Moo Mini-Cards

Last week I ordered 100 little cards from Moo.com. The site allows you to create cards, stickers, mini-cards, and greeting cards amongst other things. I wanted the little cards for TraumaAdoption. It seems like when I'm out and about, there are people who I meet who have interest in the little site that my wife and I built in Drupal and of which I have become the defacto community manager. I ordered the cards about 10 days ago and today they arrived in a little padded mailer inside a very sturdy plastic case. The cards have a nice feel to them - the stock seems thick and has a bit of a shine. My only real complaint is the lack of ability to design the back where you lay text. Basically you have the choice of three fonts and the option to centre, justify left, or justify right. Still, the little cards weren't too expensive and each one seems like a tiny piece of art. All in all, I'm pleased and will order them again.

I've seen Moo cards from different folks as kind of a "do-it-yourself" business cards where you can you up to 100 different images on each card or use one of their designs. Reminds me too that Cafe Press offers a similar kind of service where you can make customized cards, thank you notes, etc. for your organization (and also sell these). Nonprofits can get a store free of charge there as well. I haven't used Cafe Press yet for printed cards so I can't speak to the quality, but maybe someone else here can. Anyone tried Moo cards, Cafe Press or similar types of services?

The little MOO cards are on thick card stock, are a bit glossy, and have nice colour saturation.  I'll order another batch when my current batch are exhausted.

Make sure to join their Facebook Page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/moocom/7525138134?ref=ts they do a promotion with free shipping or something about once a month.

 

MOO also has a 'green' recycled paper stock selection, which I would encourage people to choose over the standard. Do you know which paper you chose? Classic or Green?

I mentioned MOO in a blog post with a few other recommendations for printing greener biz cards.

And I just found out about one of those special offers. Free first 50 cards; you just pay shipping. Details are here.
