forum123 for a 30% discount.

Vistaprint on the other hand not so great. Google vistaprint and another random word such as scam or even search it on Pistonheads to see what I mean

Guys, do any of these companies do cards where you have one company on one side and another on the other !!!

I've got two companies i need cards for, but i don't want two different cards. The only difference between the two companies details are the names and logos, all the contact details are the same.

Just don't want to have to pay some fancy dan £500 for business card design

Thanks

Use one of the links above, I'm positive one of the companies allows you to design a 2 sided card online.
And you won't have to pay some fancy dan a penny.

I can see how you can design a front and then add a back, but i want to design another 'fron't if you will for a different company to go on the back.

Is that possible ??

Thanks

I'm sorry to hi-jack the thread but you're all pointing to a cheap business card printer (who for the money will probably printing onto British Rail toilet paper) and then you're struggling to get both sides printed with decent artwork and wonder why?

If you do some homework and actually pay the going rate, not only will you not pay £500 for design (but expect to pay something!) but you will only pay about £50 for 500 good quality double sided cards.

Remember, it's the first item your clients see and you only have one chance to make a good impression...

Or, you could buy the cheapest and not quite get quite what you wanted!

My wants and needs don't necessitate quality business cards. In fact, since i've run my own business's, ive never ever had any business cards, which is about 7 years now !!!

I just need something decent that is quick and easy to give to people who i want to contact me. Thats about it

In which case if you're not bothered about having a quality business card (which will reflect you and your business), why not just print one company name in Times Roman with your name and phone number on one side. Then the other company name in Times Roman with your name and phone number on the reverse?

Problem solved, no design fees.

Cheap business card printer?? How very dare you!!
Printed on 400gsm with choice of matt or gloss laminated,
these are the finest cards sir!

...you make an interesting point. I paid well over £500 for the design of my stationery and took out half a dozen Trademarks for the business logos and statements to cover what I want and need. The process of design took a long time and involved a number of iterations - something that could not have been done for £99 and a lot of patience from the logo designer.

You are right, in many instances the business card is the first (and perhaps only) chance you have to make a good impression. So do it right!

Are you quite done slagging off people's business's on here and telling me how my business represents itself through the form of a business card. My business's are running very well thank you and seriously growing year and year for the past 7 years without any form of business card.

I think i know better than you how my business will represent itself. For one, i don't have clients. Im have just become bored of having to tell people phone numbers and address etc. Thats it

Seemed to have touched raw nerve there....

I'm not 'slagging' off other peoples business's you prat, I'm offering advice to someone who clearly has no clue whatsoever - quote - £500 to a designer for business cards, yeh right.

I'm not surprised you have no clients with an attitude like that.

If you don't have clients. how do you earn a living Every business has clients, it's how they work - dickhead.

Edited to say, you don't now me from Adam and I might 'just' have been able to offer advice that projected you and your business in a slightly better fashion.

I may have been in the printing industry for 20 years, and I may just know what I'm talking about.
