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.

I didn't know about MOO until i read this site, ordered double sided business cards with them and im very impressed! Great looking quality cards, not cheap but well worth the price.
Snapfish is converting to a new site, and I had to communicate with at least four-five different CS reps. I admire people who can speak multiple languages, but this became ridiculous.
They all were obviously using the same script (e.g., "I am more than happy to help you with that. Please kindly hold on the chat for a minute, meanwhile I look up the information."), and in the end, none were able to help me. I really wanted to communicate with a manager, not about the CS reps, but about the problems with Snapfish's new site.
My problem stems from the conversion of classic Snapfish to the new Snapfish. I started a photo book on another photo site (with no problems). Because a family member downloaded photos I want to include to Snapfish, I had to start over on Snapfish. Two of my images wouldn't download, (requiring 2-3 chats before someone finally figured out what to do), the size/format of the book I want is not available in the new Snapfish (which I learned after starting it on classic Snapfish and another chat), and photos shared on the new Snapfish cannot be transferred/shared with the classic Snapfish (another chat). So I either needed to use a different book (more expensive) or not include the photos.
Apparently, these features will be available once the new Snapfish is complete. Why on earth would any company introduce a new version before all features are available or before the bugs are worked out--beta version? I'm ordering prints of the photos on the new Snapfish and will scan them to include in my photo book on the other site. Then I'm done with Snapfish
Moo literally blew my expectations! I was on a tight budget and designed my own cards. I chose the cheapest paper and the cheapest shipping.
The cards arrived quickly and the quality is exceptional! The paper stock is thick and feels nice to the touch.
The quality of the cards can't be faulted, and virtually everyone I've given one to is impressed and wants to know where I got them done.
I will definitely use MOO again and will recommend them to all my friends.
Im not impressed by Vistaprint at all. Their product pricing is competitive but their shipping prices are extremely high. On top of that it took almost 3 weeks for my order to arrive. Everything looks good and cheap with Vistaprint, but at checkout the negative experience begins. I will never use Vistaprint again.
Vistaprint is best value for money, i've been using them for businesscards/flyers and stationary. They never let me down.
