For small business owners and entrepreneurs, getting business cards or letterhead can be a cost that you do not want to incur. However, there are a lot of benefits that come from having your own personalized and professionally printed materials. Besides them looking more professional then printing them on your own inkjet, you can get guaranteed results that look great, support with designing the right look for your business, and add-on services for discounted prices. For example, if you get 500 business cards printed, you may be able to get 20% off of letterhead printing.
With the large amount on internet companies that offer printing services strictly through their website, what used to be a chore to get business cards printed, is all of the sudden a much easier task. Now all you need to do is upload your own graphic, select your quantity, and order. Or you can design your cards through different templates and fonts available for customization. The whole process can be done in 5 – 10 minutes easily. Then a few days later, you have your brand new business cards. For about $20 you can have 200 business cards professionally printed on glossy card stock that would have cost upwards of $50 at any local printing company or office supplies store like Staples.
There are a lot of these online printers who would love to have your 
business as a young entrepreneur. One company to check out for online printing is PsPrints.com. They have a great array of print services and products that they offer including business cards, brochures, letterhead, flyers, catalogs, CD sleeves, banners, and more. The nice thing about PsPrint is that they do offer so many services on one site. Some of their competition only offers the basic printing services that you would expect like letterhead, envelopes, and business cards.
Online printers are also great for bloggers, website owners, and affiliate marketers who do not wish to spend a bundle on offline branding and just need some small runs of business cards. I personally love using online printers because I can order in such low quantities like 50 or 100 business cards instead of if you went to print shop where the minimum order may be 250 or 500 cards.
There are a lot of options out there for online printers and services, so be sure to check them out. There are also a lot of different features and upgrades that you can have done to your print job like getting rouded corner cards, glossy cards, etc. See what the options are and go with what works best for you!
I think it will be much cheaper if you try to search for a local print shops, although I’m not sure about the quality of their designs.
For UK entrepreneurs, do check out VistaPrint, they have free offers periodically, you might just need to pay for postage fees. However, the free name cards etc. comes with a watermark, the back part of the card contains VistaPrint’s details.
