Walgreens 5x5 Photo Cards Review

Walgreens has added a 5" square photo card to it's selection of photo printing options. The cards are sold starting in groups of 20. They come with 20 envelopes. I recently had the opportunity to get 20 cards for free. Here are my impressions.

1) The quality of print is very good. The photos are printed on card stock.

2) You are able to select from various templates, including a single photo. Templates range from thankyou, birthday, wedding, graduation to one single photo. I chose the single photo with no text for the front.

3) You can add a small photo and text on the back. Cool. You could print your message, address, phone number, etc. on back. My cards look equally good - front and back. On the back, you do get a small "Walgreens" logo centered at the bottom. It is small enough not to be a problem.

4) The envelopes fit the cards and are plain white, fairly thin paper, but sufficient.

I printed one of my photos with my name and address on back. I will use as an advertisement for my photography. Overall I am please with the quality. The delivery took a little over a week using the standard US mail option.

Twenty cards would normally cost approximately $30. This seems a little pricy, but the ability to personalize a card and have it professionally printed may appeal to some at this price.

Moo Cards

I just received my 50 moo business cards from moo. I ordered 50 business cards, each with a different photo. I uploaded an image of my name and address for the other side. It took some experimentation to get the image to work with the card size, but after several edits I was able to get it to fit.

I choose Classic paper which has a matte laminate finish, and is silky and faintly reflective.

The cards are beautiful. They are very substantial. The colors turned out well. They are obviously die cut. They feel very smooth and silky in your hand. It is a very fine paper and finish. I am very happy with them. So happy that I hesitate to give them away.
