Question: Why raised letter as opposed to other types of business cards?

In today's business environment, we feel that our professional raised letter business cards will give you a competitive edge since they don't look or feel like they were made on someone's desktop computer. Remember, "Don't let your first impression be a firm handshake and a lousy business card!"

Question: Is there a difference between raised letter, raised print, raised ink and thermography business cards?

No. We use these terms interchangeably throughout the website, they all mean the same thing... business cards with thermographically raised ink!

Question: Do you do any other types of raised letter work?

Yes, however we only do them upon request. If you are in need of letterhead or other thermography work, please send us an email. The reason we don't publically offer these other types of printed products is so that we can concentrate completely on business cards in order to provide superior quality, customer service, and the lowest prices.

Question: Do I need to have an account in order to create or purchase a business card?

No, you do not need an account to create and purchase a business card. However, we do recommend you create an account as doing so will allow you to store your billing and shipping information, save cards, and access previously saved cards in your My Cards area.

Question: Why is one type of card stock more expensive than another?

We offer a variety of card stocks to our customers, and some simply cost more than others. As an example, our premium linen paper is an 80# paper (just like all of our stocks), but has a linen grain which offers a more textured feel over any of the other non-premium card stocks.

Card Creators

 


Question: What's the difference between the T-Rex Wizard and the Standard Card Creator?

After moving to our new proprietary Raised Business Card Designer, we have discontinued the use of our old T-Rex Wizard. Both card creators (the original Wizard and Standard Card Creator) have been combined into a single, powerful yet easy-to-use system that utilizes the newest web technologies such as JQuery and HTML5. The new card creation system can be viewed in virtually any browser or device (including your iPad, iPhone, Andriod phone, or Android tablet), and makes it even simpler to create beautiful raised business cards on the fly in just minutes!

Question: What's the purpose of saving a business card design?

Saving a business card design offers you a number of advantages. If you are interrupted while creating a card, you can save it and then return to the My Cards section to resume editing at a more convenient time. Saving a card also allows you to easily re-order and edit information should you need to update your business card at any time. All this can be done from the My Cards area so long as you have an account and are logged in.
