Be sure to ask what kind of printing services the company specialise in, such as offset printing, digital printing, or thermography. Knowing these methods will help you determine the best option for your business cards. Also ask about special finishes - at Absolute Creative Print, we can offer a wide range of special finishes to help you stand out from the crowd - from a soft touch lamination to foil sleeking and embossing.
Paper quality plays a part in your brand image, so ask whether the printer uses coated or uncoated stock for business cards. Sustainability is key - we use a variety of paper stocks, some of which are made from 100% recycled content. Find out more about our Sustainability Policy here.
Time is money, so it's a priority to know how long it will take for your business cards to be printed. Ask about turnaround so you can plan accordingly - especially if you have an upcoming event or meeting you need the cards for. At Absolute Creative Print, we offer a standard 3-5 working day turnaround for business cards (dependent on finishing options) but also offer a faster turnaround if you are really tight for time!
Cost is another one to consider when selecting a business card printer. Ask about pricing, and if the company can apply any special offers to larger quantities or different designs within the print run.

The British are a nation of card senders, we send more cards per person than any other nation. According to the Greeting Card Association the British public spent a massive £1.7 billion on greeting cards last year.
Visions by Heidi is the creation of Heidi Lynne Dexter Rixon, who has been inspired by images and stories of everyday life in the south east English countryside.
Heidi's website is a textbook example of how to go about creating an engaging site using a combination of photo gallery, blog and shop to market her greeting cards and prints. As Heidi herself says: "An extraordinary amount of time, effort, fine-tuning, tweaking, and both asking for and being open to feedback is vital, as is spending almost just as much time with tagging, keywords, and meta descriptions".
What's more important is that Heidi has also ensured that her website can be easily found with four social media links (WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) and visible to search engines.
Heidi says she would be happy to consult with anyone who was looking for advice or feedback on their endeavour, or to answer any questions.
