Cool Business Card of the Week – A Die-Cut Goodie

This is an excellent example of using the die-cut to your advantage. What I like about this business card is not just the whimsical use of the bite mark, but how the card still maintains a standard size while featuring a unique die-cut. This means the card is able to be filed in a business card holder or kept in a wallet unlike many die-cuts that feature over the top shapes and sizes.

Beyond the obvious, this card features a couple other nice touches:

On the front, a good use of color – Two tones similar in shade, enough to offer some variety, but not too gaudy or overpowering. A modern logo with a catch-phrase – Somebody spent some dime getting a marketing department. Information on the back laid out in a clear fashion.

All said, this card has got it all! For business card printing and post card printing, PrintFirm has it all! You can get 250 printed business cards staring at $13.99!

Top 5 Techniques for a Unique and Affordable Business Card

We’re all trying to save a buck, but the real trick nowadays is saving money without looking like you went cheap. Here at PrintFirm, we have developed many ways to have your printed materials looking sharp and modern without putting a strain on the wallet. With that in mind, we present the top 5 ways you can create a unique and affordable business card:

1. Rounded Corners – One of the simplest and most cost-effective methods for achieving a modern business card is rounded corners. “Having all or some of the corners on your business card rounded can make a huge difference in the overall look and feel of your cards.” PrintFirm offers 1000 Round Corner Business Cards for $30.99. That’s an unbeatable price!

2. Magnets – “It’s not a new idea, but making magnets out of your business cards is a way to create a useful product with your contact information. And they are more likely to be stuck on the fridge and less likely to be tossed in the trash.”

3. Folded - “Folded cards let you stand them up like a table tent on an exhibit or display, and you can make them mini brochures with additional information about your company or services.”

4. Mini Cards - “Mini cards are business cards that are smaller than the standard size. This can make the cards stand out, yet those receiving them can still stick them in their pocket or stack them with other business cards.”

5. Die Cut - “Just like mini cards, business cards in a different shape can be especially memorable. You can try something as simple as a circular card or create a custom shape.”
