The Details:

Choose any of our stocks, including the eco-friendly cover stock (13 pt. Cover Uncoated – Recycled) or the the 14 pt. family in Matte, AQ, or UV at any custom size we offer such as square cards, odd sizes like 3×3, 2×2.

Uprinting.com is an online printer that does lots of custom business card printing and offers eco friendly printing options – which is a plus!

Leave a comment telling me what crazy and cool things you would use your card for, and I will semi-randomly pick 4 winners – each receiving 250 free cards! Deadline is Friday August 29th at midnight.

(make sure that your email is right when you leave a comment!)

Huzzah!
