Business Cards - Don’t order in bulk

July 25th, 2008

Have you ever ordered large quantities of business cards, only to have them go to waste because your mobile number or some other detail has changed?

Traditional printing techniques meant that cards were often ordered by the 1000’s.  However, with digital technology you can order just 100 business cards.  And with our 48 hour turnaround you can order then just as you are running out.  That way very few of your business cards will go to waste as you order them when you need them with your current details.

Business card artwork

July 10th, 2008

Unless you have a particular arrangement with a particular printer, NEVER try to be helpful by supplying artwork for business cards - or any other items - in any form other than one-up on a page.

All printers will have their own system for laying up to the best fit on the printed sheet (imposition), and any effort you put into doing for your printer will almost certainly result in more work needed to undo your efforts and make the artwork usable.

If in any doubt - consult your print provider. He/she will never mind being asked by you how you can make the job go better; but if you impose the artwork without asking you are only going to make the job harder to do.

Free Business Cards

July 7th, 2008

Beware of any printer offering free business cards. Remember if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Free business cards come at a price. Generally poor quality, long delivery times, and heap load of junk into your in box.
Often printed outside of the UK these cards are usually European size of 90 x 50mm which may not fit into pre existing card cases and business card slots and are hopelessly thin.
Your card is usually your first impression, make sure you make it count.

Business cards that mean business

July 4th, 2008

Your choice of clothes will make an impression on the people you meet, and this is the same with your business card.

The design and quality of your card will give them an impression of how competant and professional you are. It is now easier and cheaper than ever to give that good impression by using our online tools to create that perfect card, and here at everydayprint we only use the highest quality card.

How Thick Should a Business Card Be

June 30th, 2008

There are many useful sites giving details on business card printing. However none seem to give details on the thickness of the cards.
business cards should be printed on card no lower in weight than 350gsm. The weight of the card is often how the quality is measured so it is really important to get this right.
Beware of the websites giving away business cards for next to nothing as what you will find is a totally inadequate thin card giving you a cheap and inadequate marketing tool. This is your first impression, so make it count!
Everydayprint offer 350gsm business cards as standard but you can further increase the quality of your card by either matt or gloss lamination for a couple of pence more per card.
