I was very pleased with how these turned out and the quality and quantity was great for the price.

Samples did not include linen

Dec 8, 2025 | Vy N. | Verified Buyer
Description says kit will include 11 business card samples but didn't specify which paper stock. I'm disappointed it didn't include one that was linen paper stock. That was the sole reason I ordered the sample. I wanted to check out the linen before commiting to a larger order. I'm glad the kit included "soft touch. " I believe that's a new paper stock printing companies are starting to offer.

Perfect
