Wonderful :-))

Bit more useful information I can file away, thanks for the info.

Susceptibility to damp is relatively easily fixed by laminating the
cards, which also makes them much more durable.

Indeed - but that makes them more expensive than getting them printed
properly in the first place.

and if anyone is interested, I noticed an A4 Laminator at Morrisons/Safeways
yesterday for £19.99 and for the pouches etc, I would recommend Viking
Direct. Mail order delivered to your door next day for orders placed before
8.00pm! carriage free for orders over £30.00

I know what you are saying, but it doesn't hurt anybody to show a little
appreciation, some positive feedback from the boss, when a job has been
well
done, goes a long way. Just a simple, "Good job done today lads!" would
be
good enough. That's what's been galling my fiance the most with his
last
two bosses - they have shown no appreciation whatsoever.


Tracey, I had 2 factories with a staff of 23. My office was in one of them
and whenever someone clocked out/went home, I thanked them. This started
when I was in charge of a department in industry before setting up on my
own. Under NO circumstances, could "I" as an indevidual turn out the work
'by myself'. I needed staff, I recognised the fact and thanked them.
However, some people feel that it is below their dignity to say 'Thank
you'
to a subordinate. (and that starts another thing!!)

You sound like a smashing boss to have worked for, if only there were more
like you around! Sir John Harvey-Jones certainly had the right idea too!


However, 'IF' and 'WHEN' he does take on staff, (think twice in this day
and
age) I hope he will say thank you to them :-))

Mike


He sure will, and knowing my fella, he'll buy them a regular pint or three
(after work's done for the day of course!) too )

Only from a laser printer. Inkjet printed business cards/ leaflets
quickly fade, run when wet, and generally become indecipherable.

I've thought about buying a laminator as I've seen one quite cheap. I think
it makes business cards look more professional, as well as protecting from
damp and dirt.

Possibly, but if someone wants to knock out a few cards at home using
existing kit, laminating ink-jet or laser printed cards will make them
extremely durable.

I had worked for some pretty grim bosses. Mainly in the public sector and
Civil Service. I always resolved that I would treat my staff as 'I' would
wish to be treated, and it worked. I don't mince my words and in 99.99% of
cases, people appreciate it. However, there is always the .01%, but you can
always put them in their place :-))

Best wishes and good luck

If your fiancee and colleagues are going to be working in the grounds of
commercial or public premises, the contracts may well require display of ID
badges. Easily knocked up with a decent laminator. Also, small posters or
cards put on notice boards or in windows last longer and look better if
laminated. Written instructions for use of kit last longer if laminated,
etc., etc. I'm pretty sure a decent laminator would prove useful in most
'offices'.

I am not a laminator producer or salesman, by the way :-)
