Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Premium, Professional Quality
Paper thin cards with jagged, perforated edges? Just because you print your cards yourself doesn’t mean they have to look homemade! Avery’s unique, patented Clean Edge® technology enables these business cards to snap apart from the sheet, leaving completely smooth, non-perforated edges... just like professionally printed cards. Plus, they are made from thick, stiff cardstock, so they are durable and also feel like premium cards. And you can print vivid color graphics and sharp text on both sides.
Free, Easy to Use Templates
Avery’s Design & Print Online tool (www.avery.com/print) contains thousands of free pre-designed templates that are easy to customize. It’s completely Internet-based, so there is no software to download and is compatible with both PC and Mac® operating systems. You can easily import your own images, graphics or logos, and can save your projects on your computer for easy editing and reprinting.
Why Should I Print My Own Business Cards?
• No Minimum Order Quantities. Print as many or as few cards as you need, when you need them. So, if you only need 20 cards, then just print 20 cards (instead of having to order 500 from a printer).
• Customizable. Because you can print as few as 10 cards at a time, you can change your business cards as often you’d like. For example, you might want to feature a “product of the month” on the back of your card. Or maybe you want to promote upcoming events or advertise time sensitive promotions. And how often have you had to throw away a box of business cards because your phone # or e-mail address changed or you were given a new title? What a waste!
• Available Right Away. Uh oh... you just realized you ran out of business cards as you’re packing for a business trip or preparing for a big meeting tomorrow. Not to worry. You don’t have to wait days or weeks for a printer to print and ship your cards or pay a huge fee for expedited shipping. Just print off a few sheets of business cards and your problem is solved in minutes.
• Affordable. In most cases, if you need less than 500 cards at a time, it’s cheaper to print your own cards than to order them online or from a printer¹. Online printers may lure you in with an attractive offer, but then they often charge extra fees for backside printing, color printing, uploading your logo, proofing, better cardstock, different colors, textures or finishes, etc. Do the math--figure out the cost per card after all these fees are added. Then compare to Avery’s Clean Edge® Business Cards, which cost only about 8 cents per card1 and Avery’s on-line design tool with thousands of pre-designed templates is FREE!

You can make these work with a good Inkjet printer,

This review is from: Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, White, Pack of 200 (08873) (Office Product)
I wanted to make business cards at home, that looked and felt good, and that would allow a great color photo picture to be used on the card with my information. I selected the Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, Matte, White, Pack of 200 (08873) - and after working with templates and WORD to design my card, I've been really happy with the results.My cards are full color, one sided (even though you can print on both sides of these). The "linen" texture is only on one side, but if you print a nice color picture on the texture side with your business/contact information (my card has a color picture that fills the whole card space) then leaving the back white actually makes the card look even sharper, in my opinion. I tried to print my high quality photo (with information) on these cards using a laser printer, an HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer, and I was not happy with the photo quality on these cards (or on any stock for that matter). So, I am using a color photo inkjet now, and I'm really happy with the results. My inkjet is not too fancy, a Canon PIXMA iP6220D Photo Printer, but the results look really nice. I use the highest quality photo print setting, and I tell it that this paper is "matte photo paper" and it all works! The laser perforated edges on all four sides of the cards snap away cleanly. You don't rip or cut or tear these cards apart, you print them, and snap them apart. This worked much better than I would have imagined. You can not see the that these were snapped apart - the final product looks great. Why not 5 stars then? I wish these were just a tad heavier. They are not cheap or flimsy as some reviewers suggest, but they are not as stiff (thick) as some cards. Maybe if they were thicker, they might not print as well in the low-end photo printers.

Disappointed In Quality,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, White, Pack of 200 (08873) (Office Product)
I convinced people that I could make business cards for them, and invested in the software and paper. Software worked outstanding, but this paper looked little better than standard copier bond. The thickness is minimal, and the texture is just on one side. I invested in Avery's most expensive product and it came up very short. They need to do much better.

This review is from: Avery Linen-Textured Two-Side Clean Edge Business Cards for Inkjet Printers, White, Pack of 200 (08873) (Office Product)
Avery is living on its reputation, and like other companies that try this, their reputation is going down fast...Cards can only be printed one side (no indication of this on box or in literature); also, they had problems w/ink spotting (not printer related).
