Thinking outside the box – Business card shapes and sizes

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred that you’re given a business card, chances are that its the standard 90mm x 55m size. Into the rollerdex it goes to be skimmed over and forgotten like all the rest.

There are alternatives however. An extra trim or a simple die-cut can make a card stand out and doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Starting with a piping hot card of coffee, here are a few alternatives to consider.

Completely round cards.

One or more round corners costs only a few dollars extra.

You could even lose a corner or two completely.

Square cards.

Last but not least, my own business card design, still a rectangle but cut to a sleek 90mm x 45mm high.

What about you?

Did you do anything different with your business cards? Maybe the next batch?
