Moo Conclusion

Offering professional graphic designs and high card quality, Moo is a great service for printing business cards online.  However, the price for Moo business cards is relatively high according to our Market Standard, and the cards don’t have the quickest turnaround time.  But, if you’re willing to pay the price and can afford to wait, you’ll be able to create professional, unique business cards.

Designing Your Card

Moo offers over 500 “Ready Made” packs with themed images, created by professional graphic designers, and all you need to do is fill in your contact information.  Additionally, Moo offers a gallery of premium images and graphics that you can use to customize your card.  Moo also lets you print in full color with customer images on the back of your card for free, which is standard among high quality business card companies.  You can also upload images for free.  Unlike most business card printing companies, Moo lets you upload up to 50 images to be used on your business cards, with one image used on each card.  Moo’s default card size is 2.2” x 3.3”, which make for a squarer card than the standard 2” x 3.5” business card.

We rated Moo’s Design Tool a 3 out of 5 stars.  Moo gives you a simple editor with pre-defined fields and preview screen to help you create your cards.  The editor gives you the ability to change template layouts, alignments and text justifications, as well as the ability to move or realign the text on your template.  However, they don’t let you add unlimited text fields.  Because the editor is not a WYSIWYG, you cannot drag and drop text or images or draw manually on the card.

Card Quality

We rated Moo’s Card Quality a 5 out of 5 stars.  According to our test, the card held its shape when bent and did not crease.  The card felt sturdy and thick.  You could write on the card easily, but the writing tended to smudge a bit due to the laminated finish.  

Cardstock, Finishes & Upgrades

Moo’s default card stock is 16 point, which is the thickest card stock available.  The default card finish is Matte Laminate, and they do not offer regular matte or glossy cards.  They do, however, offer recycled paper card stock.  In addition to standard paper business cards, Moo also offers personalized “mini cards,” postcards, card holders, mini card frames, envelopes and stickers.

Pricing & Turnaround Time

Moo costs 35 cents/card for 200 business cards, which is relatively high according to our Market Standard.  The total cost of your order would be $69.99.  As with most online business card printing services, you can save money by purchasing cards in bulk.  We paid an additional $6 for shipping at the lowest cost shipping option.  The actual turnaround time for our cards was 15 days, which is a bit slower than the Market Standard eight to 12 day turnaround.  They also offer 1st class, Priority and Express shipping options.
