These instructions also appear, in condensed form, in the left-hand column of the online order form.
Note that you will need two phone numbers (typically voice and fax) and the email address for each business card. You will also need the correct Account Code for billing the $60* cost of each order of cards. There is no "comment" or "special instructions" area on the order form. If you are not able to create a correct business card using the order form, please do not complete the form or click the Send My Order button, but instead contact Art Petrosemolo or the Copies Plus staff.
To order business cards, go to the online order form.
Enter your name, even if yours is not the name that will appear on the business card.
Click Place an Order
Click the campus address that should appear in upper right of the business card. If the address you need is not shown on the page, do not order business cards at this time. Contact Copies+Plus center for more information.
You may create up to three lines of title information. Blank lines will be ignored. For the last line, you may enter needed information OR use one of the named entities of the University which are provided for your convenience to make sure that spelling is proper and consistent. Each phone number will be marked with a type. You may provide any combination of two phone numbers; a voice number and fax number would be typical. Please use the athletics logos only for the athletics departments; other cards requested with an athletics logo will be returned for correction.
At this point the requested card is shown for your review. View Closeup if needed for careful proofing. If corrections are needed click Back. If card is correct in all respects enter the name and contact information of the person requesting the card (even if yours is not the name that will appear on the business card) and supply the Account Code for billing.
Last chance to click Make Corrections. When Send My Order is clicked, the department is liable for the full $60 cost of 500 cards even if there are errors.
To Order Another Card
In the upper right hand corner of the ordering screen, you'll find a link for Start a new order. If you are ordering a number of cards for individuals in your department or office, you may wish to use the Firefox web browser specifically, as it by default offers you the most recent entries for each form field. This can save you lots of keying and proofing.
* The cost for 500 cards increased as of January 1, 2009 to accommodate increasing charges from our suppliers.
With assistance from FDU Purchasing and from FDU Web Operations, the Copies+Plus (copy center) operation handles business cards for the University; the effect is shorter turnaround on your orders AND a lower cost. We are utilizing BCT, a Upper Saddle River company, for typesetting and production. BCT is a national franchise and does millions of cards annually from sites all over the country. We have worked with BCT to set up online ordering, and a seven workday turnaround for cards is typical. Cards are processed daily and not held for groups of 10 cards as we once had to do.
Cards are billed to your account at $60 for 500 cards. Cards are campus specific, with the University logo or appropriate (Devils or Knights) athletic logo.
The key to making this work smoothly for all is to follow the online instructions which will prompt you
in setting up your business card under University guidelines. The billing information you enter takes the place of filling out a purchase order, and it will be used to bill the account specified, under the object code .56330 (copy center charges).
When you submit an order, the information is automatically sent to the copy center for review
and approval. Finished cards are shipped to the copy center to assure quality standards and then sent
to the individual whose name is on the card via campus mail.
If you have questions, direct them to a member of the copy center customer service staff (Craig Cannon and Rich Villanueva).
