How to Make Your Business
Card Stand Out: Over 50 Creative Ideas and Inspiration
I’ve collected over 50 creative and unique business cards from different types of businesses. Some are visually appealing, some have fancy die cuts, some are edible, and some are just crazy. The examples in this post prove that business cards don’t have to be printed on standard-sized card stock. They can be made from any material, in any form.
So, how do you ensure that the person you shared your card with has taken the time to look at it? Through business card design!
In fact, the cards should be designed in such a way that people can’t throw them away, even if they want to.
