FLORAL BRANCHES in LIGHT GRAY Business Card

The card is even nicer than I expected. I had a definite objective: a card I can use as I travel to do family history research. One side has a photo and contact info and side 2 lists my ancestral surnames and locations I'm researching. So there is a lot of info on the card but it all fit and my layout looks really good. Quality of the paper (regular) is excellent. I am very impressed! I worked on colors because the photo I used is b&w. Bright colors didn't look good so I chose 2 muted colors in addition to black. They look great, what I was hoping for. The photo is very clear. I am very happy with the quality of the cards.

I loved the platinum paper, itself, very much. I was unable to see the exact effect of the platinum paper when looking at my proof online. It has a lot of reflective property to it which makes it a bit difficult to read the print. Moreso, it almost makes the design completely disappear. I wanted it to be subtle, but it was much more subtle than I was hoping for. Next time I will order with a cheaper paper, which will actually make everything pop more on the cards.

Zazzle provides a way to modify the card designs & that is very useful. My order arrived 2 weeks from tthe order date. The card looks great. I would have liked some more design options such as stock images, such as some wedding rings, which I would have liked to include on my business card. Packaging - one suggestion for improvement - post in a sturdy postal box. Mine were in a small box, inside a flat postal bag. During postage the box had been squashed & all my 100 cards were loose inside the postal bsg. Fortunately none were damaged. Looks great. Option to have raised letters would be a welcome additionsl option.
