Business cards are such a common marketing tool that many times they lose impact, are easily lost or put in a drawer and the design of many of them is quite forgettable.
Take this under-utilized advertisement of your business to the next level with some simple tips to make sure that no one ever tosses away your business card again:
- Put your cards into a clear business card sleeve. When sealed, this will protect your card from dirt and fingerprints, and ensure that your smooth, plastic coated card stands out in a pile of business cards.

- To make an even bigger impact, use a piece of foam core to back your business card inside a sleeve. This adds depth, and such an inherent value to your card, that no one will think of throwing it away!
- Print your cards on a textured, matte stock. 20 years ago, most business cards were printed on this type of paper. Now, with the advent of cheap digital color printers, everyone’s card is glossy and color. A retro textured effect has a lot of impact.
- Mount your card onto Perfect Mount, giving it the durability and strength of cardboard.
- When handing your cards out at conventions or large marketing events, use clear boxes or vinyl holders to group your cards together, for a classy presentation.
