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 prefer Print Place over any other printing company and have been using them for years. They are my one stop shop for any printing job. Service level is wonderful, product quality excellent. The only negative i can think of are their outrageous shipping rates if you order multiple products. They really need to fix that.

My company always relies on Vista Print for most printing jobs but the results are mixed. Last batch of business cards we ordered was off and very disappointing quality. On the upside: they do offer the best prices, and usually get the orders right. Although the last order was disappointing ill order from them again.

We used Overnightprints for our wedding invitation cards. The marriage was planned for a long time. Our initial plan was to celebrate it with a small circle of friends and family. Just 10 days before the wedding we finally decided to trow a huge party - you only marry once! Needless to say it was stressful to change things in the very last moment. We needed our wedding invitation cards FAST, read the review on overnight prints on this site and decided to use them for printing our invites. Everything turned out wonderful for us: The cards were delivered within 24 hours and the quality was wonderful. Overnight prints - for us - is a company you can count on.

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.

We use Vistaprint for all our printing work. They are reliable and offer great quality print work for very good prices (especially if you use their discount coupons).
For us, Vistaprint is a reliable partner.
