Celebrity Cards competition

May 2012, by Dan H | 22 Comments – latest by Anthony

We’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Business Cards here at MOO (no surprises there) and love seeing all the different designs that get sent to Big MOO to print – you really are a creative bunch you know!

This got us thinking about the cards we don’t see and what famous characters’ cards might look like. Kicking things off with Zeus, because the King of the Gods seemed like a good place to start, we settled on the following design:

Not bad hey?

Still, it’s not fair for us to have all the fun, so we want to see your designs! Given that designing some cool cards for the Zeus is on par …Continue reading this article…

Turnaround Time: Which option is best for you?

May 2012, by Dan | Add a comment

MOO ships orders to countries all over the world, from two continents – North America and Europe. We ship orders to countries as far away as South Korea, areas as remote as the Cook Islands and to offices as close as next door to our UK office.

Wherever you are, it’s very important that you choose the best turnaround options to suit your needs. Rather than babble on about all the options available, we thought we’d group these into three easy rules of thumb:
I have a tight deadline
Whether it is a wedding, a trade show or an important meeting – it is imperative that you choose the fastest possible option, or you run the risk of turning up empty handed (d’oh!).

First of all, if …Continue reading this article…

May 2012, by Rebeka | 1 Comment – latest by marie-ancolie R

We launched The Luxe Project back in February and so far we’ve had two amazing designers, our very own Creative Director Dan Rubin, and Michael Osbourne of Kettle Chip and USPS LOVE Stamps fame. This month we are pleased to welcome Katie Barcelona to the roster as our third Luxe Project designer.

Paper engineering at MOO HQ

May 2012, by Dan H | 2 Comments – latest by LilyNrman

You may have noticed from our Facebook galleries that we’ve been playing with paper a lot recently here at MOO HQ. It started with a couple of workshops run by Helen Friel, introducing us to paper engineering, and ended with the perfect brief for our design team to put their newly learnt skills to good use!

The first workshop focused on the technical side of things – folding paper and making pop up cards, while the second workshop turned our attention to the more creative elements of paper engineering – cutting paper and building layered dioramas.

Here’s some of the MOO Crew …Continue reading this article…

32,000 years of sharing and communication

April 2012, by Dan H | Add a comment

Given that we’ve offered Double MOOlah to celebrate referring a friend this month, it’s been all about communication and sharing in MOO HQ. We started by asking what the strangest gifts were that  you’ve ever received and then moved on to giving away a pot of MOOlah on Twitter.

Of course, the next logical step was to create an infographic on the subject, and has absolutely nothing to do with the fact we just like making them. So, without further ado, here’s 32,000 years of sharing and communication wrapped up nicely in a single image:

Introducing the MOO InDesign extension

April 2012, by Dan H | 30 Comments – latest by Jyoti

If you’re a graphic designer, there’s a good chance you use Adobe InDesign.  It’s a mighty piece of software good for creating books, magazines, posters, newsletters and, yes, business cards.

And if you use InDesign to create MOO Business Cards (or MiniCards or Postcards), your life is about to get just a little bit easier.

We’ve created an extension for InDesign which allows you to create and import your designs into MOO all from within InDesign itself.


Here’s how it works:

Select ‘MOO/New/Business Card’ from the InDesign menu.
A perfectly-sized empty business card will appear.
Design your business card pack.
There are menu options to add more sides and change from ‘details’ to ’image’ sides (or from …Continue reading this article…
