The price was more than listed, which was a bit frustrating and when they arrived, the words were not as clear as when we created them. Overall, we were pleased with the ease of use of the website and how quickly they arrived.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We are glad to hear that you were pleased with the ease of using the website and the quick delivery of your Pearl Business Cards, though we are sorry to learn that the text clarity did not fully meet your expectations. We understand how important readability and sharp text contrast are for a professional final result. To help prevent similar issues in the future, we strongly encourage carefully reviewing the on-screen preview and downloading the PDF proof available on the editing page before finalizing an order. These tools help provide clearer expectations regarding text visibility, color contrast, and overall design appearance against the selected background. Moreover, we recommend considering a few design adjustments to improve the contrast between the text and backdrop color for enhanced readability. Once any preferred edits are made, please feel free to reorder at your convenience. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for sharing your experience with us. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-866-207-4955.

Clear, Beautiful, High Quality Business Cards

Vista Print offers wonderful, quality, dependable, and in my experience, honestly represented services. The shipping times, etc. they provide are accurate and helpful in timing my order to arrive before needed. I have ordered multiple sets of business cards, each different from the other, some standard (they were quite bright, snappy, glossy and beautiful) and 2 different sets of pearl business cards which were beautiful in a much different way. The darker colors and contrast worked best on the standard which is ready more quickly and the pearl business cards were gorgeous with lighter backgrounds and logos and texts that were bright and alive. The choices they offer are wonderful and I cannot imagine using another service for my business cards, personal cards, etc. etc.

Frequently asked questions

This paper works best with lighter-colored designs. Rich pops of a darker accent color print beautifully, but if your design is mostly black or dark grey, you’re less likely to see the full shimmer effect. And if your design uses photographs, you may want to consider a different paper stock.

Out pearl business cards are made using a 16pt premium paper. Each point (pt) is equal to .001 of an inch, to give you a frame of reference.
