Norburn Model Aircraft Supply's Business Card Takes Flight, Literally

Although some may argue that the age of the business card is over, the Norburn Model Aircraft Supply's business card may change all that. Since many people hold that sentiment true, designers and business owners have decided to step up their business card game, resulting in often mind-blowing interactive creations that reel in new clients and customers easily.

In this case, Norburn Model Aircraft Supply's business card is rather nostalgic. Made out of balsa wood, which was printed and laser die cut, it can be assembled into a small, yet functional glider. Since that is the business, it is an ingenious concept.

Conceived and executed by Rethink Communications, an ad agency based in Vancouver, Canada, the Norburn Model Aircraft Supply business card is more than memorable.
