I just orered from fedex office. prices seemed right and the options were clear as to what you were paying for. They should be at my house in a few days so I will report back to you on how they turned out.

nextdayflyers.com I've printed with them on a number of projects and recommend them to all my design clients. I have never gotten bad results and the prices on business cards and postcards are astounding.

Prices seemed right? I looked at their business card prices once and was shocked at how high they were.

The site I gave a link to a couple of responses ago will ship 1000 double sided coated card, allow you to upload the image for both sides - both sides color for just $25, including shipping. Where Kinkos/FedEx is something like $40 for 200 cards.

Moo all the way! I love my moo.com business cards and everyone I give one to raves about them.

Honestly, www.overnightprints.co​m (external link) is the company I use for all of my full color advertising. I've worked in the print industry for going on 8 years, and while I have some concerns about their printing methods and density levels it's really hard to beat their service and price.

I've pushed over $10k in business through them over the past 8 years (both for print adverising and photography advertising) and I've had good success overall. There have been some issues, but they have great customer service and will quickly reprint and ship the new job post-haste.

www.overnightprints.co​m (external link) has always been the best by far for me not too mention one of the cheapest. Their cards are very thick and have a professional feel.

Extremely disappointed with the quality of cards I got from Vista Print. Terrible. I wasted $50. This was after upgrading to their higher quality 100lb paper. Flimsy, crap cards that look like they came out of an ink jet printer.

Waste of $50.. Hopefully they burn well, might be useful as kindling.

I'm going to try Moo next.

Overnight prints are really good. If you want the raised ink feel I am not sure they can do that. The UV coated one really are good. Check card thickness between brands.

Overnight Prints uses a 15pt. C2S stock - which is extremely thick. When someone holds your card, the first thing they will think of is "wow, this is a solid business card" - it's a small thing, but a great first impression.

Moo gives the alternative of having your customer's first impression be one of "woah - that's wicked awesome. I can PICK a business card??" and it certainly scores points for assumed creativity.
