Whether your card is cardboard, plastic, metal or fabric, a decent print job is essential to give that professional look. It's no good having a cutting edge design if nobody can read your contact details when they need to. Despite its relative simplicity, business card printing is a skilled task, one that needs to be done right to give the right impression.
Just about any surface can carry a print and from looking at business scard designs that are around right now, I think most of them have been tried, with varying degrees of success. I bought some off the internet once that cost me $10 for 500 cards. The site espoused about quality and clarity of print so I decided to give them a try. I was most disappointed when my card arrived. The printing was blurry and wasn't sharp or clear at all. The card cutting was also loose with threads sticking out of the edges of the card. Not good at all. That's what you get for getting a budget' printer to do it for you. The company was supposed to be in the US, but the box was postmarked Singapore!
Doing it Right ... Gives the Right Impression
The overall quality of a business card design, eye-catching visuals and inspired text is important. Business card printing needs to be sharp as there isn't much space to work with. Trying to squeeze all the information onto such a small space is an exercise in itself. The font needs to be large enough to be clearly read, but small enough to fit. Make sure you have title tag immediately below your business name as this tell people what your business is all about at a glance.
Because you are using the business cards to grow your business, it is important you work with a discount drugs">printer that can provide professional custom graphic design as this will reduce your cost because you are doing more than one project with them.
A home printer simply won't be able to print to the quality and finish of a professional printer. If you're using a business card design that uses materials other than card stock, you definitely aren't going to be able to print it at home.
Your card is your brand so do it properly. The better you present yourself and your business, the more people are likely to trust it and you.
