Give moo.com a try - really impressed with their results recently plus a two day turn-around. You can either go down the 'design it yourself' route or use one of their stock designs.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostGot my cards back from Zazzle and less than happy, size is non standard so don't fit in a normal business card holder and the QR Code doesn't work, its just blank.
Although on the plus side I am happy with the layout and graphics, so will now take the card to a local printer and get them to make some up with an adjusted QR Code

At least you know the quality of the product you will be getting.

I've been given a couple of these USB business cards recently. But then again my client cos are all in the "Meedjah" world. I personally don't have any business card to reciprocate with.

Depends who your clients are... If it's old skool fusty besuited types then they appreciate that medium. But as MF said - they're cheap enough to get some anyway just in case it's appropriate. I use my local Kall Kwik. Cheap but you can choose from a wide variety of paper stock. I also once entertained the idea of those little CDROM 'cards' but never got around to it. Ideal for a portfolio-led business.

I wouldn't bother with that but would look to add to linked-in network JIC

I like that idea, especially if you're a techy.Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostYou can get them with 2D barcodes on the back. This is useful for iPhone users who want to scan the barcode and this will create a contact in the address book,
Agreed. Scam aside, their cards are crap. I can recommend someone I used if you want to PM.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostDon't use Vistaprint. Google Vistaprint scam.

I get mine printed extra large and in colour. The stand out better in phone boxes.
