Unique Business Cards

Business Cards. They've existed since the 15th century. We've all seen our share of plain, boring b&w business cards.

So you want to stand out from the crowd... but maybe you don't even know where to start.

So in today's competitive marketplace, how can you maintain your edge?

Start Fresh with Specialty Business Cards
Throw away your old boring cards!
How many business cards have you disposed of in the past year? Hundreds? Thousands?

But every once in awhile, you see a card that demands your attention.

So how can you produce a business card that exemplifies excellence and professionalism? It often takes a bit of research. In this lens, I will attempt to explain the different types of specialty printing now available to your business. I will also provide direct sources for specialty printing to save you the time and effort involved in creating a business card masterpiece.


So how thick should your business cards be?
Card Stocks Explained
The most common card stocks available are 100lb, 10pt, 12pt, 14pt and 16pt. 100lb book is the equivalent of a 10pt card stock. There are even thicker printed stocks available, such as 30mil PVC plastic. 30mil translates to a 30pt stock, which is an extremely heavy card stock.
So, would you rather make your first impression with a flimsy, disposable card or a heavy, durable card?

thick business card gives the impression of strength and longevity. This is a representation of your company. You can also say a flimsy card symbolizes a weak, impermanent or fly-by-night business.

Personally, I always recommend a 14pt stock or preferably a 16pt card stock. The price difference between a cheap 100lb or 10pt stock and a much heavier 16pt stock is negligible, but the difference in feel and marketing value is immeasurable.

30mil Plastic Cards are also an amazing investment, but a bit more costly. These extremely heavy, durable plastics offer the same thickness as a credit card and many similar options are available, such as magnetic stripes, barcoding, signature panels, variable data, scratch-offs with pin numbering, embossed sequential numbering and holographic foils. Many marketers are willing to justify the added expense for a truly impressive credit card style thickness.

Types of Unique Business Cards

So now that we've examined the benefits of premium business cards, let's take a moment to look at the different types of specialty business cards available:
