Vista Print Business Cards


I'm about to order a bunch of business cards from Vistaprint.com . Has anyone ever used these guys? How did the business cards come out?

Thanks...

I have used them before.
In my opinion they are functional for the price but you can do alot better if you spend a few bucks more with www.overnightprints.com
Check it out and let us know what you think.

Something tells me that the reply above this post is originated from an employee of overnight prints. I'll just let it be since it actually is sorta on topic.

I'm confused why you would care what he thinks if your not affiliated. It's not worth arguing, I stated my case and can not be swayed.

PM or email me if you are having trouble with your account. I'll get it fixed right away.

admin [at] contractortalk.com

Thanks.

BTW, they don't look bad. I'll have to see if anyone else has used them. Vista Prints is not looking the greatest after reading their reviews on epinions.com.
I'm not looking for free cards, just good quality cards for a good price.

Re: Vista Print Business Cards


Nathan, like I said for free cards the quality is great. What do you expect for free? All the options are upgradeable. Thicker paper. Print on both sides etc... I highly recommend thicker paper, but the color quality was great. I only got the cards because they were free.

My regular business cards come from http://www.pressexprint.com/ You do the art and they print it for you. Thick stock. Glossy. Full color both sides. Qty 1000. $60. Not bad at all. I have to order more in the next few weeks.

I guess it just depends on what end of the country you are on !!!

West Coast (www.overnightprints.com) or
East Coast (www.pressexprint.com)

Grumpy, I'm interested in this as well. I am also not going to argue with or order from anyone who is unregistered.

Re: Vista Print Business Cards


http://www.flyerfaucet.com is pretty decent for printing full color cards. They can't do 1 or 2 color jobs as cheap as DCL Graphics - but Full Color they are one of the most competitive I've seen on the net.

I ordered Full Color Business Card and Postcards with Flyer Faucet last year, and they were at my doorstep in 2 days.

I haven't ordered with them in a while though....

Jim.

Re: Vista Print Business Cards


I just picked up my cards for my 3rd business. I went to the same guy that made my very first cards many years ago, it's a family business and old Herb is a little slower but the kids more than make up for him in speed and he's a great guy.
I think that I will stay with local businesses and keep my money circulating in my town. He also throws me leads that more than compensate for the prices of cards and letterhead. Will I-net do that for you?

Re: Vista Print Business Cards


I swithed over to PrintsMadeEasy.com. This is the easiest to use web site for business cards I've ever seen. My buddy told me about them and also a coupon they have for new customers. Just type FirstOrder at the checkout screen. These cards are nice! and I got them in like 3 days with regular shipping also. I got myself and 4 employes each 1000 cards for about $60 each, but the coupon knocked off like 50 bucks!

Re: Vista Print Business Cards


I use Vista print and been very happy with them. Quality is good price is good delivery is OK. As long as I go with glossy I find them very nice. The only problem I have had is they are a different shade each order. Not a big deal but it does bother me a bit.

Re: Vista Print Business Cards


I just got mine a few days ago from VistaPrint. And, as mentioned, you get what you pay for. They'll work for the first 250 I got. But, my next batch will probably be glossy and with my own logo, from some place local.

I also use http://www.printsmadeeasy.com/ we got full color glossy cards with our own logo on them. It took maybe 10 minutes to design them. Very easy interface. This is our second order with them and we will be making a third. I got to admit cheep, easy to use, and they look great.
