Printing odd size cards - 08-27-2007, 10:24 PM


Maybe this question doesn't best belong in this forum, but it seemed the best at the moment....

I have just started looking for a source to print specific (probably odd) size business-like cards. These are double-sided, somewhat glossy, color (no embossing), customized cards that are 2.5 x 4 inches. Does anyone know of an online source for printing these by the 100's? I've seen these distributed by both models and athletes, and have a few samples sweatily stuck to my elbow as I type at this moment...
But I haven't found an outlet for getting these printed.
Anyone know of a place?!?

Thanks!

Yes, I've looked at mpix, ofoto, shutterfly, ezprints, overnight prints, etc...
trying to hit most of the online printers that I am familiar with.

The odd thing is that I know that someone does it because I've got a stack of samples in my hand. The 2.5 x 4 size (a firm requirement) is the oddity, with semi-gloss printing on both sides.

I'm starting to get really stumped.

Any suggestions anyone??? Please?!?!

Did you look at the fine print on the cards. A lot of the time the company will print their name some where on the card.

Thank you - that's one I haven't looked at yet. First glances (without indepth browsing) appears that they offer trading card sizes 2.5 x 3.5, which is close... maybe that's what I'll have to settle with - if I can convince the customer that is...

Also, yes, I've closely checked the examples I have - no info anywhere on them (except the models age, measurements, etc... )

Thanks for the recommend - I'll keep looking...
