Hi all,
As an illustrator, I send out custom christmas cards featuring my art to clients, friends and family every year.
It's a small batch job – I do two different designs and get 20-25 of each printed (40-50 total). I design them to fit on a square folded card, printed both sides. I do a design that runs across the inside of the card, so it does need to be folded and printed both sides.
In the past, I have used Photobook Australia and Vistaprint, however I have not really been satisfied with the quality. I usually pay extra for the premium stock/finishing, but it's still just above average.
I would love to try MOO, but unfortunately they don't offer custom square folded cards.
Can anyone recommend me an online print store to try? It doesn't need to be giclee, or luxury premium – but I am looking for the next step up.
I don't feel comfortable taking such a very small job to a commercial printer here in Melbourne, especially as some of the options I have researched are a lot more expensive than I can afford.
Ideally, I'd like to pay around $60 all up.
TLDR: – Looking for an online print store to get small batch of cards printed for reasonable price and above average quality – not vistaprint, photobook australia or, sadly, moo.
I have reached out on a few sites and have not had much of a response, so hopefully you ozbargainers can help me out :)
No idea how much they cost but I know people who have used Print City based in Flinders Lane in Melb CBD, but I think you can just order online. Their stuff seems good but I’ve not looked at it in detail either. I’m sure they’ll have examples in store if you want to have a look.
