Here in the States, they have a 'freebie' of 250 cards (you pay shipping costs only). I got some for my daughter a year ago, and the quality was alright. I'm sure the 'paid for' ones are much nicer, tho. And they never bothered me with adverts afterwards, either. Nice touch :D

Freebie offer here from VistaPrint (http://www.vistaprinttrial.com/co/vistaprint/01/default_lp.asp?sid=M2AG2aGS).

I used Vistaprint too, the freebees in US. Backgrounds are great.

Glossy and other extras cost more.

Good enough for everyday use. Well worth the price. ST

Don't know if it's what you need, but I've always fancied CD/DVD business cards (http://www.ebusiness-cards.co.uk/) - putting a resume and/or portfolio on a business card media disc could be a great idea, depending on the line of work you're in.

The cards have arrived and the print is so tiny you can hardly see it
Im not very impressed so i will be making a complaint to customer service..Even though they were free i still had to pay £5.12 postage which is a bit of a rip off .the box is tiny ......it didnt cost that much to send them...
Feel like you have been hoodwinked.?. i do

Sorry you had that trouble.

Mine were fine.

I also buy imprinted pens from National Pen Company. http://www.nationalpen.com/

They're not much more expensive than regular ones and they keep your name up front, not tucked in a pocket or wallet.

BTW, I love your signature....

I've also used VistaPrint, and I was very pleased with the results. I had 2500 business cards printed for myself. They were done in 3 colors and I had them printed on both sides. Side 1 was my company logo, contact information, and the like. Side 2 was a solid light grey background with my name left in white lettering. I was very happy with the quality and speed. Their customer support was also very helpful and responsive.

I have used Vista print for a couple of years. I find the business cards excellent. Uploaded my own logo. I've also used the magnetic cards for my travel business. No complaints
