The Elements to Designing Unique Business Cards

Sometimes you only get one chance to make a distinct impression. If your business is in the business of being unique, consider handing your potential customers a unique business card. For amazing examples of unique and creative business cards, check out this link. With all the options available, where’s a good place to start? Here are a couple of ideas to help kick start your process of unique business card printing:

1. Shapes – just about any shape a business card that you can imagine can be created. Circles, ovals, stars, dogs, cats… anything is possible. Selling cars? Have a car shaped business card. Do you work with animals? Hand out business cards in the shape of birds and elephants.

2. Sizes – oversized or undersized business cards can have an equally dramatic effect. You have to be careful here because too big of a card becomes a brochure and two small of a card can get lost. Experiment with different sizes to see what kind of impression the card leaves you with.

3. Colors – of course, you have to consider color business card printing if you want to stand out from the pack. Even if you just print on a solid color paper and use a single different color of ink, your card will stand out from the pack of stereotypical black and white business cards.

4. Textures – consider printing on a unique type of paper. If you really want to go outside the box, think about printing on other materials altogether. Business cards can be made out of metal, clear plastics, even wood! If extreme materials are not your thing, a nice subtle touch that is still hard to miss is to print on your paper using unique textures.

Some business types simply need a unique business card to represent them. If you are feeling a little overwhelmed with the myriad of possibilities, start by playing with these different kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.
