PlasticPrinters.com Praise
About 2 years ago I made personalized business cards for my job as Art Director of Import Tuner Magazine. The boring company-provided white cards with raised type just wouldn’t cut it in my world. I stumbled upon PlasticPrinters.com and I had to wipe the drool from my keyboard.
Transparent plastic business cards? My creative juices just hit afterburners! I chose the frosted/transparent material for a diffused look. After a couple of design tweaks, and very friendly customer service at PlasticPrinters.com I had a stack of practically indestructible and conversation-inducing business cards, sweet!
The cards have never failed to get a “whoa!?”, “nice!” or a “where did you get these?!?” comment. Someone has even asked if they double as a credit card… I wish! But in a way they definitely make me more money. Compared to the flimsy plain white company cards issued throughout the company, mine are the envy of the office.
What’s even sweeter is one of my co-workers just informed me that my card is displayed on the printer’s front page of their website! Well not front and center, but I feel a little fuzzy seeing my design on the front page of an outstanding business that receives literally 1,000s of submissions a year. Screenshots for proof 
Do you think the price you paid at plastic printers was worth it? Did you find a cheaper price any where else?
I’d be lying if I said that you can’t find another business card printer that won’t return the same “WOW” factor, but buying plastic is a sure-fire way to get attention, and hopefully a solid successful partnership. As for the price, it was steeper than the “normal” paper cards of course, but definitely worth it in my eyes. I couldn’t find a cheaper alternative. I’d rather have quality over saving a few bucks any day.
If you’re aiming for small jobs here and there it might not be worth it, but if you’re aim for maximum impact with a business card and expect greater returns, it’s a great investment.
