I have personally used Uprinting's business cards online printing services and can say that I have been impressed with the level of quality and customer service that they provide. UPrinting is definitely the source to go to when looking to fulfill your promotional printing needs.
For those who do not know how to design their own marketing materials, UPrinting has many professional-looking and flexible templates for your use. [SHAMELESS PLUG WARNING: Or you could always engage me to design them for you.] Their upload and prepping process is one of the most user-friendly I have experienced. But the most important factor of all to me is the quality of the cards and that they feel professional and not cheaply-made. So when I received my business cards and I was so impressed by both the print quality as well as the substantial weight of the paper used, I became a convert.
For those who like an edgier look, UPrinting also offers non-traditional card sizes like the square or the slim (as shown in the photo above). The eco-friendly option of printing on 13-pt recycled uncoated cardstock is also available.
These cards are useful and flexible: from the classic business card, to blogger cards, designer cards, and so much more. If you feel that you have no need for calling cards, you can create little note cards out of each card, complete with blank lines, and you will always be at the ready to leave a thank you or "just-to-say-hi" note in style.
Now I am glad to announce that thanks to UPrinting, I have the chance to giveaway a set of 500 business cards and earn a set for myself! US shipping is included as well so it would be $0 out of pocket for you. (The prize is estimated to be worth $50.)

- Sizes: 2 x 3.5", 2 x 3", 2 x 2" (square card) or 1.5 x 3.5" (slim card)

Need some new cards for my etsy shop.

I would love this! I have some very basic cards I got cheap from another site, and they're kind of blah. I would be thrilled to have some cards made that are "just for me"!
