Starting Price for 100 Cards $12

PSPrint has less of a laser focus on business cards than some competitors like Vistaprint: The company prints everything from banners to magnets to stickers. But its card offerings are ample, and it's one of only two online business card printing services we've tested to offer die-cut options, which can give your cards a distinctive shape. PSPrint's design options are respectable, its prices are very reasonable, and the service delivered a quality product in our testing.

Pricing and Starting Up

PSPrint's pricing is a bit hard to nail down, since everything appears on the ordering page with a 60 percent discount—this was the case over several weeks testing, so it isn't a one-shot deal. It also held for multiple orders over that time span. The least-expensive option for my test card job cost just $8.06 for 50 cards on glossy C1S 14-pt. stock, after the applied discount to the purported $20.15 list price. (C1S means it's coated on one side and the "pt" stands for 1,000th of an inch, so 14 pt. is 0.014 inches thick.)

That means PSPrint has the lowest-cost entry price among the online card printers I tested. The next cheapest service I tested, GotPrint, charges only $8.30 for its minimum order of 100 cards. For 500 cards, you pay less than 2 cents per card at GotPrint, 3.3 cents at PSPrint, 4 cents at Vistaprint, and 25 cents at MOO (for 600, since MOO oddly doesn't offer a 500 quantity). With PSPrint, you pay more for faster production turnaround, so if you're willing to wait a few days longer, you can save on costs. If you can't wait even a day, consider Staples($9.99 for 250 Business Cards at Staples Copy and Print), which offers same-day card printing for pickup.

At the higher end, PSPrint offers 120 lb. Ultra cards starting at $31.90 for a 25 count. You can also choose Slim (3.5 by 1 inch), Jumbo Square (2.5 by 2.5 inch), and Mini Square (2 by 2 inch) sizes. Except for Jumbo Square, the optional shapes cost slightly less than the standard size; Jumbo Square costs double what Standard does.

The most expensive order type features full color on both sides, Jumbo Square shape, and Soft Touch 15 pt. Velvet cardstock. This costs $71.32 for the minimum 250 card order for that quality. That's a good deal, compared with $49.99 for just 50 similar cards from MOO—PSPrint's per card cost for this high-end order is 28.5 cents, compared with nearly a dollar for MOO. Even bumping the MOO order up to 200 (250 isn't an option) only brings the per-card cost down to 84 cents. Vistaprint's similarly specced cards run just $49.50, or 19.8 cents per card and GotPrint charges just $39.94, or 16 cents per card.

Other PSPrint Products

Like MOO, PSPrint mostly sticks with paper printing, but there's a good range of products in that realm, with banners, booklets, letterhead, notepads, and stickers among its offerings. Non-paper printed materials you can buy from PSPrint include coasters and magnets. Vistaprint extends the possibilities to include clothing, drinkware, and even USB flash drives. Like GotPrint and Vistaprint, PSPrint does offer professional design services if your needs exceed your artistic talents. PSPrint's business card design services start at $90, while Vistaprint's start at $10, though the latter doesn't include the price of the printing and cardstock.

PSPrint Card Designer

Designing Your Business Cards Online

PSPrint lets you browse its selection of over 250 card templates for inspiration. Alternatively, you can upload a design in JPG, TIF, PDF, PS, EPS, or PNG format. The templates look good and modern—more so than GotPrint's, though they are not quite as slick as MOO's.

The card-designing interface is clear and intuitive, with a left panel for adding text, images, objects, and lines. A second tab on the same panel lets you switch templates. You can freely move text boxes and images around the card, unlike with MOO, which locks you into its template layouts.

I missed Vistaprint's ability to snap to align text boxes with other existing elements. Without this, you have to eyeball elements to align them, though PSPrint does show grids and an optional ruler. Undo and Redo arrows are helpful for correcting things when you goof a step in the design process. PSPrint conveniently saves images you upload for use later.

You can change the design template after entering info, and the service saves your previous options in the Recently Used tab. When I entered my information on one card and then started over with a completely new design choice, PSPrint preserved my contact details, which is helpful. You get over 40 font choices, a bigger selection than GotPrint offers, though fewer than MOO's 48.

Results, Shipping, and Print Quality

For both of my two test orders (entry-level and high-end), I received an email immediately upon ordering and then again five business days after placing the order telling me that it had shipped. That fits exactly with my 5-day turnaround option. My Vistaprint order arrived in only three days, but I can't fault PSPrint for delivering exactly what it promisted. You can pay more for faster turnaround. I tested both the most basic 14 pt. C1S Gloss Cover option and the top-end 100 lb. Brilliant White Linen Cover cardstock. The latter arrived just two business days later in a well-cushioned box within a box—the standard packaging you associate with business cards. It didn't have the fanfare of MOO's nearly museum-quality packaging, but it was perfectly well protected.

My Linen test cards were beautifully printed, with crisp and well-filled-in text, and the photo and logo had accurate colors. If I were to choose again, however, I'd avoid Linen, since the texture distorts the photo, and it's not quite as thick and impressive as triple-ply cards from MOO and GotPrint.

The entry-level order arrived just one day after I got the order-complete email, and it sported well-printed text and logo—better than what both GotPrint and MOO did at their cheapest levels. The cardstock was also better than GotPrint's admittedly inexpensive $8.30 order, but not quite as nice as Vistaprint's entry-level cards. PSPrint's font choices enabled me to get the large NYPD font closest to the requisite Rockwell Extra Bold used by that organization.

Quality Business Cards

PSPrint's pleases with its pricing, web interface for designing custom cards, and many options. Furthermore, it delivers well-printed cards on high-quality cardstock. Our online business card printing service Editor's Choice, Vistaprint, has a slight edge when it comes to the card-designing web interface and the quality of the delivered product, however.

My Experience

I've been testing PC and mobile software for more than 20 years, focusing on photo and video editing, operating systems, and web browsers. Prior to my current role, I covered software and apps for ExtremeTech and headed up PCMag’s enterprise software team. I’ve attended trade shows for Microsoft, Google, and Apple and written about all of them and their products.

I still get a kick out of seeing what's new in video and photo editing software, and how operating systems change over time. I was privileged to byline the cover story of the last print issue of PC Magazine, the Windows 7 review, and I’ve witnessed every Microsoft misstep and win, up to the latest Windows 11.

I’m an avid bird photographer and traveler—I’ve been to 40 countries, many with great birds! Because I’m also a classical music fan and former performer, I’ve reviewed streaming services that emphasize classical music.

Technology I Use

For everyday work, I use a good-old Dell tower with 16GB of RAM, a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, and an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti GPU that runs on Windows 11. I pair it with a 4K Lenovo ThinkVision P27u-10 monitor and a Logitech MX Vertical mouse. For offsite work, I use a 2024 Microsoft Surface Laptop with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. Camera-wise, I moved to mirrorless from a Canon EOS 80D with a Canon 70-300mm IS USM lens. I now have a Canon EOS R7 with a 100-400mm lens, but I miss my DSLR for several reasons.

In order of usage, the software I turn to most frequently is the Edge web browser, Slack, Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, Firefox, Brave, and WhatsApp. I use the Windows Phone link app to see everything on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, which has excellent telephoto capability.

For fitness monitoring, I have a Fitbit Charge 6 and use an Anker Smart Scale P1. I’m also a streaming fan, so I subscribe to both Amazon Music Unlimited (especially for its Dolby Atmos content) and Qobuz (for its high-res sound quality and classical catalog). I recently added a Vizio 5.1 Soundbar SE, which sounds surprisingly good given its low price. To holler commands instead of using a remote control, I have the Amazon Fire TV Cube in the living room, which lets me verbally tell the TV what I want to watch. It hooks up to an LG B4 OLED TV. I have a Sonos One speaker in my kitchen that also ties in with Alexa, as does the Echo Dot 2 With Clock in my bedroom. For serious listening, I have B&W 601 speakers plugged into a Conrad-Johnson Sonographe amp and preamp, with a Cambridge Audio AXN10 streamer as source. For reading, I also have a Nook GlowLight 3.
