I can't believe how painful it is to order business cards

I can't speak for everyone (obviously there's a use case here), but every company I've ever worked at had a process for ordering your own business cards. In other words, the process wasn't handled by one person for everyone at one time, rather when a person wanted to order cards, they went to the company website and placed an order.

> InDesign templates don’t have mail merge

Uh, my 5-minutes Google says otherwise: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/indesign/articles/...

I'm not an InDesign guru, but such a professional-level tool will certainly have automation hooks -- and even if it doesn't, there are platform-specific automation programs that you can leverage.

You might want to look into Moo. They print funky business cards, and have a "Moo for business" product that promises a "simple online template": http://us.moo.com/products/business-services/

I've only used them for personal business cards, not a whole company, so I can't vouch for this particular service.

I just ordered Moo cards for my consulting business. Cheap prices, amazing experience and the packaging+presentation when I got them literally made me smile.

I'm sure their Moo for Business is just as good. Their online editor is great, and they have a ton of templates that can be modified in the browser. I'd be shocked if they didn't let businesses have a default template.

Simply don't order, I haven't used those for 10 years. It's just really outdated manner.

there'll be $50 in your next paycheck - we'd like to see a stack of businees cards at our next monthly meeting. btw here's the design template...
