Online Business Card Comparisons

(Author's note: This article was first prepared in early 2005, so is probably out of date.)

I've recently been looking for a supplier of full color business cards, and was able to dig up a bit of information on some online suppliers. Please note, I have not yet purchased from any of these suppliers, so cannot vouch for their service or reliability. This is purely a price comparison. Prices may also change from time to time. And, of course, there may be special offers that are not reflected in these prices.

These comparisons are for full color business cards with limited variables that I have noted in the chart below. The "standard" configuration is matte finish, and artwork prepared using the online design tool (except for GFX).

Here's the chart...

Shipping costs are not included, except for special promotions.
Shipping normally varies from around for three weeks to about for 3 days.

The clear price winner for these small quantities seems to be Vistaprint. Especially when you factor in their "free" Business Card offer (see below). Here is a link directly to their site:  VistaPrint.

*Vistaprint.com also offers a FREE business card deal where you get 250 free full color cards. You still have to pay the shipping (see above). And the backs are imprinted with a Vistaprint logo. This offer does not apply to customer-supplied artwork (30 online templates only).

*Vistaprint.com also has international sites that cater directly to markets such as Canada (vistaprint.ca)

**GFX is a Canadian company. Prices are quote online in Canadian dollars, and converted to USD using current rates. GFX does not seem to have an online design tool.
