Little Black Book: GoodPrint.com




Who:
GoodPrint.com

What: Upload your own design or use a GoodPrint.com template to create business cards, comp cards, letterheads, compliment slips, labels and invitations.

Where: Online in the UK, Germany, Netherlands and International shipping available.

Why: I have been getting my business cards printed at GoodPrint.com for the past couple of years and have never been disappointed with the service or quality received.

GoodPrint.com have so many templates to chose from so you are sure to find something to suit your business and your style. Templates can be easily edited to customise cards or you can even upload your own design. By uploading your own pictures and text to a postcard template you could also create comp cards.

I have been suckered into the VistaPrint.co.uk freebies but was really unimpressed by the quality of the printing and card stock. I kicked myself for thinking I could get something for nothing and swiftly reordered with GoodPrint.com.

They often have special offers so I can usually time my reorders to coincide with a 50% deal but even at full price I think they are reasonably priced. They have simple cards starting at around £9 but your looking at a starting price of £15 if you want to customise or upload your design.

I really like the thickness of the card (400gsm) plus the colours and print have always been crisp and clear with the standard card. Lamination, rounded corners and various card options are available such as recycled, textured and gold shimmer but I am happy with the standard cards I order so haven't felt the need to spend more on these added features.

You can order anything from 50 to 20000 cards although I tend to order small quantities so if i need to tweak the design or change any of the information I'm not stuck with lots of cards I cant use.

Standard delivery is 5 days and I have always received within this time frame but if the order is urgent there are other postage options to chose from.

  1. The past few batches I've order I've got my cards from moo.com

    I like their mini-cards as I think they're quite stylish and memorable - people always comment on them when I hand them out!

    The mini cards are only £9.99 for 100 and you can upload your own images for them (as many as 100 different images) too.

    I have also bought the regular business cards from these guys too and they're fab as well £10.99 for 50. With these you can upload images for the front and the back if you want.

    Shall definitely be taking a look at GoodPrint as well though to see what they have to offer.

  3. Moo looks like a cool company. I like the idea that you can use different pics in the same batch so you could have different cards for different clients like some for bridal, some fashion ect...

  5. An all-American across the lake reading this website called "whattheprosdo.com." I find it very interesting and very helpful for a few of the most basic and practical things in life. I am excited to look at the business cards since I recently am in the job market, and I have never really had a business card I was excited to give out. Thanks for the great info. on your website. Yes, I am a male and still the info. was very helpful. The two sexes have much more in common than we ever hear or read about about. One great thing about good, simple, pleasing to-the-eye websites is you never know who might be stopping by for a read, and pass the site on to their buds and family.

    God Bless and again, THANK YOU!
