While I wish the website were a little easier to use (lots of confusing options in lots of drop down menus), I can't fault the service, speed, or price. They say you can't get good, fast, and cheap, but PrintSafari delivered all three. The trading cards I ordered were perfect and I can't imagine how they could be any better. I'll definitely be ordering from PrintSafari again.

I had ordered custom trading cards before from a different printer, but wanted to give PrintSafari a try since the prices were significantly better. I am happy to report that the quality of the cards was every bit as good as the other vendor and the speed of delivery was also exceptional. I will definitely use PrintSafari in the future. The one issue I had was with the cropping of my uploaded images. I used the same layout/files that I had used previously with the different vendor in which I assumed I had the correct bleed area defined, etc. however when I got the cards from PrintSafari, they were cropped much closer to the artwork than I had expected. The cards are still usable, but I will need to adjust the safe zone before my next order. If there was a way for me to see or preview the card, or if Printsafari could provide pixel and size guidelines that would definitely help. I am not a designer by trade, so it's a bit of a guessing game for me. Thanks, though - the cards are great!"
