GoodPrint do quantity cards, nice stiff card stock. I've had some from VistaPrint in the past that felt like they were printed on tissue paper ( and if you go for the free ones they say Printed For Free At Vistaprint on the reverse which doesn't give a great impression)

I had my card designed by a pro and it only cost £50. Ended up with something I love and way better than anything I could do on my own or via an online card designer at VistaPrint.

Cheers mate, where do you find pro's to do it ?

Perhaps we should have a american psycho style business card show off ;)

I've used professionals for (non magic) business cards in the past and the quality is so much better.

There are plenty about.

Are there real shops that do it or online ?

Is it the places that do the copies and printing stuff ?

Real shops, mate - imagine that - somewhere you can go and talk to real life people!

Usually printers do leaflets, posters, etc so yeah, high street printers will be fine.

I should also advise that you should see examples, and then get a proof done before you commit to a large batch.

Last thing you need is a load of shoddy cards with the wrong details on!
