Avery CleanEdge White-Linen Business Cards for Inkjet Printers (8873, 3.5x2, 200 Cards)

These business cards for inkjet printers are great. They are easy to make and have a cool professional textured feel to them. They work well in inkjet printers which I've tried and their software available online is easy to use and great for getting your name and contact info out or promoting an event or product.

The Avery labels were exactly as advertised. I have used them for years and they always work well.

Items arrived as described - brand new - great price - fast ship. THANK YOU!

Avery is living on its reputation, and like other companies that try this, their reputation is going down fast...

Cards can only be printed one side (no indication of this on box or in literature); also, they had problems w/ink spotting (not printer related).

I convinced people that I could make business cards for them, and invested in the software and paper. Software worked outstanding, but this paper looked little better than standard copier bond. The thickness is minimal, and the texture is just on one side. I invested in Avery's most expensive product and it came up very short. They need to do much better.

I used these labels for my wedding placecards. They're perfectly sized, separate easily, and do indeed separate with nice clean edges. I had two issues with the Avery template for MS Word, however.

For one thing, I didn't notice the note in the top right corner of the Avery packaging that tells you to use a different Microsoft template number other than 8871, which is the product number for this specific product. So I wasted some time searching for the Avery 8871 template in MS Word and on the Avery website.

When I finally figured out that I just had to select a different template number in Word, I laid out my design, did a mail merge using my guest name and table number info from Excel (which also took me awhile to figure out), and did a test print on regular paper. Everything looked fine, even when I held it behind one of the Avery sheets to make sure that the alignment was correct. However, starting with the 3rd sheet and on the remaining 13 sheets that I printed, I was incredibly dismayed to see that the content on the last 3 rows of cards shifted up so that part of my content was printed on the row above, if that makes any sense.

This issue could probably be avoided if you a) don't have your design laid out too close to the edge and b) follow the instructions to feed only one sheet at a time. I'm not sure if that would fix the issue, but at least you could see it coming and take care of it on the subsequent sheet. I was in a crunch and didn't have time to feed the sheets one at a time, or have time to print do-overs on the other side, since it's a 2-sided product.

So, four stars for the quality and look of the cards themselves (although I think they're a bit thin for use as a business card, but perfect for a placecard) and minus one star for my template and alignment issues.
