Thinking of getting new business cards? We think it's time to ditch your old-fashioned ones and go square.
I've never been a fan of square cards until I saw one from a movie. The first square business card that really made an impression to me was from Hitch. Alex Hitchens is a professional dating consultant, and there was this scene where he met up with a potential client and handed over this small black square card. Apparently it was his business card, and that small black business card on his fingers for me was a symbol of who he is professionally: simple, stylish and successful.
Aside from the obvious advantage of size - so small it only eats up a portion of your wallet - it's the sleekness and cutting edge design of the card that makes square business cards stand out. They are great especially if you have a unique brand style, and they are customizable and offer more design and printing options.
Moo thinks square is the new cool because it's a proof of you being a "thinking-outside-of-the-box" individual - and we couldn't agree more. You can check out Moo's square card templates and avail of the discounts that they're currently offering for printing your business cards.
If you're feeling uninspired and thinking of a new look for your business card, here are some of the square card designs that we think really work and that you can try as your own.

Hello, I called customer service a few days ago with questions regarding the wedding cards I was attempting to order. A customer service representative by the name of Samara, not only navigated me through the site but informed me how to change colors, fonts, where to find offers, how and where to request the quick shipping (fasting shipping) and information on how to ask the designer for minor changes. She was extremely efficient, professional, knowledgeable, competent and friendly. Like I stated to her, I am extremely stress prone so to have such a pleasant experience and smoother process with ordering my wedding invites, that call truly made my week! I will be referring any and all contacts to order from this company, as she was just so helpful and resolved all my issues.
Im a graphic designer and tried all web2print companies around. Printingforless always delivers, knowledgeable people and good support.
I bought a groupon type certificate for tiny prints so decided to order my Christmas cards there. I purchased a square card and ordered the longer size envelopes because the website said you pay normal postage versus extra postage for a square envelope. When I received the envelopes, the flap was on the side so I oriented my address label and stamps that way. Every single envelope (150) was returned to me because the USPS says I need double postage because of the way the envelope is oriented. I contacted tiny prints and they told me I should have known which way the envelope should have been oriented and they will not reimburse me for the stamps ... They will only send me new envelopes (what does that cost them ... A couple dollars?). So now, I either have to buy all new stamps (@ $75) to send the envelopes as they are or readdress 150 new envelopes, cut out all the stamps off the old envelopes and tape them on the new ones.... And the envelopes are not even arriving until 3 days before Christmas (guess they couldn't afford to ship them any faster) so I doubt I will be able to get them back out quickly enough to be delivered by Christmas. Tiny Prints should tell you you need to orient the envelopes in a certain way or put the flap on the long side where it normally is. I will never do business with this company again. Not only do they over charge for their products (cards were still very expensive even with discount certificate), they give terrible customer service.
Inkgarden offers the most flexibility with their design tools. You can actually save your design to complete it later, and their tools allow you to exactly position where the design is located on the product that you create. Adding text is easy, you can use multiple designs, choose if you want to use single or double sided, etc, etc.
Product quality was satisfying, and customer service was helpful.
I will definately use them again.
Inkgarden rules! I'm a sucker for personalized plates and I will use any excuse to order some; my mother's wedding, Christmas season or a new neighbor. They're not super sturdy but they hold on pretty well. I started by ordering some of the designs they feature but soon started making my own. This spring I had to order some personalized hoodies for a marathon so it was obvious I would use InkGarden. The print was flawless and everyone loved them! Have to agree with Aurora Martin, if you don’t use a modern camera the photo won’t print out very good.
