Your business card is a self-promotional tool that can be used for both good and bad. When a business card is boring, it often gets filed in the round file--also known as the trashcan. When a business card is brilliant, however, it represents you and your business in a positive and memorable light.
A solid business card is crucial to a great branding strategy. This slideshow of brilliant business cards captures branding best practices at their collective core. From edible business cards to plantable ones, these business card selections are ones that are sure to be remembered.
