# Scruffy Napkin Business Cards This Unique Business Card Will Make Sure You Stand Out By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-05-21 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-business-card References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/unique-business-cards) & [sweetwaterpress](http://sweetwaterpress.com/) The folks over at [Sweet Water Press](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-heart-shapes-sugar-cookie-dough) have created a unique business card designed to look like a napkin. Normally, scrawling your contact info on a [cocktail napkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-fit) is considered "unprofessional," "amateurish" and generally bad form. But what happens when your official business card is, technically speaking, a napkin? It's a hilarious ice-breaker at any networking event, that's what. To look extra believable, the text appears as though it has been scribbled on the napkin's surface in pen -- albeit, a very clear, easy-to-read scribble. Pulling one of these napkin-cards from the pocket of your sleek suit will definitely earn you a few double-takes! But if there's one thing that's appreciated in the business world, it's the ability to think outside the box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Unique Business Cards:** The trend of creating unconventional business cards like napkins presents an opportunity for businesses to differentiate themselves and make a lasting impression. - **Creative Networking Tools:** Using creative and unique networking tools such as napkin business cards can help professionals stand out and start conversations at networking events. - **Personalized Branding:** The trend of using unconventional business cards allows professionals to personalize their branding and showcase their creativity in a memorable way. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Printing and Stationery:** The printing and stationery industry has the opportunity to innovate by offering unique business card designs like napkins, catering to professionals who want to make a statement with their branding. - **Marketing and Advertising:** In the marketing and advertising industry, there is potential to create innovative campaigns that utilize unconventional business cards like napkins to capture attention and leave a lasting impression on potential clients. - **Professional Services:** Professionals in industries such as consulting, law, and finance can explore the use of unique business cards like napkins as a way to stand out among competitors and showcase their creativity while networking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scannable NFC Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovou-smart-business-card.md) - [NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobilo-smart-business-card.md) - [Digital NFC-Enabled Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchless-nfc-card.md) - [Phygital Business Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moo-paper-cards.md) - [Digital Networking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digibusinesscard.md) - [Digital Card Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/businesscardgen.md) - [Conversation Starting Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinner-table-conversation-starter-napkins.md) - [Modern Business Card Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spreadly-scan.md) - [Digitized Business Contact Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-business-card.md)
