This is easily the best option, especially if you already have the design ready to go. My dad used to run a print shop and he had all the card styles (paper, printing style) available to view and touch which can make a world of difference when deciding.
The only reason I could see wanting cards from one of these online companies is if you only want a small amount of cards as it is usually better for local print shops to run larger batches on the presses. (But even then you will probably be able to get 500 cards for something like 50 dollars on a minimum run)
- jasonlotito 16y agoThe benefit to a local print shop isn't in the initial price of the cards. It's in the follow through and printing needs after business cards. Most print shops don't make money off business cards. The cards barely pay for the cost of the material and time involved. It's a cut throat business. However, you get your business cards, and when you have additional printing needs, returning to them gets you better results (especially if you paid on time). The printers I know (several of them, in fact) all cherish customers who pay on time and will bend over backwards for them. It also becomes easier going back to them. They have material already, and can usually get what you need faster.
