Disappointed

I was disappointed because the cards didn't separate easily from the sheet. Several of them tore unevenly. I have used the competitive Avery product in the past with better results. In defense of this product it was rather hot with high humidity during the time I was working with the product which may have been part of the problem. The jury is still out with respect to recommending this product to a friend. Perhaps the next time I need to run off a batch of business cards it will be a cooler day. I'll defer my recommendation until then.
I make business cards for my down line use the business cards as raffle tickets and as little advertisements for customers. I have used both name brand and staple brand. I have not seen a difference in quality only price. I like saving money.
This is a good product at a good price. I like it and I use it. I keep buying more and I would recommend to everyone. I think the price could be slightly lower but overall a great product!
The scoring that allows these cards to tear apart was inconsistent. The scoring on the long edge was perfect the cards easily snapped apart after a bend in each direction. No so for the short edge. They did not want to bend in either direction and when torn apart the edges frequently were not clean. It was a last minute rush job to make some imprompto repair tickets so I had to finish with these rather than exchanging them. I have not had this problem with genuine Avery inkjet business card stock. I cannot recommend these Staples injet business cards.
Staples Ink Jet business cards allow me to create cards for every interest I have. As a President Secretary Treasurer Membership Chairman and Registrar for two historical societies I frequently need to give my contact information to inviduals intersted in those organizations. I have gotten quotes for commercially printed cards which would cost more than one package. I would also be stuck with a minimum of 250 cards of one design. It also takes two trips to printers with one for placing the order and one for picking it up. With the Staples business cards I can print a single sheet of 10 which takes up minimal room in by purse. For one organization 10 would last for a year due to quarterly meetings. If I realize I am out I simply open the Publisher file get a sheet of business card stock out and print what I need.
