Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us regarding our Sample Kit. We understand that it would be helpful to see your own business details on the cards before making a purchase. Because our Sample Kits are provided free of charge, we are currently unable to offer customization with personal details. We have deliberately used the same handpicked design on all the different samples in the kit so that you can easily compare the various finishes and paper stocks against one another. Using a consistent design helps highlight the differences in texture and print quality across our different materials. If you have already decided on a specific finish and paper stock that fits your brand, you can proceed with ordering a set of your own custom business cards. This will allow you to see exactly how your unique logo and information look on your chosen material. We appreciate your interest in our products and look forward to helping you bring your brand to life.
