paper for business cards

Hi Guys,

What type of paper stock would you recommend for business cards and where to buy from?

I will be printing on a canon PIXMA IP8500 ( I have not bought the Epson yet). I went to Worldwide printing and got some samples, they are all about 300gsm. I only need to print out about 20 at this stage (it is for my wife's business) so would be easier to do it myself and then cut it up.

I have only ever bought paper from Harvey Norman etc... so not sure what the best type/place to buy from.

Cheers all,
:D

Have a look at say Officeworks, you should be able to find pre-cut blank business cards that are ready to snap out after printing.

http://www.officeworks.com.au - Then choose Office supplies, paper, specialty papers, business cards.....

Not sure of the exact quality of them. of course...

Hi Who,

Thanks for the link, I am not sure the perforated edges would be that nice on the cards after you snap them out. Probably better to get some good paper stock and then just cut them yourself?

I need these by next Thursday so an Australian supplier would be good.
