    Whichever business you’re in, and especially for anyone in the field of design, such as web designers, a business card can be as important as your website identity.

    A business card creates a physical connection and bond between you or your business and your customers.

    Just like in a website, business cards can become great interactive elements, but with the added ability to have real textures, different materials and shapes.

    In this article, we’ll take a look at 100 truly outstanding business card designs which show that there are truly no limits to the design of a business card.




     


    Which ones are your favorites? How important is a business card for you? Please share your comments with us…

      nice collection

    • http://www.danhbaweb20.com/ Danh ba web 2.0

      Awesome collection, good job !

    • http://blog.insicdesigns.com insic

      amazing b-card designs. nice collection

    • http://www.zacjohnson.com Zac Johnson

      Amazing list of amazing cards. I’ve seen many of them on lists before, but there were also a good amount of new cards. Just goes to show how important original and creative ideas get rewarded!

    • http://www.graymason.com Mikah Sargent

      Where is a good place to get the clear plastic business cards? I’ve always been intrigued, but never pursued.

    • Deepak

      Cool list!

      Thanks as always.

    • http://zelsieweb.com elsie

      These are all so inspiring

    • http://www.justinledelson.com Justin

      Very cool! Those are a great inspiration. Although, a hard business card may get annoying if people want to carry them in their wallet. I would prefer a more flexible card.

    • http://ideamashups.com ideamashups

      Awesome collection! Great inspiration!

    • Onse

      I am soooo much in love with no 2. – its cute ^^

      on the other hand. – the google card is very creative (thumbs up!) and the hair-dress card (the one after the divorce card) is very stylish.

      man.. I think I need to re-do my business cards :D

    • http://twitter.com/PeteWilliams Pete Williams

      You missed my favourite – business cards printed on beef jerky with a laser!

    • http://fludotlove.co.uk fludotlove

      Nice collection. Inspiring as always.

      @Walter – 54 and 94 are the same (might want to take one out).

    • Craig Worth

      This would be my all time favourite

      http://positivesharing.com/2009/02/coolest-business-card-ever/

      If you work at Lego, your business card is a lego person, made as close to your physical likeness as possible!!

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      I replaced one of the cards that was repeated with your favorite one :)

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Hey, well spotted. Thanks a lot for this, I’ve replaced it with Pete’s favorite card (comment #10).

      Thanks again :)

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Actually not the same card as shown in your link, but a ‘meaty’ one nonetheless. Hope this one is tasty as well :)

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      That is super cool :)

    • http://www.kadaffy.com kadaffy

      amazing post.Thanks very,very much!

      Best collection of business cards i have ever seen.

    • http://notabeneconsulting.com Nota Bene Consulting

      AWESOME!!!! Great list post and good inspiration.

      Thanks for sharing.

    • http://www.suburban-glory.com/ Andy Walpole

      yeah not sure about those…

      some of them are okay but most are a bit wacky aren’t they – the traditional rectangle shape for a business card is optimum otherwise people just lose them too easily

    • http://www.abrandlincoln.com pol

      Nice, thanks!
      Let me add another one to the list, free to download and use :)

    • http://twitter.com/_enzo enzo

      couple of oldies but goodies. ^_^

    • http://www.weblogku.com Azam

      Cool collection.
      To me some of it doesn’t seem that practical to be use in daily life but it is very creative.

    • http://disordereddesign.com Krystian

      Very inspiring collection. It is amazing that such simple ideas like “divorce lawyer one” are so rich.

    • http://www.patternhead.com Patternhead

      Excellent collection. Some really inspring stuff here, thanks

    • http://tomduong.com Tom Duong

      Very nice collection of business cards! Some I’ve seen before and some I’ve haven’t, but overall – very inspirational.

    • http://joeldrapper.com Joel Drapper

      Great list! Thanks for putting these together.

    • http://www.kheendesign.com - Toby -

      I love it! Nice collection.

    • http://www.yancyjones.com Yancy Jones

      Really good collection. I hope mine turn out that good. Though my favourite business card was from encinitas surfboards as they kept changing them. The razor one was well cool, yet scarey at the same time!

    • http://www.edison.be Really Cool Card

      Thx for sharing people

    • http://idsandclasses.com Dusan

      Great collection. I bet some of them are sooo expensive to make

    • http://www.tocki.de tocki

      Nice collection.

    • http://www.nurbsatwork.com Osito

      Love the list. Does someone know where I can get a company to be able to make creative cards like these? most of them are just the standard shizzle.

    • Jas
    • Matt

      Many of those cards are fantastic examples of graphic design but may be impractical as actual business cards.

      In my experience, clients want business card to have two main attributes, besides contact information of course:

      1. The ability to fit in a wallet

      2. Space on the back to write on

      A lot of these examples would not fit in a wallet (at least, not without significant mangling) and cannot be written on (the plastic ones especially).

      That said, they are beautiful little pieces of art and their creators should be commended for their great level of creativity.

    • Karen

      You also repeat the Davide Gasperini card, although I have no idea which numbers they are.

      Fantastic list! Not all are practical, and some would be incredibly difficult to put in a wallet or Rolodex, but they’re all fun.

    • http://www.eibonmetal.com/ Jerome

      Great collection, very creative.

    • http://decisiveorigin.com laurie

      this is a really nice list. saved some on my pc for reference

    • http://www.nunofisteus.com/ Nuno Fisteus

      The “Another Bloomin’ Designer” card is the best. Very creative!

    • http://www.1klang.de frank katzer | 1klang.de internetagentur / fulda petersberg

      really a “best of” collection – thanks for the inspiration!

    • http://blog.jakerocheleau.com/ Jake

      Awesome collection, really enjoyed the Dallas Printer Google one :)

    • http://www.csskarma.com Tim Wright

      I love that Google Search Results one

    • http://arajay.com arajay

      perfect for those with a $10,000 business card budget.

    • http://www.theappleofmyi.com/blog Jon Moss

      Brilliant selection! Thanks for posting :-)

    • http://printedproof.com Christian

      GREAT WORK! Is it weird this stuff turns me on? Kidding…

      I’d love to have some of this work in my Flickr group for print design. I use this pool of creative-ness for articles and posts on my website. (http://printedproof.com) Can I drop a link?

      http://flickr.com/groups/printedproof

      Great stuff!

    • http://newevolutiondesigns.com Tom – New Evolution

      Nice collection, they are all great!

    • http://foundation-jobs.weebly.com/ Foundation Jobs

      Wow! Nice job on the list! Cool collection!

    • dj

      Interesting. Fun. Artsy. Waste of money? Adds to overhead, thus increasing costs to clients?

      I think an unusually shaped biz card is more likely to get thrown out because they can’t be scanned electronically via standard equipment, they don’t fit in the wallet, or portfolio. Some of them looked like they weren’t environmentally friendly, either.

      Still fun to look at though…

    • http://teenormous.com Teenormous T-shirts

      I used to collect business cards when I was a kid (and I still have my collection). I have a few that I thought we re really cool – wood, metal, etc. but these put my prized ones to shame. I am also in the candy industry now and have a bunch of cool cards from that industry – Maybe I should take pics and post them ;)

      Brian

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Thanks for spotting that – I’ve replaced it with the lego business card suggested by Craig – truly awesome!

    • http://www.networkingpartner.squarespace.com donnalynn

      Terrrrrifffic and inspirational. I can’t wait to get started on mine.

    • http://www.nathanjonesphoto.com Nathan Jones

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Replaced with a new one, thanks.

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Just added this one instead of one that was repeated. Thanks again!

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Thanks, someone else spotted that, too. I went ahead and replaced it with another one.

    • http://www.webdesignerdepot.com Walter

      Great job Nathan, truly original :)

    • http://www.admirimi.com Admirim

      Divorce lawyer’s card is my favorite.

    • http://www.prettygreenbag.com Pretty Green – Trúc

      Inspiring! I’ve been wanting to redesign and adding more of a branding message to ours. I love the cheeseburger one (because I’m hungry now…)!

    • http://BlackHealthCareProviders.Org BlackHealthCareProviders.Org

      This is a fantastic collection and very inspiring to those needing to re-vamp an image. Thanks a bunch!

    • http://www.kidsdreamgym.com/ Marina

      Cool collection. It is hard to pick a favorite one.

    • http://www.suziorman.info/ Suzi Orman

      I hope mine turn out that good. Though my favourite business card was from encinitas surfboards as they kept changing them.

    • http://www.logoblog.org/ Nora Reed

      I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. They are extremely creative business cards. I think that if your company has the extra budget to afford the creativity in marketing, it will definitely pay off in the end. Cards such as these can really leave lasting memories on consumers. Same as a great logo!

    • CandaceK

      I love the lush seed packet, the bobby pin hairdresser, and the divorce lawyer.

    • http://crystalposey.blogspot.com Crystal

      Very cool.

    • http://www.bizcard.com/ Business Card – Bizcard

      Very large set of business cards. This should be enough for those looking for inspiration before designing theirs.

    • http://chriscolhoun.com Chris Colhoun

      Thank for you the feature.

      Some fantastic cards here, love the Divorce Lawyer and Post-Marriage Counseling.

    • Debbie

      I love how clever people are. Those cards, many of them at least, must cost a fortune. Some of them look like they’d be five dollars a piece.

    • http://www.crearedesign.co.uk Adam

      I’ve never seen anything like some of those business cards – utterly bizzare. They sure make our company’s business cards look ordinary!

      Some business cards are realy ‘out of the box’.
      Great work / great inspiration!

      Thanks again,

    • http://potential2success.com Ralph

      Wow! These are some cool cards! That Lego one has got to be the best I’ve ever seen. Where can i get my hands on some?

    • Murtaza. Soni

      Excellent ideas.

      Even though you might not be the greatest of graphic designers but business cards like these will definitely get the customers into believing that you are a kick-ass designer.

      These business card ideas are unbeatable. the only issue I see that the production cost of such cards will be over whelming. An ordinary design firm will always find it tough to sustain the cost of such cards when produced on large scale.

      Life can be like a Brilliant Business Idea

      Always love seeing posts like this. It’s yet another reminder that people don’t have to settle for the plain old boring card stock “card” that’s not likely going to see the light of day after being given out. You need to capture your prospects attention immediately, and hope to keep it.

      Our dollar bill business cards to just that, and NOBODY throws these away. They might as well be throwing away money!

      Hi, that’s a huge collection and most of these are so cool. I found the google one and the divorce/marriage ones most interesting. the transparent ones were really cool. How do you come up with collections like these.

      great work. keep it up.

      There is a man called John Cassidy who is a Balloon Artist/Comedian/Magician who has a business card where it is a little piece of something that is rolled up and there is a rubber band holding it from unraveling, But, when it does unravel it creates a magic wand with his information on it. It’s quite good.

    • dan

      I hate to sound boring, and although these are fun for graphic designers, I’ve found that wacky business cards are usually less effective than the standard. Where do you put a business card that has grass on it or wool?

    • http://thefilmnest.com The Rake

      So many beautiful designs. Very impressive.

      I´m very impressed how cards are being made of other materials rather than just only paper. Amazing.

      Please, add more as you get them, ok?

      Bye!

      There are too many good ones to choose a favorite! The meat business card is really funny though!

      The creativity behind these is absolutely, beautifully inspiring! Is that real beef jerky? Not sure that would make it too long in my presence- especially if it were teryiaki flavored.

    • Sanuly

      This is Great! While traditional business cards as we know them are becoming defunct in favor of electronic storage mediums; handy novelty cards, which you can somehow keep on your desk without looking like a dork, might be the only future this archaic scrap of paper dating from the Mezozoic era has!

      I found ours in the UK online from a company called Plasma Designs. (http://www.plasmadesign.co.uk/) The are nice and thick, people tend to keep these. I have purchased through cheaper options as well, but they are either too clear (and too easily scratched) or too frosted (hard to read) and flimsy. I have had great luck with P D’s.

      the client isn’t always right. that’s why thy hired you. try educating them as to the purpose of a business card rather then just giving them what they “think” they need.

    • http://www.brosix.com Kelsey

      So cool! The marriage counselor one with the tape was good. I also enjoyed the landscaping businesses that were large plants or contained seeds. I really think that a creative business card will leave a more lasting impression than just a regular style of one.

    • John R.

      I realize that just because something has been done for a long time that, that in and of itself is not a reason to merit whether or not it would be included in your presentation but…
      I just wanted to point out that ALL of the metal business cards ( both stamped & etched – yes etched none of the metal ones were laser cut ) are NOT the result of the creative mind of their namesake. Period. But that of their manufacturer.
      As a custom fabricator that has worked almost the entire globe in his day I can tell you that these are just a case of everything old is new again.
      I’ve know vendors as far back as ’78 who issued these razor thin stainless steel & perfectly etched cards to their sales force. Including the galvanized stamped ones as well – depending upon the manufactures specialty. The last time I saw an etched card was the early ’90′s. A company doing etching out of El Monte, CA called Vacco ( a sub of Esco ) was also issuing them to their sales people.
      Not raining on anyone’s parade here ( or as you would say ‘hating’ ) just pointing out that the majority displayed are representing Creatives. And do you want to hire someone who saw this one day and said “cool everyone will be so impressed” I’ll just copy it. Or do you NEED someone that is about to represent you to be a bit more original. Details count.

      Wow, what an incredible list. The divorce lawyer card is absolutely hysterical. I had a really creative set of business cards done recently in Sydney, by DPM Creative Group http://dpm.net.au/ . They are a bunch of incredibly talented graphic designers who made my business cards appear to have a sleek metallic finish.

      This list may give me some creative inspiration to make some more! Thanks!

      Nathan Jones: The camera lens vector is really well done. The idea is simple & effective.
      Poul Nielsen: Interactive name cards such as these are hard to forget.
      Chris Fischer: Loving the graphic treatment.
      Dr. Anita Lechmann: So very clever, why didn’t I think of it?
      Cutting Edge: Great for playing a prank on someone too.
      Divorce Lawyer: Smart, practical, with a dash of humor.
      Asthma Allergy Centre: Definitely an attention grabber.
      Howl Fire: I wonder if they burn every name card or is it a die-cut.
      Meatcards: It’ll never survive in a dog eat dog world.
      Ramesh Sharma: The complete opposite of the Divorce Lawyer name card.
      Intersection: A very old school vintage feel.
      Obsessive Behavior: I’ll say!

      That’s what I call creative business cards :) They really have all shapes, sizes and different materials. Really liked the first one for the photographer, nice idea and I also liked the one that was Google style … it is original, although it’s not very eyecatching, design-wise I mean.
      Thanks for sharing these.

      The lego ones are great. I wish I had thought of that. Might see if I can get my boss to agree to a new line of business cards in that style!!!

      Brilliant business card ideas here. Would you consider adding adbills to the list?

      The stretchy personal trainer card is very clever, but I’d like to see someone try to punch the number into their phone whilst having to pull it apart!

      Second favourite,the 3D Bryce Bell Mechanical Designer’s card & third, the perforated card for the Divorce Laywer – classic!

      These are really great business cards. Although I’ve already seen some of them, the others are really great too. The Lodge’s metal business card looks great!

      Even all the business cards are looking nice , I like the seed in the cover card very much. We can keep it for sample seed and business card.
