During my bachelor’s internship last year, a colleague introduced me to some Moo samples. During my previous art conventions, I started to look for local deals and bundles for my business cards. None of the offers convinced me because none of them worked with some specific requirements, and I was on a low budget. That’s why I decided to try for the first time of Moo’s printing service.
Moo is a printing industry that offers a variety of customized products such as crafted business stationery and promotional materials. They cover lots of paper stock like matte, glossy, and even eco-friendly ones. The gold foil, spot-gloss, and paper+ NFC are even a bonus. They also offer cardholders, cases, and boxes for business cards.
Before anything, starting with a sample pack is a great idea if you aren’t sure about sizes and texture. It is not the same as seeing something from the monitor of the computer versus having the actual product in your hand. They do offer a sample of business cards with different materials, sizes, and finishes.
This is probably the third or fourth time I have ordered from them, and the reason why I continue with them is due to these 2 characteristics: they offer multiple designs without extra cost and round corners. So what are the mini business cards, you ask?
The product is amazing, from an interesting size, crispy colors, and soft surface (I chose the original material). Even with such an affordable price, I recommend it to any artist who wants to surprise their clients with such a cute and peculiar business card.
Usually, most business cards are thin, and the ink can be easily scratched since these are inexpensive products (depending on MOQ), that can be produced compared to printing a book; due to its complexity, materials, and procedures.
These mini-cards are thick, which means they are resistant to being easily bent. I tried scratching them softly, and the image quality didn’t get damaged compared to regular business cards. So this is a bonus feature if you are considering trying Moo business cards. The quality is amazing.
One of the great features Moo has is that they have available templates to customize their products as well as a design interface where you can also design your merch online, and store them in their system for re-orders. Their system also divides the designs when you have multiple artworks for your business cards. So, if you have for art pieces for a batch of 100 mini business cards, the system will divide them into 25 sets each design.
Their packaging is simple with recyclable material, a beautiful silver foil message, and an embossed logo on the lid of the box. The mini cards are organized with a patterned tape from Moo and additionally contain a curious mini card with the details of the order (instead of an invoice).
Previously, their nice packaging included a small white box (if I am not mistaken, it was sort of a fake leather material, that with time and lack of care deteriorated) that came along with the business cards when shipped back then. In 2024, they ship your mini cards in a white recyclable card box with silver foil (letters).
The prices were affordable, and the shipping was ok. They even offered discounts and bundles for students and professionals.
Loved the idea that they manage several paper stocks, with a few bonuses like gloss, spot-gloss, and gold foil.
It depends on the product. They have minimum quantities established for each product.
Recently I noticed that my batch had some errors on my cards (not made by me, but by the software or print device from the company.) I checked twice the proof-preview PDF and everything seemed correct. But once the mini cards arrived, my social icons were near the bottom of the card, and the title was way far from the top margin. Also, some images were misaligned on the card. I contacted them, and they agreed to send me a second batch corrected within a week. I was pleased.
If you want something fresh, and flexible with a lot of things to do and experiment with, then Moo is the site for you. The flexibility for the quantities of the designs, the packages that caught me off guard, and the varieties and possibilities of the products for your promotional and branding area are endless.
