High, Wide and Handsome Option for Business Cards
Business cards are still important, even in this digital age. The right business card grabs the recipients attention, leaves an impression and builds trust. Unfortunately, there are a lot of wrong ones being produced (see “These Business Cards Are Crap” post).
The simple, solid, elegant look of the card featured here was achieved through thermography and engraving—the shiny lines creating the diamond pattern are a result of clear thermography on this gorgeous Classic Crest Epic Black (two 80-lb. cover sheets were laminated together to create 160-lb. DTC). The type was engraved using white ink.
