Product Description

From the Manufacturer

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!


Great Ways to Use Avery Clean Edge® Business Cards
Avery Clean Edge® Business Cards are printable on both sides, so be sure to take advantage of the back side of the card.


Promotional Tool for Small Businesses
Grow your business by using your business card as a promotional tool. Put your logo, location and contact information on the front of the card and use the back side to:

•    Showcase a list of products or services
•    Feature a new product or service
•    Promote an upcoming event
•    Give out a coupon with a discount off the next visit
•    Run a "frequent shopper" program (for ex, the 10th sandwich is free)
•    Use as an appointment reminder card
•    List several locations
•    Include a map or directions
•    Translate the front of your card into another language (bilingual cards)
•    Include a calendar, a tip rate chart or other useful info so customers will want to keep your card handy



Promotional Tool for Realtors
Because you can print as few as 10 cards at a time, realtors can create targeted, marketing materials …customized for every open house, every property for sale, every neighborhood or every client.  Use the back side of the card to:

•    Feature current listings, including pictures of the home, key features, listing price, etc.
•    Advertise open houses, including date, time, map, directions, etc.
•    List recent neighborhood sales
•    Include an interest rate table

You could even create a customized card for each home you are selling and provide a stack to the home owner to distribute for you.



Networking Tool for Job Seekers
Looking for a job?  Let your business card sell you!  Create your own personal business cards to promote yourself at career fairs, networking events, social gatherings, job interviews or any situation where it’s not appropriate or convenient to hand out a full page resume.  Just put your name and contact info on the front of the card and use the back side to:

•    Highlight your experience, like a mini resume card
•    Indicate your area of expertise
•    Summarize your unique skills and abilities
•    List your credentials, degrees, training or certifications
•    Outline your career objective
•    Communicate a personal positioning statement

And because you can print as few as 10 cards at a time, you can tailor your business cards for specific industries, job opportunities or networking situations, so you can create multiple versions of your business card, just like you do with your resume.

This review is from: Avery White Clean Edge Two Sided Laser Business Cards, 2 x 3.5 Inches, Box of 400 (5877) (Office Product)

I had an absolutely horrible experience with these Avery Clean Edge business cards. One word *static*. Once you print on one side of the sheet, the static buildup on the sheets from running through my laser printer was so strong that they stuck together like glue. This meant for *guaranteed* misalignments and paper jams when printing on the other side, because the printer cannot separate the sheets from each other. My printer does not have a manual feed, so I am SOL. Other reviewers have mentioned this, but still given the product a five star review! What gives? This product does not work as advertised. Any paper product you have to run through a manual feeder due to static buildup is not one you want to take a chance on. Do you like paper jams and misalignments?

This review is from: Avery White Clean Edge Two Sided Laser Business Cards, 2 x 3.5 Inches, Box of 400 (5877) (Office Product)

I used this product for the first time recently and was extremely pleased with the physical printing process and clarity. I use a Lexmark color laser printer set for label printing and the cards came out clean...even with me printing on both sides. I used the manual feed and put each sheet through once for the front of the card and again for the back of the card. I don't yet know what the longevity of the print is, but I'm not too concerned with that, since I believe most people use business cards for a reference to input the information into their own electronic system and toss the card into a desk drawer, file, or the trash can. It sure beats handwriting the information for them. As far as separating the cards from each other, I was amazed how cleanly they came apart. I followed the directions on the sheet, 'fold this side inward', which it indicates is very important, and they just snapped apart from the outer edge of the sheet and each other. I am truly impressed and don't know why this would have presented a problem for anyone.

In comparison, some cards I've had before from professional printing companies were on slightly heavier cardstock, but these have a good presentation and certainly fit the bill for my present needs. Based on my viewpoint of a business card's purpose this day and age, I don't know that I will ever switch to professionally printed cards so long as these stay reasonably priced and maintain their quality. If I do switch to professionally printed cards later, these will serve well for printing temporary cards for new hires.

This review is from: Avery White Clean Edge Two Sided Laser Business Cards, 2 x 3.5 Inches, Box of 400 (5877) (Office Product)

This Avery business card stock should be called instant business cards for that it was it truly is. With a few simple steps to set up your word processor file, you can quickly produce as many or as few professional appearing business cards. The page of cards sticks together firmly and goes through the printer (well, mine anyway) without any breaking or jamming. The color sticks as cleanly as it does for any paper. And then, once you have it all printed up, just break the cards out - they come out without any ugly tabs. And voila, you have a group of high quality business cards!

It probably sounds like I am going a bit over the top, right? Well, in fact, just recently I needed some business cards, and I was able to create a batch with this product in a matter of minutes. I was very pleased with the results, and think that this product is tops. I give it my highest recommendations!
