Hi,
I use VistaPrint for my business cards (paid); my wife uses Vista Print freebies for her business, since she was there first and didn't want to pay.
Next ones will probably have flash sparkly text instead of just colour printing. I'll be using East Kent Foiling for my next lot, since they do my letterheads. Not online ordering, but very good service and pricing.

Why didnt you say so before. Would have saved us pissing about taking the piss.Originally posted by Meerkat*sigh*, yes i've spent some time already on the vistaprint website but thought others might have a personal recommendation for another company. 'free' business cards in my experience tend to look 'free'.
Look, they are free right, so why not get 250 and if they look too "free" then bin em and go pay for some.
If you pay vista print you can get some nice shiney ones that don't look cheap.
The free ones aint bad.

VistaPrint business cards are fine. The only difference between the free and paid for ones seem to be that they have an advert for VistaPrint on the back. The ads are really small though, and not really noticeable. I got myco's headed paper done there too.Originally posted by Meerkat*sigh*, yes i've spent some time already on the vistaprint website but thought others might have a personal recommendation for another company.

If you cant even google up vista print by searching for "free business cards" then contracting may not be for you.
