The Coolest Business Cards - Beautiful & Unique Business Card Designs Part 4

This is the 4th part of our Coolest Business Card series. This time, we are including the printer (when we can find out the information) who printed these business cards. We received many responses from graphic designers wishing to know how to get similar business cards printed since many of the business cards displayed have complicated folds, cuts, etc. I hope that you enjoy the next set of ‘cool business cards’. Feel free to submit your own.

This business card for AIGA Knoxville might be my favorite. Pantone cards are an every day item in a graphic designer’s life, so using old pantone cards for your business cards is brilliant. It would be really easy for any of you to utilize this idea. Just print out your info on a sticker (in a well designed fashion like AIGA Knoxville did) and stick it on your old pantone cards.

Dolce Press prints out beautiful business cards with the letterpress process. These three cards are all unique in their own way. The first card was designed by Cara Kleid (left). This beautiful 2 color card emphasizes how to combine illustration with a creative font layout and the very cool letterpress printing process. The second card (center) we designed and printed for Tina Chang who wanted an elegant card with a flair so, Dole Press decided to do a subtle background in transparent white so the card wasn’t overpowered with color. The last card (right) was again printed by Dolce Press but designed by David Caso. It was printed, scored, and folded.

Isn’t this the coolest business card? This is a photograph of the “unopened” business card front and back. Now look at what it looks like opened. Emerson says that he got these printed at printingforless.com.

Emerson Taymor had these business cards printout as a diecut out with the bottom of the card being scored. This allows the cardholder to pop Emerson’s body out and form a standup doll of him. This is such a unique idea for a business card. He should also have different clothes to put on him, such as a ballerina tutu and a tuxedo (come on girls, you remember playing with paper dolls when you were little girls). The information for this is 4/1 - 3.5″ x 2″ - Custom Die (around the silhouette of Emerson’s body, scored on the bottom edge) allowing a standup doll - 120lb - Matte Coating.
