Need Business Cards Fast - Best Site?

I have run out of business cards and I need new ones in 3 days - my work takes 2 weeks using our channels!

Any good sites that are good and quick?

My boss has some cards from Vistaprint. They are nice, not sure how fast you could get them though.

Fast, go to Fedex/Kinkos. I think you can do it from their website and go over in a few hours and pick them up.

Mike, I'll be in Dallas next Wednesday and Thursday, you up for a beer/dinner? If so, send me a PM, as I might not visit this thread again.

I can send you some of my business cards to use in the interim. But your customers and the gals in my front office might not be too happy with the results.

Kinkos and you will need a VISA with a high limit...

They suck but they are fast. Possibly check an OFFICEMAX too.

Quite a few coworkers swear by Vistaprint.

I've used Vistaprint as well, but I don't know about fast. I expect there are places which can do them same day in Dallas.

We use Xpressdocs (Xpressdocs.com) and they are excellent WRT quality and customer service. They should have no problem with a 2-day or even next-day turn around (of course the shipping will cost extra).

As long as you have something to copy any copy shop/print place should be able to take care of you in a few hours... may not be cheap but it will be done.

Does anyone make their own?? The card stock is cheap, you can get matt or glossy, can add any graphic you desire, have the same professional appearance, easy to do, and available whenever you need more.

Good guys, CHEAP and stylish!

I made my last order in black on both sides. BIG mistake. You can't write on them.

Now mine are the size of two cards, folded in half. UV coated on the outside. Uncoated on the inside, lined off in 1/4" increments so that people can write notes on them if needed.

YouTube - Your business card is CRAP!

When we first started out, we did this with an inkjet printer. They sell kits which work with MS-Word. They look good, but not as good as raised ink professional ones.

I make my own too ( i'm a cheap baztard!) But I agree with Red, they dont look as classy. I used Vistaprint last year. They where pretty fast but was kinda dissapointed. Didnt exactly come out as I had designed them on their site.

You got a computer and printer? go get some heavy paper and make your own. BTDT
That'll work at least until the real ones show up.

Went to Vistaprint - perfect. Very easy and very inexpensive. I had to make up a few thousand for a trade show in a week.

Thanks for the info!
