Business cards

[MrBennett]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting some business cards and also small flyers made up for a new venture.

Who do you all use for business cards/flyers? Ideally I'm looking for a place that I could send a few JPEGs or something and get some business cards and flyers printed and then delivered to me, but I'm not too sure how these things usually work.

Any places you recommend?

No problems and a great team.

Do you have files that are not jpgs or are your jpgs very high quality??

No I haven't created any business card designs yet but that's what I'd expect to do. Is this not the usual approach?

Create design (using something like Scribus which is free) then export to .PDF or .EPS ready to send to the printers.

Does £66 sound about right for 250 A5 flyers?

That seems abit steep to me - I got 10,000 A5 flyers from printing.com last week for 99GBP, this was half price as part of their monthly offers for March, but this offer seems to come up every 2 or 3 months, these were only printed on 1 side - full colour, glossy finish.

For business cards look at goodprint.co.uk - first class service, owned by a PH'er i believe.

You may like www.moo.com - I've had business cards with a number of different images on the reverse made by them. About £40 for 250.

Different images? Are these images that you control or are they the printer's own adverts?

I see what you mean now. Looks pretty good.

I created a load of (about 12) wordclouds using www.wordle.net and saved them as pdf's and used them as the back of my business cards...took a bit of fiddling but was a good result.

Moo is great. Quality surprisingly good too.

Anyone thought of Vista print. Will do 250 free + post but quality isnt the best but okay, the quality goes up with the cost.
