Carbon Business Cards

This New Business Card Design Uses Carbon Fiber to Help You Stand Out

— June 8, 2016 — Marketing
Jon Melvin is the creator behind this new business card design that uses carbon fiber. He made 'RC Fibers' as a way for professionals to stand out by giving them a card that would take their personal brand to the next level.

The sleek charcoal cards are cut precisely using an optimized pad printing process. Consumers are able to choose from a number of different color palettes, with red, green, white, yellow and blue able to be paired together. Although the cards are a little more pricey than most traditional business cards, RC Fibers' use of carbon means that each card will last exponentially longer. With its durable material and standout appearance, consumers who have their credentials printed on this new business card design are likely to be more memorable to potential clients. As Jon Melvin knows, having a unique card could be the first step in securing a positive professional relationship.
