4/5

posted Dec-13-2011
Ordered three sets of business cards for my business. The old saying "you get what you pay for" always applies, so I'm not extremely disappointed with the results, but hopefully next time I'll be able to afford to pay more money for cards.
I took advantage of an offer they sent in the mail and got each set of cards printed in color (black only in the back) for $17, I opted for free shipping, and they said it'll take up to 21 days, when in fact I got everything in a week.
The quality is not that great, paper is good (100lb premium) but the size of the cards is smaller than the ones I printed at home (Avery 28878). Also the edges in some of them are rough, you can tell where the blade didn't do a good clean cut. My inkjet printer at home did a better job with ink saturation, coming out a darker black and more vibrant colors. I missed having different options during ordering, like rounded edges, UV filter, etc.
I will not recommend Vistaprint for business use, unless you need something really basic, but it's a good option for home use. I will probably order my own personal cards from them as they don't need to be high quality, and for the price you can't go wrong.
In short, not bad basic business cards for an unbeatable price -with discount coupon, of course-.
