Great Sample

Nov 23, 2025 | Kim D. | Verified Buyer
I highly recommend ordering this free sample kit. It shows you the different types of business cards that are available, making your decision for purchase much easier! And the square cards are so cute!

Love the variety!

I think it was really cool to get a business card sample for every type of business card that they sell. One thing that would’ve got me to probably spend more money was if everything was made for my business to fit the business cards rather than getting some generic company name on there but nothing to do with me so it didn’t translate very well into text on paper. But I love the idea of being able to see every type of card, which is exactly what got me to change my business card from matte to high gloss color!

Outstanding

This variety pack really shows off the level of detail that Vista Print can provide. The soft touch finish is amazing. The vibrant colors make the designs really pop and the foil finish looks astounding.

My boss was very happy I was able to provide a sample of cards. Made his job easier as he were looking into a few options for new biz cards. Vista print made the process so simple and affordable it was a no brainer to order the sample kit. Thank you
