Eco-friendly business cards don't come cheap, I discovered a while back. But just in time for the BlogHer conference later this month, eco-cards have gotten a lot more affordable, with Moo.com entering the eco business card business!
Now, you can get 50 business cards-- printed on 100% post-consumer chlorine-free recycled paper -- for $21.99. These prices, you'll note, aren't actually less expensive than those from eco-friendly business card companies I've written about before. However, while those companies require that you commit to at least 500 cards or so -- driving up the upfront cost -- Moo.com lets anyone with $25 or so get their hands on all-recycled business cards.
Unfortunately, the ink used by Moo.com is not veggie-based; Moo.com says such eco-friendly inks aren't available yet for digital print. However, Moo.com points out other eco-features of digital printing: No film separations or plates -- and the chemicals used with them -- are employed in the printing process. Plus, since orders can be for as little as 50 cards, there's less chance of paper waste created by overordering.
Like Moo's already-popular minicards, these new business cards let you print a different image on each card. And while Moo also offers a "classic," virgin paper option, the "green" paper doesn't cost any more.
So opt for the "green" option while you prep for BlogHer. That's you, Loralee C, who's just ordered some Moo mini cards and is thinking about getting regular sized ones -- but doesn't yet seem to know that Moo regulars are available! Marilyn Porter of Slackermama also plans to be at BlogHer -- and has vowed to pass out and collect a lotta biz cards. And No Pasa Nana, who also plans to attend, has this to say about prepping for BlogHer: "Here’s my motto: Be prepared. Also, get some damn cards."
