Ordering Some New Business Cards
The first step was to log onto the Print24 website. From there, you’ll be able to order your business card or any other print items. Selections are made with an easy to use drop down menu that updates in real time. The price changes as you add or remove options so you always know how much the order is going to cost you.
For my cards, I went with the 14 pt coated card stock with full color printing on both side. Print24 offers hundreds of pre-made business card templates that you can use to design your card or you can upload your own custom design, which was what I did. Print24 accepts PDF, JPEG or TIFF uploads. For the best quality, I recommend you upload a TIFF file. After making all the selections, I was asked to create an account and then to upload my files. The entire process was extremely easy and went off without a hitch.
Print24 gave me a target delivery date of April 1 but the cards showed up a day early. That’s always a good thing. When it comes to customer service, it’s always better to be early than late.
My New Business Cards
The quality of the business cards from Print24 was really high. It looked exactly like the TIFF file I sent them. The best thing about the Print24 service is the price. While I was sent this set of cards for free, it would cost only $18.79 if I had to pay for it. The average local print shop in Vancouver charge over $100 for double sided full color business cards.
If you’re in need for some business cards but you’re on a very limited budget, Print24 will print you 250 full color cards for free (you pay shipping). However, you have to use the one of the pre-made Print24 designs. If you want to use your own design, it will cost you $9.95. That’s not going to break the bank.
Overall, I’m very pleased with my Print24 experience. The ordering procedure was straight forward, uploading the file was a snap and delivery came ahead of schedule. I’ll be using them again and I can recommend Print24 for your next printing project.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Awesome, that’s a great deal and those cards look like they are high quality. I’m going to have to get some!
Yeah, as I was scrolling down, I thought image quality was going to be compromised, but it was pretty good actually…
Looking certainly good. Plain and simple.
But that is not the logo which you use in Johnchow.com
Seems to me that this one is your favourite photo (As far as I remember Ed shoot this photo)
i better use the business card service in my area.. more cheap… anyway, great sharing there…
To be honest, thats a sweet deal. 500 for $25 inc. shipping, i am going to order some. You have big boxes, how many did you order?
I’d say $10,000 worth of cards
I ordered 500 but because I used 14pt card stock, they came in two boxes.
That’s definitely a great deal!
Those don’t look bad for the price. They definitely beat those free vista print cards!
That is the main benefit of being famous … getting things free of cost.
But you are also giving them back not in cash but in kind by adding posts about their service.
It is an elegant business card John.
How are the things over in Canada, I mean whenever you get a package, do you have to pay any customs or stuff like that ?
I used to be in the mass business card printing market, before the advent of the internet proper, and admire Print24 for what they’re setting up here. There is some seriously good savings to be had when buying from them, and $80 odd difference is huge!
Do they ship international?
You can go for your local vendor and I am sure they will provide you same quality.
That’s a much better deal than I get at Office Max. Thanks for the heads up.
Office Max makes cards…didn’t know that.
If you have Word on your computer, you can make them that way. Word has business card templates that you can choose from. Just pick one you want and type in your name and phone # on it.
That’s a nice looking business card, John. Print24 looks like they do some really high quality work and they’ve got some great prices too.
Thats a great site, is it worldwide?
Looks great! Is that a logo change I see? I prefer to use Photoshop for our cards – that way you can get creative and still print on standard paper/size.

I like the new business cards John will check out the company.
