	   |  Business Cards  
 
			
			I saw a couple threads regarding this but they were a few years old. I want to get some high quality business cards made from a LOCAL company. Looking to deal with someone in person, not online. I work with a large number of people and we will be placing a lot of big orders through whatever company we end up going with. I don't check this forum so just PM me if you own, work for, or know of a company that would be suitable.
 Thanks!

			I had my own cards printed at Trendz Print Media near Victoria and 41st, I was quite pleased. I will be going back to them when I update my card.

			Wow thanks for the links! I'll probably just get a sample of a couple hundred for myself... upwards of 10,000 easily when we find the right place and price though. I'll go through the ones posted and let you all know who I end up going with.

 |  I've had some extremely disappointing experiences with blitzgear. Recommended them to a client who felt that they did not care whatsoever about the business.

I went and talked to madeinprint today, they were really helpful and gave me a bunch of samples. Pricing is a bit high but I like the company and product, so we'll see... If not I'll get in touch with Unico, their regular pricing is pretty competitive, and they seem willing to work out a deal.
