Quality

You only get one chance to make a good first impression! Don't skimp. Quality is job one. No matter how good your homemade cards may look, to the recipient they look cheap. So it infers that your product or service is just that. You'll attract far better clients and customers with a high quality business card. Amazingly, when you consider the cost of ink jet cartridges, card stock and wear and tear on your office/home printer - let alone your time - homemade business cards are actually the most expensive you can buy. The only benefit we can't deny - is the personal satisfaction you did them yourself.

There are so many ways to produce business cards today. We mentioned the office/home printing method. Some manufacturers and 'printers' don't tell you, but they use laser printers, color copiers and most recently 'digital' equipment (just another name for toner or pigmented wax on paper). What they all have in common; besides inferior print quality, is they rely on specially formulated card stocks that are thin and have mediocre grain structure so they can pass through the transport mechanism of the output devise under heat.

These card stocks are like the tail wagging the dog; they're made to accept waxes and toners pressed under heat and not made for what a business card is meant to do. Only true offset printing and the card stocks they use offer the durability and outstanding ink holdout that makes for a quality business card.

Golden Triangle Publications offers the highest quality offset printing and card stocks. They won't stick together in your wallet or weld into one brick in the glove compartment on a hot, sunny day.
