You’d think that the staff at the Staples Copy & Print Shop would have better cards! I mean, they are in the biz, are they not?

Both cards pictured are plagued with bad typography, colour inconsistency, bizarre thermography patterns, and pathetically thin card stock that feels entirely wimpy in hand. Also, two people from the same store don’t even have the same card. What’s going on here? Total fail.

  1. They do print things, so yes, they are in the biz, but they are far from being a proper printer.

    I don’t actually find this surprising. These retail stores often slap a graphic design badge on any of their employees who know how to use a glow and bevel filter. I’d imagine that a large chain like Staples would have some sort of style sheet (guide).

    Let’s blame the store manager on this one, maybe he has yet to be trained in quality control.

  2. I had business cards printed at Staples copy and print and they came out great, very happy with the product. Staples does stand behind it’s products, if your not happy w/ the cards, I’m sure you can return them and have them redone.

  3. This bogus site is a testament to a fool. I have been to the Staples store and have been treated very well. The products and the printing have been excellent

  4. It’s not that Staples is a bad store, we’d just expect a more creative business card is all. No love lost.
