I was wondering where you go for your inexpensive business cards. I've been using Silk Cards for high end cards and have many VERY satisfied customers, but I have a new customer who wants to buy Silk Cards and a cheaper card for mass distribution at trade shows and for mailings.

I don't have a source and I'm wondering if the cheaper cards are even worth doing.

[Thanks]

Dave - I used to use the Silk Cards too, but they are VERY expensive... I switched to Gotprint.com

Very nice, full-color, high-rez cards for cheap.

I think they're out of Ohio.

A lot of good, cheap sources out there.

Edited because I spelled 'use' - sue. I really didn't sue them ... haha.

Thanks everyone. I'll check them all out.

Todd, does Gotprint.com have a silk card equivalent? Because Silk cards feel like nothing I've ever felt before, and they are almost waterproof. I feel you can't beat them for a first impression.

Dave - I don't think so - at least I don't see it.

But.... they're like $14.80 for 1,000 and they're razaor sharp clear-coated. I love them.... plus, you can write on the back, unlike Silk Cards.

I could never write on the back of a Silk Card with a pen or a pencil...and markers always smeared because of the laminate.

Gotprint cards have a really nice feel.
I get the UV coated front/plain back.
Nice price too, all but the shipping.
They are from CA, and it's almost as much to ship as it costs for 1000 cards.
For what you pay, you'd expect the shipping to be faster.
But I use them all the time.
Love....Jill

Dave,

grprint.com

1000 4/4 color 15pt with silk lamination on both sides - $35. I don't see how that's considered expensive at all. In fact, that's a few bucks cheaper than their price on the regular 1000 4/4 15pt UV coated cards.

I'll second Vistaprint...4/4 color...CHEAP prices and great quality. I always go for the upgraded heavier stock matte finish so I can write on them. I can send you a sample if you want to check it out.
