Pinterest

We have been on Twitter and Flickr before, since this year joined Facebook and Google plus as well. Now we have joined the many Pinterest users. But what is really Pinterest and what is it used for?

Its a while now that everyone is talking in the net, about the explosive development of Pinterest.

Pinterest is another social network, a bit like Word Press, a bit like Flickr and Instagram but it seems clear that the high-quality images usually focus on the personal interests of the users. ”Pint-interest” is the possibility of labeling images, videos,discussions, gifts or pictures of products to include the social network as an online shop-window.

Also, we  have  put photos of some of our newest and best products in the network and take care to update it regularly. Allows you primarily to be inspired to get new ideas and inspiration for designing your business cards and as you already know from Facebook and Twitter to share them on other networks.

We look forward to your visit! Get inspired !

1000+ Creative Business Card Designs, Part 2

We just came across another online business card collection, which we think deserves an article on its own:

The title of the collection is “Oh, my God… It even has a watermark!”, obviously named after the famous and fabulous business card scene in American Psycho. For those of you who don’t haven’t seen it yet and for those who can’t get enough of it, watch it in full length on Youtube

The online business card collection http://www.itevenhasawatermark.com is a great inspirational source of uncounted ideas for how to design an outstanding business card (…and for how to present it nicely). With categories for the colors, themes, technique or material of the cards and a section “similar cards” beneath each single portrait. See for yourself. Here are some examples:

Mixtape Generation, Japan

Transparent Business Cards in Blue and Green

Sometimes we get requests for samples of transparent business cards in certain colors. It’s interesting that designs in blue are relatively common, also those in red, but we rarely get orders for green business cards and I think we have never printed one in yellow. In orange yes, but not in yellow.
Given the general preference for certain colors we had the idea to post small galleries with business cards in one special color. Here is the first one: tranparent business cards in blue and green.

Business Cards of Genuine Silver and Gold

Our materials contribute a great deal to the value of our print products. Unlike common paper business cards, only a harmonious interplay between design and printing substrates can bring about a perfect result. Therefore, given the great importance we attach to printing substrates, we are constantly in quest of innovative materials.

As for our new offer, we’ve been inspired by pictures of metal business cards displayed in several online collections as well as by the growing demand for business cards whose colors are meant to imitate the effect of silver or gold by means of offset inks. Instead of using ordinary metals or imitating precious ones, we’ve decided to employ genuine materials and thus offer our customers business cards made of real silver (925) and business cards of gold-plated silver (pure 18 karat gold).

gold business cards

These cards define a niche market and, given the price (250 EUR/card and 300 EUR/card respectively), they lend themselves more likely to being offered as gifts on different occasions, such as graduation, promotion and alike, than to a regular exchange of business cards. But that is all up to you to decide.
Now enjoy watching these beautiful cards in the pictures above. Unfortunately we won’t be able to ship them as free samples, as is the case with the rest of our products

Metallic Plastic Business Cards

It is not only about what you do in the corporate world, but also about how you do it that matters. Our new range of metallic business cards can make the first impression you give a lasting one.

Highly unusual, these Metallic Business Cards consist of a single layer of plastic (PVC, 300 micron) instead of laminated paper. Thus these cards have the advantages of plastic: they won’t wrinkle up and are waterproof. Metallic plastic business cards have a smart contemporary appearance, are durable and  lightweight.
