Better Business Cards In Cambodia Than Thailand?

[jan1van1hooten]

I was quoted about $10.00 US for an order of 100 business cards in Chiang Mai.

The the same order is $5.00 in Phnom Penh. It was one color on standard stock both sides printed.

The paper stock I was offered in thailand was a bit slick.

Slick paper is a bad choice for business cards because being able to write on the card is very important.

Ink smears.

I got a choice of many paper stocks in Phnom Penh: some cream white, some with tooth (i.e., writeable)

Cambodian service was good and fast. the printers are easy to deal with.

It may take a little longer because a lot of business owners leave a couple of teenage girls in charge of the place when they go out shopping.

So it may take two or three days to complete the process.

Hmmm 2 to 3 days of having to talk to a couple of teenage girls.

Sounds terrible

Yeah I am not sure why the biz cards are so expensive in Bkk. I ended up design and printing my own and it is same or better than the ones you get from the shops (one sided or both sides)

Time is money - is an extra $5 worth 2-3 days of your time?

I get my cards from Jack Graphic Design in CM.
