I am getting ready for an 'expo' event at the tail end of August. I also feel it is about time I updated my business cards and stationary.
Can anybody suggest an on/offline provider of small run stationary and business cards. I don't need 5000 cards and 16 boxes of headed notepaper, Just a couple of hundred cards would do for a start - but I could use a little help updating the design etc.
Any UKBF members have businesses that I could turn to, or suggest a well known and trusted alternative.
At the moment cost is a big issue as I am sure it is for all small businesses.
Regards,
Gordon

She handles all our printing and is both bloody affordable and very very prompt.

We can help, and can deliver some of the more unusual styles in smaller order quantities.
One idea to get a card designed just for the expo, these are mainly thrown on the day so it helps to incorporate a reason to keep yours in their pocket.

Yes ....... don't want to sound like stuckkkkk record but I too have found Jacqui at Creacom the business!
She is probably
a) one of the most helpful people around
b) the price is excellent
c) the quality is superb!
... and no I do not work on commission for her! but I DO appreciate top class customer service as most of us do.

Now that is a nice idea, never thought of that before! Will see if I can get permission to use the expo's official logo on it.

And from what I can tell, based in a similar region to myself!
Can I just say a big thank you to everyone for such a quick and helpful response. I have got a few places to look at now I think, lets see if I can get myself a good deal!
Thanks again folks...

Hi,
I dont know if you have got your artwork sorted but I was in a similar boat to you a couple of weeks ago and used a company called 'Dot Kite Lab'. They are great and really really thorough with their approach to your business design. They see it all as a branding exercise to make sure that you are branded in the right way.
Anyway, have a look at their website and see what you think...

If you're giving the stuff out free at your exhibition, make sure you spell it with an 'e'.
Stationary = not moving
Stationery = stuff you write on

Hi Gordon
If you need just 200+ and you have a design you can upload, the quickest and dirtiest route is probably vistaprint. I think, from memory, less than £15 plus postage.
If you wanted more, or to build a relationship, then I would use one of the recommended ones in previous posts.
All the best with the exhibition.

You mentioned it before me, must be quicker next time. :D
'business stationary - any suggestions?' yes, give it a kick to get it moving.
