How to make business cards?

order them from a local stationery/print shop or search online. also i've seen at some train stations, supermarkets, machines that print them for you for a few quid.

Get some blanks from Avery and print them yourself on an inkjet printer.

Go to www.vistaprint.com (like someone else said) and you can make/order them for free.

Buy blank sheets of business cards at an office supply store. They come in plain white, or nice colors with backgrounds. They also come with free templates to make the cards - you can make them in Microsoft Word, or Publisher, or other word processing program. Not difficult - very user friendly :)

I RUN A SMALL REMOVAL FIRM AND I CONSTANTLY NEED BUISNESS CARDS I HAVE TRIED PRINTING SHOPS BUT THEY CHARGE A SMALL FORTUNE TRY AND FIND A PRINTING MACHINE (THEY ARE IN MOST SUPERMARKETS TRAIN STATIONS SHOPPING MALLS ECT ECT.) IT COSTS Â£4.00 PER 50 CARDS (IN COLOUR) A LOT CHEAPER THAN PRINTING SHOPS !

i have a small business and find vistaprint good, i order a lot of business cards from them to use as marketing cards (consider using the .com site rather than .co.uk as it's much cheaper! and i have had no probs using the American site - things are shipped to the UK within a week-10 days) http://www.vistaprint.com/
also try using Avery - i have just done some labels with them which are good, you download the software onto your computer then just use the templates in word to create what you want and print onto their sheets. http://avery.co.uk/uk1/index.jsp if you contact them and ask for some free samples they will gladly send you some.

Photoshop if you want an image and to do it yourself? Or you could just go to your local print shop, explain what you want on the cards and agree on a price.

Buy PagePlus11 from Serif and print your own, you will never have to buy any more again. www,serif.co.uk

go to Vista Prints, they have some for free!

I use Avery #8873 Linen Textured Clean Edge as they don't have perforation edges, but "snap" out.

You can go to the Avery site www.avery.com download the template you like, fill in your info & print. I like to do this when I start a new business while I determine exactly what I want on my cards. When I find what I like & what works I then get professional cards made.

You can make your own using Publisher on the computer. You can do a very professional looking job, provided you print on a decent weight of card. Laminating would also give a good impression. This would work out economical because you need print only a few at a time as you need them insteading of having to have a minimum order if you went to a printer.

I use ordinary software and standard business card stationery. I keep it simple and don't get hyped at printing fancy ware. It shows I am not charging them for special printing.

You can quickly create attractive and professional business cards in two ways using Word:

Use ready-made business card templates from the Microsoft Office Online Templates Web site.
Create your own business cards from scratch with the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.
Choose the right paper
You can either have a professional printer print your business cards or you can purchase paper and print them yourself at home. For home printing, AveryÂ® is a popular do-it-yourself brand and provides standard business card paper: 2" X 3.5" cards on 8 1/2" X 11" heavyweight cardstock sheets. The tiny perforations in the sheets allow you to separate your business cards easily with professional results.

If you choose ready-made business cards from the the Microsoft Office Online Templates Web site, look for the Avery product number listed with the template. If you use the Envelope and Label feature in Word, the dialog box shows the product numbers for the Avery business card size you need.

Choose the business card paper you want from the Product number list. The Label information area to the right shows a description of each paper or label type you select.

Work with a ready-made template
If you start with a template to make your business cards, all you need to do is change the default text to match your company and contact information. In just a few minutes, you'll be ready to print your cards.
