I've been told to make cards up also to have ready as soon as I get my commercial - my CFI recommended it. I've seen others who have done the same.

As a graphic designer, I definitely agree with Pilot602 on NOT using the perforated business card sheets. Get some HEAVY card stock, and if you have access to a layout software program and a decent color printer, print your own (you can fit 8 to a sheet). If you draw some crop marks in for each card, you can use an xacto and a ruler, or a paper cutter if you have access to one, to trim them out.

Once finished they don't look much different from a professionally printed job. Our company in fact prints temp cards for new employees in this manner.
