We typically want business cards that are affordable, yet offer great quality.
Design-wise, the cards should be eye-catching.
The cards should feel hard.
Vistaprint business cards come up a bit short, unfortunately.
They are smaller than the average, standard business card.
And they feel softer. The quality won’t be what was hoped for.
The lesson learned here is you get what you pay for. That’s the bottom line.
Rather than ordering online, pay a visit to the small, local printer near where you are. They would have a line of business cards that are a good balance of quality and price.
Another advantage of visiting your local shop is you get to look at real samples and work closely with a person who understands the format and the process.
If ordering online is more convenient for you, consider using Got Print. You can look forward to cheaper prices and be satisfied with the better quality products there. A $60 job at Vistaprint can go for as low as $35 at GotPrint.
123print is another reliable online printer of business cards. The quality of their cards is great, but don’t pay the lowest prices if you want higher quality. Buy the cards which are made with better paper (again, as long as they’re not the cheapest ones) and they should turn out pretty well.
