LF: Business Cards (QUICK & CHEAP?) *HELP!*

[newt_101]

I'm leaving the country on Tuesday and wanted to get about 250 business cards made quickly.

Nothing fancy; just a clean and simple design.
Something that would display my name, city, country, email and website.

I'll be backpacking around the world and think it would be a great idea to give cards to people that I meet along the way to keep in touch and get to know more about them and vice versa.

I live in the GTA, so it's basically a few business days to get this done.

If this is NOT a viable option, then perhaps a place that will let me easily design a business card online for free and then I could buy quality paper and print them out on laser printer at work. I do not have graphic design skills though, so something that would do most of the job for me.

Thanks a lot!

vistaprint.ca

not sure how long their turnaround is though.

Thanks.
I'm familiar with that site, but I need one that would give the cards to be very quickly, Tuesday at the latest.

Thoughts please?

You could try http://www.businesscardstoday.net/ ... They're in Calgary, but might be able to get it to you fast enough.

Have you dropped by your local Staples store? That might be another option.

I think Staples sends theirs out, and it takes some time.

What about printing them yourself? I use these (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=494303&affixedcode=WW)when I want to do proofs of cards, but there is no reason why you couldn't print a whole whack of them. There are cheaper ones available as well.

there must be a local copy shop that can do it.
i got 1000 business cards done a few months ago up in barrie, went in at 4pm, picked them up at 9am the next morning.

Try Kinkos. I heard they are a lot cheaper than Staples.
