    I need a printer to provide our new cards. 2 designs, 2 colours (pantone 485 & black) I don't want rounded corners but do want a level of transparency so the black txt is visible through the red. Anyone interested? Were looking at an initial short run of 200 of each design. Quote me happy!! lol

    As an after thought, would this possible on a thick window sticker type material so the card itself can be squashed up but return to shape?....

    @ ianbonner: Oh an I'm on a budget of £3 but you could put it in your portfolio so it's ok...

    I'm still looking for someone who can help with this.

    It seems that square corners are hard to come by on plastic business cards!...

    Dave,
    Try this company:
    http://www.plasticbusinesscards.co.u...tic_cards.html

    I've just done a google search for you and they seem to know what they are doing.
    The reason your struggling to find square corners is for health and safety issues.

    Good luck.

    I cant believe how hard this seems to be. It's hard to explain so heres a mock up...



    I've found a company in the USA who will do square corners but only single colour single sided...

    Having seen the example I think you'll understand why I cant settle for rounded corners so should I just sack off the 2 colour idea, reverse the web address out like the contact details and get it printed in the Florida??

    Holy hell! Ive just had a quote back! £200 for 2x150 + £100 for a special tool to cut the square edges!!! I think my design needs some adjusting as thats just obscene!

    Ask the supplier if they already have a cutter of the same spec. Then ask what is the closest size - may not need a custom cutter if the design dimensions could be adjusted.
