8 Ideas For Unique And Affordable Business Cards

Posted by Sean Haney

by Alyssa Gregory

There are a number of posts out there with collections of really cool and unique business card designs. Some of my favorites are CreativeBits, CrazyLeaf Design Blog, and Daily Poetics. While these cards are definitely unique and fun to look at, many of them are not realistic for use as everyday cards in terms of production costs. Not to mention some of them would be very difficult to carry around in your pocket or wallet.

Affordable ways to make your business card pop. (and some business card design tips, too!).
