The sample kit helped me to decide on what type of business card I want for future orders. Vista has great quality options!

Business cards serviceable but color is not as expected

Oct 24, 2025 | Mishaa D. | Verified Buyer
Ordering and uploading was easy. Deliver at was fast. But I sent the exact same image to another print shop and the colors are much richer and more dynamic from the other shop. For business cards, these will do but I am a bit disappointed at the washed out color.

cool papers

Business Card Sample kit

Oct 23, 2025 | Rachel T. | Verified Buyer
The quality of each card is top notch. I enjoyed seeing the difference in each card, and how the slightest change in finish could completely change the cards. If you're like me and over think everything order a sample so you can see firsthand what you're paying for.
