I've been buying these cards for years and the last few packs were awful. The micro perforated sheets used to be a snap to tear apart and now it's fold back and forth, back and forth and tear apart very slowly. The edge are no longer clean, but instead fuzzy from the torn cardboard. Too bad! I guess all good things must come to an end!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're so sorry that the cards are not tearing off as cleanly as they should. We would like to make this right and look further into this issue for you. Please contact our Care Team at Avery.com/contact or call at 800-462-8379
I have been using this exact card stock to print cards for my band for years. Something changed recently about this paper, I cannot get any printer to print on it. I have 3 different color laser printers at my disposal and none of them will print this. Big waste of time and money.

We are sorry to hear you are having trouble printing. We would recommend selecting a thicker paper type such as Cardstock or Heavyweight in your printer settings to help feed the sheets. If this issue continues, please reach out to our Care Team at avery.com/contact or call us at 800-462-8379 and we would be happy to help you.
I print business cards on my own using these sheets, but the quality this time that I brought them has been really poor. The cards are very flimsy. They break along the perforation while they are being printed, so the cause the printer to jam. These card sheets used to be a better quality where they did not break when they went through the printer. No I am beginning to wonder if all other Avery products are this poor in quality. You have lost a valued customer due to this.
Cons: Cards break while printing, Flimsy, Expensive for quality, Item not as expected, Printer jammed due to broken cards, Poor Printing Quality

That is unacceptable and not the quality that we expect from our products. If possible we would appreciate it if you could contact us to send these sheets back for review. It may be possible that you received a non-genuine product depending on where the pack was purchased. You can contact us by phone at (800) GO AVERY or through chat at avery.com/contact. Apologies again for the inconvenience!
Downloaded the MS Word template and made a simple business card. Ordered the paper and after trying a few sheets realised that the temaplate does not fit the paper at all. Waste of time, not happy.

We're very sorry to hear that the print misaligned for you. The template should be designed to align on the stock but, depending on the product and the printer, there may be a few adjustments you will need to make first. Please contact us by phone at (800) GO AVERY or through chat by visiting Avery.com and using the "Help" section at the top of our site. Hopefully one of our consumer care representatives can troubleshoot this issue for you soon.
Not perforated all the way through. Cannot tear cards apart.

I just received the second 250 pack of Avery 5371 business cards that will not tear along the long lengths of the cards. Only one side of the sheet is perforated. The other side just bends and will not break free. Separation leaves VERY rough torn edges on the cards. This latest pack is date coded 21/05/16 TJ 18:53 AR-05. These sheets are not acceptable for making business cards that our business can use.
Cons: Pricey / Poor Value
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
