Finding circle business cards?


11 years 9 months ago #240117 by Josh Jofoto
Would any of you know a good place I could find some quality round business cards? Not rounded corners, but a full on round business card. I would like to do something different with my business cards.

That would be unique but also could hurt. Many people keep cards in a file or stack and I'm afraid an "odd" card might get put aside.
If you still think it's a good idea, check out

I agree. There is a reason that business cards have a very specific dimension... and its been like that for years. You can be unique though and still stick to the standard.

Use something other than paper... Steel? Plastic? Translucent Plastic? Wood? You could also use special printing methods like embossing? lenticular (3d printing)? cut outs? You could make it functional, add a magnetic strip... saw a tool shop card once that had a series of wrench shapes on a metal card that you could actually use as a wrench.

There are so many unique business cards out there... changing the shape is just likely just gonna cause people not to keep them in their wallets, or card holders... it will more likely end up in the bin (in my opinion).

Interesting fact - Did you know that in Japan, you would never put a person's business card in your wallet in your back packet. In that culture, your business card is your "face". Putting it in your back pocket is like, well... you get the idea.

All good points, I was thinking different might lead to people spending more time admiring the card. I would like to do something different with my cards. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Interesting fact about Japan :thumbsup:
