Online Printing Companies and Stationery Stores

Overview

Online printing companies will print and deliver to your door your business cards, letterheads, stickies and whatever other printed advertising materials you may come up with.

Many will also offer non-paper print products, such as t-shirts, mugs, fridge magnets or mouse pads with your company logo and message, as well a variety of stationery products like stamps, pens, etc.

Other services offered by some of these companies include graphic design e.g. for your company's logo. They may also provide direct mail marketing services (VistaPrint) - sorting, addressing, and sending your marketing materials to your customer list or a targeted customer list supplied by them.

VistaPrint.com

VistaPrint is "the WalMart" of online stationery and printing. Huge selection of products and services backed by their "Lowest Price Guarantee" and "Satisfaction Guarantee". Delivery choices range from 1 to 3 weeks. Quality is more than reasonable, considering their low prices.
Aside from printing and stationery products VistaPrint also offer logo design services and direct mail marketing services - sorting, addressing, and sending your printed marketing materials to your entire customer list or a targeted customer list supplied by them.

CardBuilderPro.com

Prices are quite high. Even though CardBuilderPro offer lifted letter print and glossy finish for all of their business card products, the difference seems unjustified.

Awaiting a response from them (to our inquiry from August 25th, 2007, submitted online through their "Contact Us" form) explaning the reason why their products cost so much more as compared to their competitors' prices. As of October 17th, 2007 there has been no response from them to this inquiry...

PrintPelican.com

www.printpelican.com PrintPelican is your "Cadillac" solution to all your business printing needs. With a few minor exceptions their service is very flexible and they offer a variety of high-quality extras (e.g. a free U/V cover for your business cards or aqueous coating for catalogs and calendars, also at no extra charge).
Shipment options also offer a greater variety compared to most other companies - you can get your order as fast as the next business day with their next-day shipment option. PrintPelican also offers direct-mailing services at great prices.
The few aspects of their service which we found lacking in flexibility is that business cards can only be ordered in batches of 500 and that they only ship to USA and Canada.

iPrint.com

Free delivery on orders of $75 or more makes this provider attractive for customers placing big orders.
iPrint offers a huge selection including a range of products beyond the common business/stationery selection, e.g. printed golf balls tote-bags, teddy bears, etc.. At the time of writing of this review they were not offering direct mailing / marketing services or design services...
