Great Sample of VistaPrint's Business Card Printing Capabilities!

Aug 27, 2025 | holistic d. | Verified Buyer
This is a great little sample of different shapes and paper types, as well as printing effects that VistaPrint offers for their business cards. I ordered this because the company I worked for is looking to order some unique and eye-catching cards for our retail store, and now we have a way better idea of what kind of business card we are looking for. Plus, it's free! Thanks again.
