All told, I have literally spent hundreds of hours searching for, using, testing and ordering from business card websites.
So if there’s anyone who’s qualified to name a “best business card website,” heck, maybe it’s me.
Well let me be the first to tell you that neither I, nor anyone else, could do such a thing.
Frankly, it all depends what you’re looking for.
Embossed. Foil Stamped. Letterpress. Silk. Wood. Die-Cut. Plain Jane. Metal. Rounded. Round. Square. 3D. Edible. Ceramic. Plastic. Magnets. Need I go on?
Different sites excel at different varieties of business cards.
That’s actually my goal with AllThingsBusinessCards – to present sites that excel in each category.
That being said… if you’re not a designer and are relying on templates and an online design tool to customize your business card, then there IS a website that stands out.
Zazzle.
Designers from all over the world upload their own designs, so the selection of templates is absolutely fantastic (as in, thousands in many niches).
Their design tool is also incredible. You can edit virtually anything on the card. There are dozens upon dozens of unique fonts. You can upload and remove images from the front and back. You can choose from several varieties and colors of paper. I’ll stop there.
Best business card website? I won’t go there. But for non specialty cards, Zazzle impressed me more than any site I’ve come across in a while.

I just came across something really cool.
The business card company MOO is giving away $250,000 in free business card redesigns (that’s 500 of them), as part of something called "The Business Card Project."
Just fill out a short form, submit your business card, and they’ll pick 500 business cards to redesign.

Business card magnets are great for keeping your message in front of your customers.
In many cases, they have a lot more “staying power” than traditional business cards as they can be tacked up on refrigerator or filing cabinet, where they’re easy to see on a regular basis.

Green Printers Rule!
I love business cards.
But I also understand that they waste a LOT of paper.
And that I don’t like.
So I certainly support the purchase of recycled paper business cards, or at the very least, green business cards that use soy based inks and environmentally conscious printing processes. The good news is that green printing is growing in both popularity and availability.
The next time you order, consider choosing a company that has made an effort to offer recycled paper business cards to their customers.
Oh… and the next time you feel like tossing a business card someone gave you… recycle it!
4 places you can get recycled paper business cards:
- Greener Printer – A printer totally devoted to green printing
- VistaPrint – Offering 100% recycled paper business cards at up to 85% off
- PSPrint – Very environmentally-friendly printing company
- 123 Print – 100% recycled business cards and many green designs too
Consider printing with one of the companies above.
The finished product will still look great, and your customers and contacts will appreciate your decision to support the environment!

A good business card is still a good marketing tool
A lot of blog posts and other commentary has surfaced about retiring the business card forever, opting instead for new technologies that make information sharing easy (generally, using a smartphone).
I object. For many reasons.
But forget my personal objections for the moment (or rather read about them here)
Here is a great NY Times blog post that summarizes some other people’s responses on this issue.
Read: O.K. I Guess We’re Not Retiring the Business Card (Yet)
What do you think?
Is it time to retire the business card? Or does this marketing tool still have some legs?
