Business cards

Hi
I am within GTA, want to know where you guys print your business cards, I am looking for like 5-7 sets of 250 cards, nothing fancy, just simple black and white 1 side or so is fine, I can have my own design, where is the cheapest? thanks

Maybe Staples?
I've used vistaprints.com in the past, probably not the cheapest though.

Contact David at mayaland.ca

He's in TO and the quality, speed, pricing rocks.
I'm in Windsor and order from him all the time.

Take your files on a USB stick and start walking around to the print shops between richmond/yonge/spadina/college... have a set price in mind (i.e. $15/250) and just wait until one says yes. I got 1000 full colour, done in 4 hours, for $45 bucks by doing this.

Just have a target price - they don't want you walking out of their stores!

Ya , around15 per 250 is what i am looking for, because I don't need nothing fancyy,

you may want to check the ups store of all place, they were offering basic template cards (no logo just text) in my neighborhood a while back for $8 for 250. I opted to upgrade to my own logo/design and got 500 for $35 including taxes.

I thought that was a decent price. Good luck!

VistaPrint has a "just pay the shipping" special, advertised elsewhere on RFD (http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/alldeals/comments/small_business_get_personalized_business_cards_sti cky_notes_more_for_free_j).

I paid $13.34 CDN (includes taxes and shipping) for 250 cards, printed on the standard card stock, with a matte finish, and could upload my own design.

I only ordered one set of 250 cards; I'm not sure if it's possible to do multiple orders.

The quality was better than I had expected, although they offer full bleeds, so they trim 1/32nd of an inch off of each side. As a result, their cards are about 1/16th of an inch narrower and shorter than the standard 3.5"x2" business card.

If you order from them, choose the slowest (and cheapest) delivery option. I picked the three-week shipping option, yet my cards arrived in about four days.

i use vistaprint.com not .ca because i've been offered free premium business cards often with the american site vs canadian. this is how you get their premium business cards for free (the one where the back of the card does not have their advertising). Sign up with them and they'll email you practically every day free business premium cards, free magnetic business cards, etc.

Shipping (2 weeks) costs $10 or less.
You get 250 business cards.
Can upload own design.
Very quick and easy process.
They accept paypal!
