Free Business Cards - Any Recommendations?

Hello all,

I am looking into getting some business cards printed out for my upcoming charity cycle ride, and also our long trip when we eventually start.

There seem to be numerous free offerings on the web, which I assume make their money on the postage or similar. Has anyone used any or even some cheap ones, and got any recommendations?

thanks

I got free vistaprint cards back when I was a freelance tog. Perfectly adequate. The even had a sand dune effect background that was quite cool...

cant compete with £4/250 by the time you buy card and ink, but if you wanted fewer there is a business card template in MS works/office

VistaPrint warning..

well everyone ordering cards from Vistaprint please be carefull..
Make sure that u pay by debit card and not credit card...
when u have paid make sure they can't take money ever again..

Vistaprint tends to charge a yearly "memberships" fee to the card you have paid with...specially with credit cards..

I run a little Print & Design Company and have had this complaint about vistaprint from various clients...

If anyone ever wants some cheap good quality print I am always prepared to help out...at cost......
Providing Print for my details..

So yeah everyone keep an eye on ur statements.....

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
