Linen business card order satisfaction.
Sep 9, 2026 | Melanie D. |
Verified Buyer
I am not fully satisfied with the recent order of business cards. I chose the linen paper thinking it would be more textured than it is. Also the card paper itself is thinner than expected and the card is smaller than expected.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the business cards didn’t meet your expectations, particularly regarding the texture, thickness, and size. We understand how disappointing it can be when the finished product feels different from what you anticipated. As stated on our product page, these cards are made from 16pt Fine Italian paper and measure 3.5" x 2". For future orders, if your design is crisp and airy, linen can be a great option, as simpler designs allow the unique texture of the paper to stand out more. We appreciate your feedback and hope this information helps with your future selections.

Linen is not as sharp as other cards

When I saw the picture of the card before I approved it, it looked amazing! Now that I have them in my hands, it does not look as good. I’ve tried all sorts of business cards, and they all look great and like the picture to be approved, but the linen ones are not good. Waste of money.

Great.

Printing Issue

Verified Buyer
I ordered 250 business cards and about 50 of them had red printed ink all over them, and a couple were printed with a different business's card design. Luckily, it was refunded with no issues. On the brightside, the cards that did not have the errors look and feel wonderful!
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We sincerely apologize for the printing issues you experienced, including the ink transfer and the incorrectly printed cards. We understand how disappointing this must have been. We’re glad to hear our team was able to assist you, and we appreciate your positive comments about the quality and feel of the cards that were printed correctly. At this time, no further action is required, but please know we truly value your feedback and are here if you need any additional assistance in the future.
