I'm in a position where I need to print business cards. Two questions:
1) Who do you use to design business cards? Alternatively, if you design business cards, I'd definitely consider using your services
2) Who do you use to print business cards? I'm more interested in quality than price (I fully expect quality business cards to cost a pretty penny)
The best part though, is that they'll print however many designs you want, evenly distributed across however many cards you order, at no additional cost. This has led to me a/b testing my card designs:)
I order cards 50 at a time, and order 3 or 4 variations. Then, when people ask for my card, I tell them that I'm a/b testing my cards, pull out a couple, and let them choose the design they like the most. It's a great conversation point, a good way to talk about my love for user testing, and I'm gradually honing in on a design people seem to like (I'm on my third batch).
P.s. If you're a hacker (or someone else) that hasn't haven't ordered personal business cards, you should. I can't believe how many I ended up giving out, and how much easier it makes making business connections when I meet people. Well worth the 30 minutes and $27. I wish I'd done it a year sooner.
I guess I'm partially motivated by the van halen m&m's effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Halen#Contract_riders (tl;dr: they asked for a bowl of m&m's with all of the brown ones removed. The band wanted to be sure that the entire contract was read and followed, due to safety concerns, and this is a simple litmus test. Removing all the brown m&m's is a detail-oriented time consuming task)
In my context, in regulated industries, attention to detail is critical. Now, the business cards in and of themselves aren't important, but a higher quality business card at least conveys the sense that attention was paid to every detail :)
Personally I like the 260gsm Art Card + Matt Lamination (D) + Spot UV (S)(optional) best. Paper is thick and smooth. Price is not too expensive. If you are located in USA, overnightprints.com seems to print the cheapest with these quality paper. If you are in Asia, drop me a note. I can print for you. :P
