For my online company I choose FedEx Their customer service was a little vague on pricing but most was spelled out on their website. Their minimum number for printing online was only 250 business card, however they did offer two color print options. Two Color Print: The price for a two color print was $19.99 on standard paper. Other prices were $29.99 for premium matte or gloss. To print on both sides adds an additional $20 to the price, while a blank backside is free. Pricing for a two color print at the regular price of $19.99 at 250 would be eight cents a card. If you add in just the premium matte or gloss finish the price per card would be twelve cents per card. If you keep the regular paper in add in the printed back the cost per card would be sixteen cents. Lastly, if you had premium matte or gloss along with a printed back the cost per card would be twenty cents per card.
Five Color Print: The price for a five color print was $9.99 on standard paper. For premium matte and gloss the price was $19.99. To print on both sides adds an additional $20 to the price, while a blank backside remains free.
Pricing for a five color print at the sale price of $9.99 at 250 cards would be four cents a card. To add in the premium matte or gloss finish the price per card would be eight cents. To add in a printed backside the cost per card would be twelve cents. To have a premium finish and a printed backside would cost sixteen cents per card. The represented on the phone did suggest ESO paper for the print for either two color or five color. The current discounts were centered towards their five color cards. This discount was $20 off the original price and was effective on all paper choices, premium matte, gloss, etc...
For my local company I choose PostNet located in Charleston Phone number: 304 344 8108 As with FedEx their minimum number to print was 250 on five color print (which they referred to as full color), however, on a two color print it was 500.
Two Color Print:
The price for a two color print with a 500 print total was $40.00. This was one sided and was not offered with a backside option for print or a glossy finish. The paper was a bright white 80 pound cardstock paper. The price to print these per card would be eight cents. Five Color Print:
The price for a five color print with a 250 print total was $29.00 one sided and $40.00 for a backside print option. The paper was uv-protectant glossy with no other choices. The price per card to print with the one sided option would be twelve cents. It would cost sixteen cents per card to print with a backside option.
There were no current discounts and the shipping fee to Buckhannon depended on the weight of the shipment (250 versus 500 cards for example.) They had sample card in store but nothing they could ship to the college. Shipping fee Discounts: no
From my findings between the two companies, it really depends what you are looking for. If you are only looking to buy 50 business cards, us.moo.com is the cheapest between my companies.
MOO allows the customer to print 50 business cards, single or double sided, full color, matte finish, for only $19.99.
However, Cutting edge designs in Pittsburgh is better priced if you are looking for a higher number of cards. Their price for 100 cards is roughly 10 dollars cheaper than that of MOO. Cutting edge offers 100, 2x3.5 inch business cards on extra heavy card stock, uv gloss, with matte finish for $30.00.
My online company is PsPrint. Their only color options were "full color" or "black," and their default paper type is "14 pt. C25 Gloss Cover." They're offering a 40% discount, but it ends Tuesday. Each of these options has a 2-sided UV coating.
-Full color 2-sided, 50 count = $32.36 ($19.42), or $0.39 per card -Full color front/black-only back, 50 count = $30.36 ($18.22), or $0.36 per card -Full color front/blank back, 50 count = $25.36 ($15.22), or $0.30 per card -Full color 2-sided, 100 count = $45.11 ($27.07), or $0.27 per card -Full color front/black-only back, 100 count = $43.11 ($25.87), or $0.26 per card -Full color front/blank back, 100 count = $38.11 ($22.87), or $0.23 per card -Full color 2-sided, 250 count = $70.60 ($42.36), or $0.17 per card -Full color front/black-only back, 250 count = $68.60 ($41.16), or $0.17 per card -Full color front/blank back, 250 count = $63.60 ($38.16), or $0.15 per card
For my local company I chose Quillco Business Printing, which its located in Franklin, TN outside of Nashville. I liked how the company showed the various prices of business cards. Better than the other local companies which I had to email them what I wanted for my quote on my business card. But there wasn't a whole lot of options from Quillco. They only had pricing for the 5 color options. But it gave me what I was looking for. 5 color One sided: 250 cards- $30 500 Cards- $35 1000 cards- $45
For my online company I chose Vistaprint the stats are as follows: I used a matte base for all of the pricing. All standard shipping was free The smallest number of possible prints was 250, so i did a progression of 250, 500, and 1000, There was no single black and white color available but rather a 4/0 ratio of color from front to back and a 4/4 ratio these are the quotes I used For printing on a single side the corresponding prices are $10, $15, $20. For two sided they were $18.00, $21.49, $26.44 This meant cheapest option was the 4 color single side print having an average card cost of .02 cents per card
The local company I chose was RCS Printing out of New Martinsville, WV For black and white single sided the prices were as follwed 100-$20 250-$24 500-$34 for two sided black and white prices are as followed 100-$30 250-$34 500-$49 The offered unlimited colors when printing a colored option for one side: 100-$26 250-$30 500-$42 For two sides 100-$50 250-$66 500-$82 In addtion to these prices a $5 setup fee was charged and this did not include shipping The cheapest option here is the single sided black and white quantity of 500 with an average card cost of .07 cents
Finally! An online company I chose was GotPrint. The type of paper I chose for my card was premium uncoated cover. But the quantities they had were 250, 500 and 1000. For Color on one side: 250- $12.80, $0.05 per card; 500- $16.24, $0.03 per card; 1000- $18.90, $0.02 per card
For Color on one side and black & white on the other: 250- $16.10, $0.06 per card; 500- $17.50, $0.04 per card; 1000- $20.30, $0.02 per card.
For Color on both sides: 250- $16.80, $0.07 per card; 500- $18.20, $0.04 per card; 1000- $21.00, $0.02 per card.
What looks the cheapest out of all of them is the color on one side. So mainly Gotprint showed to have the cheapest alternative than the local printing company.
the online company i chose was Uprinting.com it was user friendly and the costumer service was great. their pricing wasnt too bad either. they offered a bunch of different options about things and even do the special business cards that we all thought were really cool in class that aren't the traditional square of paper.
their prices are as follows
50 1 sided 2 color cards $11.84 50 2-sided 2-color cards $13.43 100 1- sided 2 color cards $15.25 100 2 sided 2 color cards $18.42 250 1 sided 2 color cards $26.40 250 2 sided 2 color cards $30.15 50 1 sided 5 color cards $18.22 50 2 sided 5 color cards $20.66 100 1 sided 5 color cards $23.47 100 2 sided 5 color cards $28.34 250 1 sided 5 color cards $39.59 250 2 sided 5 color cards $45.22
for my local company i chose one called "Murray & Heister INC" again, their customer service is great and they have allot of promotions that they do, the sales woman said that there is a different "Deal" every week. the only downside to using them to make my cards would be that the smallest amount of cards they will sell you at once is 75. but their prices were really good so i wouldn't mind purchasing more if i had to.
