I would first advise you not to make the faux-pas of calling them "business cards." They go by "Namecards" over here, and doing otherwise usually gets you a snicker from others within earshot. That said, most places offer similar services for namecard printing, with no one place being seriously better than any of the others. Walk around your neighborhood and ask the locals where the nearest namecard shop is. Such a shop will probably also make other advertisements and have a team of people working on photoshop projects in the office. For two colors on simple stock and no solid-color backing, you should be looking at 20-35 a box (100 cards). Some places have a minimum order of two boxes. However, when your cost is that low, you don't have to worry abou that. I hope this answers your question.

Buisness cards for you and your business usually go for 20-30rmb per 100 but keep in mind you get different quality from different vendors. My multicolor business cards ran about 35 rmb and they were full bleed 4 color and cut correctly. They over produce by about 10% to allow for any errors. Check your vendor on what their satisfaction policy is.

btw, "name card" is a direct translation from Chinese so it is possible that folks with less business experience for from other palces may call them "name cards" but this does not diminish the term "Business card" in any way
