Hi All,

I have an idea in mind and am visiting a related conference next week. I would like to give a business card to people that I talk to. Do you know of any website which prints cards in low volumes, example 30 cards. I am trying to save costs as much as I can.

Thanks

Considering that a company like Vistaprint will do you 100 cards for $9 or so you might as well go down that route even if you wind up with a bunch of leftovers. It doesn't get much cheaper than that.

I checked them out...but they charge $10+ for shipping and it takes about 7 days. So its not really cheap.

If you can't afford $20 then maybe you need to get more creative with your pitch and rely less on props like business cards.
