Verified Buyer

They dont print 2 sided gloss business cards

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the finish on your flyers, and we regret that the gloss coating was not applied as you had expected. For future orders, we recommend reviewing the product specifications carefully to confirm whether finishes like gloss or matte are applied to one side or both sides. We have completed our checks and have emailed you details regarding a resolution that has been provided to you, and we look forward to assisting with any future product or design-related queries.

We're happy but not fully

We found the online assistance to be excellent, even though we experienced some stability issues with the chat crashing, which required us to speak with four different representatives. Despite that, every person we interacted with was helpful and courteous. We also received our order earlier than expected, which was a great experience. The only issue we encountered was with the print quality. Our design included a word cloud as the background, but it is barely visible. Initially, we thought it might be a problem with our design, but since this was a double-sided flyer—and while the front is difficult to read, the back is nearly impossible—it seems more likely to be a printing issue. Overall, this was our only concern, and it’s why we are giving a 4-star rating.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for your thoughtful review of the Custom Flyers. We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with our support team and that your order arrived earlier than expected. We appreciate your feedback regarding the chat stability. Your comments are valuable and have been shared with our team as we continue working to improve both our support experience. Furthermore, we regret hearing that the print quality on parts of the flyers was lighter than expected. To help us assist you more effectively, please reply to this email with photos displaying the issue. If your request is urgent, and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/. We look forward to working with you.

Customer service was excellent. They helped me make corrections for my own oversight. The person who assisted me was very professional. I would definitely recommend it, and the prices are very reasonable.

Paper thin

Verified Buyer

I honestly expected a better quality paper for "Standard". their is 1000 of them though, unlike my business cards which their were only 470 out of 500.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that your Custom Flyers did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the paper thickness of the Standard option. Our Standard paper stock is intended as an economical choice, but we recognize it may not always align with every customer’s expectations for feel and durability. We also appreciate you mentioning that the full quantity of 1,000 flyers was received, especially in contrast to your previous business card order. Your comments about both quality and consistency are valuable to us, and we’ll be sure to share them with the appropriate teams for review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better one in the future.

No more guesswork. We take care of the entire design process, from brainstorming ideas to delivering the files to your account.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. If you have a design all ready to go, you’ll be able to upload it after you select your size and orientation options.

We accept the following file formats: .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .png, .gif, .heic, .tif, .tiff, .pdf, .psd, .ai, .ait, .ppt and .pptx.

All our glossy and matte flyers are coated on both sides, except for our 14pt and 16pt glossy papers, which are only coated on the front. Our recycled and uncoated papers are uncoated. If you're writing on glossy or matte papers, we recommend you use a permanent marker – for recycled paper and uncoated, we recommend using a ballpoint pen.

To create an eye-catching and effective flyer, we recommend you keep the following 3 tips in mind:

Use no more than 2 fonts. Too many text styles make a design look less professional – and it’s harder to read and understand.

Make your headline count. You only have a few seconds to get someone’s attention. Make your headline simple, clear and easy to read.

A good photo goes a long way. You know the expression about a picture being worth 1,000 words? It’s true. Huge blocks of text can be intimidating – use a great photo to help tell your story and invite a reader in.
