Can anyone point me in the direction of a website that prints business cards on a cardboard paper like this?

BTW - the brown color is what I'm after.

I'd be suprised if any pack-em and rack-em printing sites offer such specific boards and print techniques. I'd have thought you need to keep print alive and go for a cu$$$tom print job.
I could be wrong but the QBN massive will take care of that...

yeah, for this kind of thing you need to go to an actual print shop, online sites usually do standard stuff

this is he cheapest place I've found that can give a fair number of typically custom printing options at affordable rates. http://tasteofink.com/

Don't know of any printers, but if its any help that kind of cardboard is usually called chipboard

chipboard. some printer does print on chip board if you bring in your own chip bored. <-- i did that.

The black looks very smooth... You could do this by gluing to sheets together. but to screen print white on the front and spot uv on the back this would be crazy expensive. Even in China, you'd be looking at $250 for 1000 cards.
Something you could do, is print the a picture of the cardboard effect on the white paper. This would save you needing to screen print the white and mean you could have this done at any print shop. If the paper has slight texture it's hard to tell.

the best one for business cards is definetely Moo.
http://us.moo.com/ or http://uk.moo.com/
they do anything, even a picture sliced onto 200 cards as if they were pixels.

^ I like this idea, if someone you don't like asks for your number you hand then 200 business cards and tell them to piece it together jigsaw style in order to get your number. fantastic.
anyone know somewhere to buy a business card holder that carries 200 cards?

Just go with a local printer.
You could try using Becket Concept which is not that expensive. Wood Spice is very close to the card board look. It Is not too smooth, the paper fibers are visible, and at 130dtc you could get something nice.

Our cards are printed on paper similar to the black stuff (forget what it is, but it is super heavy/thick). I assume they could get the cardboard/chipboard looking stuff too.
Got them made at a local foil stamping place (only way to get a good white and gloss to stick to black). Not cheap, about $1.25/card, but they make a very big, positive first impression (easily worth it). Also got folders made the same way (3 stamps per card/folder) and saved a bunch on paper/production.

Appreciate the comments everyone.
Been wanting to get some made up lately as I've run into people around town and it's far easier to hand someone something than say "remember this url, or flickr address..."
