Very good

Photo background was better than expected. There was a white vertical line on the left edge of every card that was the only flaw.

Great Samples

Very pleased with the sample kit provided! It gave lots of creative options to choose from. Having a hard time choosing between a 16pt and 18pt. Great quality. Very appreciative of being able to sample before making a huge order! Thanks

The guy at Vistaprint told me about this and I think it is great they will send this out to you for no charge and also free shipping so that you can get what you want for your company. It came in 3 days although I think it said it would take longer. I recommend ordering this before ordering your cards!
