Perfect for New Business Owners!

Oct 6, 2025 | Rita D. | Verified Buyer
As a brand-new business owner, I wanted to make sure my marketing materials looked professional before investing in a full order. The free sample business kit from Vistaprint was exactly what I needed! It came quickly, beautifully packaged, and showed a wide range of paper types, finishes, and styles. Seeing and feeling the quality in person helped me decide on my logo layout, card thickness, and finish for my first official order. The samples looked polished, the print colors were vibrant, and even the smallest details (like texture and edge cuts) looked high-end. It’s such a smart idea for any startup or small business that wants to get things right the first time. I really appreciate that Vistaprint offers this at no cost—it shows they care about helping new businesses grow. I’ll definitely be placing my first full order soon!!

Came quickly with a variety of options

Had never ordered stickers or business cards before and don't have a design background. Vistaprint made it so easy that I was able to design and order some great materials for a great price. Will go back to them for sure!

This is a great help!
