I usually print business cards with my color laser printer, and create them with Microsoft Publisher Though I don't need a big number of cards with me, I think this is the best solution if you are good in design and you want that card look like just as you were thinking!

Did you know you can take your files down to Kinkos and they will print your business cards on your own stock? The quality of their printers far exceeds most at home color laser printers.
I ordered full-color cards from them: 5,000 for $91 (including $20 shipping). The quality was OUTSTANDING. Their online templates are great and the online design center (to design your own) is easy to use! I highly recommend this site if you are shopping for business cards.

Hey. I am also looking for the information. Thank you very much for sharing the information. I will look over at them.

I've used VistaPrint a few times because of some of the specials they've had. It wasn't the worst quality I've seen, but not the best either. That said, I'll probably use them again and try some of the different options they have. I haven't chosen their top of the line yet, that may make a difference.

This might be a silly question, but do you think that making your cards different is helpful? Like using rounded corners, or printing on the front and back?
Personally, all the cards that I get go into a folder with pockets designed for them, but their appearance really means very little. I know the ones that I'll want to use in the future, regardless of what they look like.

Destiny--the one I recommended is just as easy to use...and comparable price (maybe even a little less, I don't recall exactly), but the quality was like night and day. I bought the cheapest ones they sell...much more expensive looking than Vista Print. I won't go anywhere else, now.

IMO, printing front and back can be very beneficial depending on your product/service and your copy of course.

Can you expand on that, SalesGuy? What would be appropriate for the back of the card?

That would depend on your product or service. For instance, if you are a mortgage lender you could place an amortization schedule (something useful) on the back.
A general example would be including your personal mission statement on the back of your business card.
Though I don't need a big number of cards with me, I think this is the best solution if you are good in design and you want that card look like just as you were thinking!
