When starting my own business I have been questioning about how to do everything in practise. I needed business cards, and I asked my colleague who had just made a new ones to him where did he print those cards.

-In China, he responded to me

-Yes, yes, but seriously!!

-In China, for real.

He told me that people in advertising business here in Finland send quite much things to China for printing etc. According to him it is so much cheaper that it really pays off. And the quality of printing is also good.

This was totally new thing to me. Till that day I had thought that only big companies do outsourcing at China. Well, but we live the days of Internet, so geographical distances practically do not exist anymore.
