In my experience Dropcards.com aren’t the cheapest way of producing download cards, mainly because they are based in the US, however the products they make are top quality so if your looking for something with a bit of ‘polish’ to it (coupled with some really good analytics back end tools) then check out the main site at dropcards.com.

If dealing with a large US company doesn’t interest you then MediaHeaven.co.uk got in touch to tell us about their very similar new service called band ID. They’ll provide you with a stack of credit card sized cards with your artwork and a unique download password on each one. By entering the password and an email address the card holder can download your ‘product’ which could include everything from music to pictures to videos. At the moment the total download is limited to 100MB and Media Heaven say they are working on MySpace and Facebook widgets that will allow customers to download direct from the artist’s home pages.

Current pricing is £249 for 1000 cards and £199 for 500 inc delivery and VAT.
