Vista print are brilliant, i am still using the free business cards, you just pay about £2.50 for delivery and get 100 cards free, and can keep re-ordering over and over.

I will eventually opt for the paid for ones to remove the (tiny) "business cards are free at vistaprint.co.uk" tagline on the back, but for now while my business is tiny, i have more important things to spend money on.

Does anybody use their magnetic car stickers? are they good?

I am using them at the moment. Obviously get the large ones. I think I got one free also!! It was a quick and cheap way to get a sign on my van. The bumper stickers are good also.

Magnetic signs are ok - design them yourself and make the type as big as you want. They don't last long though before the laminate coating falls apart in the summer sun.

one of vistaprints ideas is great-their baseball caps.  the Vista cap has a good solid strap fixing at the back so it doesnt ever work loose when i am up my ladder and the wind gusts.it also is properly made with a generous amount of cloth(its suprising how caps can be made with less cloth,they dont fit snugly then )

 i find  the cap peak is a fraction too long,sometimes hits the window frame , but that is a minor niggle .  its good at keeping the sun off,in summer !

Any printing and associated paraphanalia looks cheap if you select the cheap options offered. Select better quality paper/card etc and spend some time putting together your design and it'll look good.
Most high street printers could put together a cheap design for you if thats the criteria you work to.

What delievery time did you request on checkout Doc to get them within 10 days?  The delivery costs get a lot more expensive the quicker you request delivery.

True - mine started to go after 18 months and I replaced after two years. But at less than £20 a pair who cares?

My mistake, its actually £3.58 plus VAT for 250, not £2.50 for 100.

Select the "free cards" @ 250 quantity without gloss, one side printing with advertising on the back and 21 day delivery and you will get them within 7 - 12 days always. I have never waited more than 12 days.

As an ex printer vista print is very cheap and you get cheap print. Vista Print Business cards are rubbish. Design your own and go to a local printer, not a instant print shop.

i got 2000 business cards done 2 years ago and they really are fantastic and good quality.i think they cost me about £70 if i remember rightly.I also got a 100 free leaflets cards which are very good quality.


ive also got the van magnets which are a little on the small side (even the large size)but look professional on the van and are very cheap but again good quality IMO.

very good company and i for one will be using them for many years to come.


regards

If you buy a toilet roll and a pack of pens from Netto you can make the same " 250 free business cards " !

Also once you have left the Netto car park they will never try to contact you again !

You do the maths  ;D

have been using vistaprint for three yrs and never had a problem
with there gear.

if you find the cheap cards a bit flimsy,buy a cheap laminator
from tescos etc and laminate them works a treat they look
good and go through peoples letter boxes really easy

I use Vista print all the time,but use the premium cards,printed on both sides with logo,once got 500 free just paid the postage,good quality,allways arrive quicker than the stated postage times,never had any probs and look great,I just added as much info on the cards as I could,take no notice of the stated enter your text here and write whatever you like until satisfied,allways get emailed offers on a daily basis,would never go anywhere else,lets face it most go in the bin anyway,so why pay a fortune.
