better to buy the higher-priced name bra

I usually find that Staples name products perform very well but not in the case of these cards. First the art I had created for an earlier purchase of Avery cards was a little off for this product- I had to change all the margins slightly to make it fit and ruined a couple of pages of cards before I realized this and fixed it. Then when I started snapping the cards apart instead of a clean break like the Avery ones these left crummy looking edges that took extra time to clean up and never looked really good.
Overall these Business Cards met my needs they were in stock at my local staples which was the deciding factor in my purchase. They were hard to separate as preforations weren't uniform thru out the card stock. Some of the cards snapped free the first time while others had to be worked back and forth many times before they broke free of the next card. Next time I'll plan ahead and order the Avery Cards since they are cheaper and brake apart easier. If your just doing a small amount of cards at a time you won't notice and issue but if your like me and doing all of the cards you will wish the cards were easier to separate.
Don't buy this product. Unless you enjoy Paper jams. They do not separate. Out of the 1000 I think I might have 125 usable cards. The cards are flimsy and when you remove the edges they fold up or tear in half. It took forever to even print them as every other sheet would not pick up in my printer (HP 8600) For the few dollars more go with the other brand and save yourself the headaches of this junk.
used for membership cards easy to work with tore apart cleanly would buy again and will buy again would recommend them to anyone needing business cards
