Once again Staples comes to the rescue!

Consistency always applies when dealing with Staples' products. I am brand loyal but at times money is important and you still need the product. I am appreciative that Staples offers an alternative to brand names such as Avery and whose quality is equal. We are fortunate in that Staples is very convenient to where we live with not only a stand alone building but also provided for in our major grocery store so if you forget to go to the main store the products are right there while buying groceries!
I was a little disappointed when I realized the cards I was giving to potential clients had a rough edge because of the way the paper was perforated. My last box had much cleaner edges.
I was very disappointed with these business cards. We have 2 printers in the house and the cards would not feed through either of them. I had to return the cards to the store. I finished up having to get my business cards printed in the store and they are OK but not as attractive as my original design.
I make my own business cards because I like to have cards that emphasize different aspects of my business for different markets. Running small batches also allows me to fine tune my image if I feel something could be improved on the cards. I also will make special batches for special events to hand to people so they can associate me with that meeting or conference. I've been told several times that it makes remembering who I am and how we met easier for people. I have had some alignment problems with this product that I don't remember having with the Avery brand but I can't say that it's the product rather than the software. All in all this is a terrific product that really gives me a lot of flexibility with a common marketing method.
For general use these are more than adequate. However if you want to create your own "professional" cards vs. having them professionally done I'd recommend sticking with the actual AVERY brand. But I knew this going in and think that these are the "best bang for the buck". I recommend them!
My organization was in need of tickets for an event. We were able to use these cards as our blank and print very nice tickets complete with very sharp colored graphics. Saved me a lot of time.
