Nice little see-through cards for Frantisek Krivda. This printing process is experimental, a developing sort of UV burn printing for printing on plastic.

I dig this letterpress card from majorminor. Grey, Blue, and blind letterpress on what feels like Crane Lettra 200# or something similar. It’s nice to handle.

I dig these cards for Mestre Cervejeiro, a Brasilian brewery. The very sharp identity is designed by Curitiba-based D-Lab. I can’t tell for certain, but it looks to be kraft paper with sticker, screen printed and die-cut with some edge-staining too. Pretty elaborate, actually.

Check out this Utility Card from Grain, perfect for any occasion. Birthday, wedding, whatever, just circle it. Again, this isn’t a business card, per se, but I can imagine this being likewise useful for someone who has wears multiple hats. Imagine a similar concept but with various job titles circled — art director, voiceover artist, stuntman. [...]

This is pretty cool. Business cards for kids. Red Balloon, an English School for kids, asked its students what they wanted to be when they grow up. Based on their answers, we designed personalized Kids Business Cards. Result: more kids believe in their dreams and more parents believe in the importance of English for their [...]

These made me chuckle. Obviously, designed in the style of mid-90s mix tapes, these are printed on transparent plastic. Seems to be self-promotion for Wild Labs, a French design firm. The only trouble is, I can’t see that these guys have anything to do with music, or with home-grown underground music, as the mix tape [...]

This is a very meta business card, seeing that it’s essentially a business card printed on other people’s business cards. In this case, designer Woes van Haaften tied in a social experiment in how he chose which cards to print on. “These cards represent my traces in different worlds. It’s a personal and unique collection [...]
