Colorful Credential Carriers

These Brightly-Hued Business Card Holders Have a Pantone Theme

— March 2, 2015 — Fashion
These bright business card holders are inspired by Pantone color swatches. The plastic card holder collection is the result of a collaboration between Pantone, Knud Holscher Design Studio and Danish retailer Room Copenhagen. Available online from Naiise, the colorful credential carriers are designed to look just like the celebrated swatches. The colorful business card holders are available in eight different Pantone hues, such as Anthracite, Brilliant Blue, Classic Green, Flame, Lemon, Raspberry Rose, Tea and Vibrant Orange.

The Pantone Universal series is intended for everyday living. The practical products are great not just for holding business cards, but for transit cards (like metro passes) and notes. Designed for "the style-conscious person on the go," the plastic card holders make great gifts too.

1. Colorful Credential Carriers - Brightly-hued business card holders inspired by Pantone color swatches offer an opportunity for Pantone to expand its product line by venturing into organizational products.
