# Pressure-Printed Business Cards COMMUNE Creates Book Board Contact Cards By Rachel | Published 2009-08-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commune-business-card References: [worldfamousdesignjunkies](http://worldfamousdesignjunkies.com/kawaii/slaver-business-cards/) & [commune-inc.jp](http://www.commune-inc.jp/) We’ve seen our fair share of wild and creative business cards on this site, and while this design may not be wild, it certainly is creative. This business card design comes from a Japanese company named COMMUNE, and the cards are not only printed on book board (the thick cardboard that keeps the pages of your books together), it’s also pressure printed. These COMMUNE business cards are great because they add a textured element to an otherwise plain design, and while the colors are nothing to shout about, between the pressure printed design and the fact that the cards are about 2mm thick (thanks to the book board), these cards are definitely special (and memorable). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pressure-printed Business Cards:** Pressure printing adds a unique and textured element to traditional business card designs. - **Book Board Materials:** Using book board as a material for business cards provides a unique and memorable experience for recipients. - **Creative Printing Techniques:** Exploring and implementing innovative printing methods, such as pressure printing, can elevate the design and impact of business cards. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Printing and Publishing:** The printing and publishing industry can adopt pressure printing techniques to create distinctive and visually appealing business cards. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Companies in the advertising and marketing industry can utilize pressure-printed business cards as an effective promotional tool that stands out from traditional cards. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can embrace creative printing techniques like pressure printing to add depth and visual interest to their designs, especially for printed materials like business cards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cutting-Edge Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcards.md) - [Customizable Marketing Postcards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress.md) - [Card-Labeled Coffee Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueprint-coffee.md) - [Scannable NFC Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovou-smart-business-card.md) - [Digital Card Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/businesscardgen.md) - [NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobilo-smart-business-card.md) - [Customizable Trading Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trading-card-holders.md) - [Digital NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchless-nfc-card.md) - [Hybrid Luxe Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noteanote.md)
