In the realm of business cards, it’s no longer about who has the most formal business card, but who has the most creative, special, and unforgettable style. Which would you prefer, that your business card be assigned to the back of the lot by those who receive them, or that they be praised and shown to other people for its new and quirky design? Try fun new styles of business cards for a unique look by going for one or more of the examples below.

Plastic business cards
Going from paper to plastic may sound like a big step, but one that people will rarely if ever regret. Plastic business cards may cost more, but when you consider that each plastic card is virtually indestructible when compared to paper cards, you will end up saving more time and money because each plastic card can be given away, unlike the paper cards that get crumpled or stained and have to be thrown away. Many printing companies also offer plastic printing, and this easy availability makes them cheap business cards that will give you the biggest bang for your buck. There are also different textures too, such as transparent and frosted, so you can pick out the best look and feel for your business cards.

Embossed business cards
If you prefer to stick to paper but want a special new touch, then try going for embossed printing. This features a design where the paper is raised in special places, commonly situated right where your details are printed, although embossing can also be done without printing, giving a raised feel and a subtle look. For a special embossed design, there are foil embossed business cards that uses a metallic ink printing on the raised areas, giving your cards a unique and luxurious look.

Die cut border and cut out business cards
Tired of the usual rectangular and sharp-edged or rounded shape of business cards? You can go for creative borders and edges if you like as well as interesting shapes or patterns cut out around the center of the card that can fit your business look and theme. Printing companies can give your cards a special curvaceous or angular edge, and even create unique shapes like stars, flowers, hearts and geometrical styles. You may need to get special business card holders to hold these unique shapes, or at least make sure that they can fit into the regular holders for the standard dimension of 3.5 by 2 inches.
