business cards

if you ever need business cards printed, taiwan is a great place to get them printed. tuesday i went to the printer and asked a bunch of questions. the guy gave me samples, dimensions, printing time, etc. so i returned home and designed my business card. wednesday before i headed out to lunch i dropped off my design, saved as a pdf file. friday afternoon (about 1/2 hour ago) he called and said they were ready. i went to pick them up, and they were just as i had ordered.

in total i paid NT$200 (< US$6) for a box of 500. that means each card costs me less than US$0.012. crazy cheap. even the "free" cards from vistaprint will cost you about US$10 (after s&h) for 250 cards. the price jumps to about $30 for a box of 500. and fast. the paper stock i had chosen takes 3 days, but there are ones where they print them daily, so you can have your design the next day.
