I use Vistaprint, but wait for one of the freebies on the 'premium' version, the all the time free ones have writing on the back. Also, be very very careful not to inadvertantly click anything you don't want when you check out, a number of people have found themselves signed up for things they don't want with them. I've never had any problems, but I always triple check what I've ticked with them just in case | ||

I use vistaprint for cards. I don't mind the print on the back. I feel like I'm doing them a favour in return by letting them advertise, after all the customers aren't going to mind if they know you are keeping costs down by getting cards for free.
The service is very good. |

If you're able to produce (most of) the design yourself, you can have 250 professionally printed cards for about £40 or so. You'd need to be aware of how to produce high-res artwork for a press, but I can advise you on that. Other than that, Vistaprint are just fine.

Before you confirm anything speak to Neil at Scuba print. They are fab and will do 250 cards for £20 inc delivery!! Its is obviously more than vista but the quality is great. http://www.scubaprint.com/ Rob |

Vistaprint have always come up with the goods for me - delivered here to Spain as well - agree with Sally - wait for premium upgrades and check each stage of the process carefully. | ||

On my business cards from visit print i dont have any advertising from them (their logo). I get 250 for about £5.99, i think they may actually be £13 when not on offer, but they do the offers so frequently i never need to get them full price, sometimes you can get 500 cards for £5.99 just depends.
They do quite a lot of free stuff at times, one time i got a free pen, hat, notepad and a half price t-shirt, along with 500 cards for £5.99. Like sally i tend to double check everything before clicking the send button. |

Vistaprint fine - went with the glossy paper and it is well worthwhile! | ||

Proofread your text before handing it over to the printer (or better still, get someone else to check it as it's easier for an objective eye to spot any mistakes). I went to a business meeting recently and someone was giving out business cards on which she'd not noticed that her email address and website were given incorrectly. Really easy to overlook but what a waste of money and potential lost business. | ||
