Your Business Card Is Still the Most Personal Marketing You Do
Business cards are exchanged in the moments that matter — after a pitch, at a networking event, following a handshake. They are the physical extension of your first impression, and the one piece of marketing material people actually hold in their hands.
A thin card on flimsy stock signals something about your business. So does a well-printed card on premium 16pt stock with a matte finish that feels substantial. The difference in printing cost between the two is less than you think. The difference in impression is significant.
At MCI, we print business cards the same way we print everything — with offset precision, on paper that earns its keep, with color accuracy that matches your brand. We have been doing this in St. Louis since 1984.
Business Card Printing Options
