Making a business card stand out amongst the millions and millions of others out there can be tough, which is where these super cool heat sensitive business cards come in.

Created by design studio 'Under Consideration,' what truly makes these business cards stand out is that the heat sensitivity isn't temporary. The very second that a [heat source touches the card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pangolin), it's permanently marked where it's touched. That means you can brand the card instantly with your fingerprint, lips or even other parts of your body if you were so inclined. The impressive effect is accomplished by manufacturing the cards using [Fedrigoni](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wetglue-collection)/Ispira purezza paper coated with thermo-sensitive ink.

A set of your own heat sensitive business cards will set you back a cool $985 for a set of 1,000, which could very well be a small price to pay for such a memorable networking tool.
