Not really a money saver, but versatile (Reply to this comment)
by barrytroy
I am not convinced that printable biz cards are a money saver for full quantities. You can get 500 professionally printed cards at the low end for about the same cost as a 200 pack of printable cards and they will have a more professional looking finish as well. Where the printable ones shine is for low quantities and quick turn around. If you just need a quick run of 10 cards for a special purpose, then these really shine. Maybe you need a temporary supply while waiting for your professional order, or you need place markers for a formal dinner or have information on the card that changes frequently. They work well for these needs, but for quantity production, they will neither save money nor give the most professional result.

Not professional (Reply to this comment)
by iweb4you
No matter how you printing it, if you're using an inkjet, it's still will not look as good as it would if you had sent if out to either a press shop or digital printing shop. If you need something that fast and cheap and don't care about your image then maybe go with this.

Timely review... (Reply to this comment)
by rocoboko
...I have avoided using pre-cut business cards for the very reasons you stated, but sounds like they improved since I last attempted printing my own. I'll give them a try again as I need a couple hundred for an event in two weeks. Thanks!

Clean Edge Business Cards (Reply to this comment)
by hshorty
I have used Avery products for a long time and have been happy with them. I was a bit surprised to have the static between the cards making it hard to separate them. Otherwise, the edges are clean and neat.

Interesting coincidence (Reply to this comment)
by tennis_player
Kath,
I happened to be involved in the development of that product. I was with Avery for 30 years and it was an offshoot of another product that was developed for the grocery industry - shelf tags!
We started by producing tags that were held on a backing sheet that would go through high-speed laser printers (Xerox 9700 costing $250,000) and sent out to the stores where they could be peeled off and applied to the shelf to identify and price products displayed.
Then, we developed it with "reverse" adhesive where the adhesive stayed on the liner and the shelf tag could be slipped into the channel on the shelf nosing and moved since there was no adhesive.
This "adhesiveless tag" led to the idea of business cards and other applications. We tried making in full sheets with "micro perfs" to allow it to be broken up and that led to the "clean edge" technology.
I retired before the product became fully commercialized but I am glad to see it such a good success and that you, and others, like it.
Jim

Your coming of age (Reply to this comment)
by grandgram
You are now a business woman with her own cards. I used this to make name tags as the card was of a heavier paper. Worked great I used different pictures of each person on each card and printed out the batch.
Take Care

This sounds wonderful, Kath! I might even take a stab at it myself. Thanks for a wonderfully informative review, as always.
