Looking for inspiration for business card design in Pinetown and surrounds? Whether you are starting out with a brand new business that needs an eye-catching card, or you are thinking about a complete brand makeover, Minuteman Press Pinetown offers premium business card design and printing that caters to your needs.

 

Not too long ago, business cards were limited to simple, ‘safe’ designs that were somewhat on the conventional side. Businesses today have a lot more creativity to use. An unusual business card sends prospective customers a powerful message right from the start. The look and design of a card will often be the deciding factor in whether your card is truly seen (and kept) or whether it is briefly glanced at and tossed or filed away to be forgotten. If you are still not 100% sure what direction to take with your business card, it can be very useful to view some clever examples. To help provide you with some inspiration, we have rounded up some of our favourite business card design ideas that are anything but ordinary!

 

Business Card Design Inspiration

 

In no particular order, here are some spectacular ideas for business card design in Pinetown…

 

1. Transparent

Transparent cards are printed onto special plastic. They have a modern, minimal look that is eye-catching because it is so different from regular opaque cards. This type of card works especially well for those in creative industries, as well as those in the home décor and design fields. But, thanks to its sleek look, it would work for almost every contemporary business that does not require a more traditional approach.

 

2. Hanger

This quirky card is ideal for those in the clothing business. Whether you are a fashion designer, stylist, fashion editor or even a seamstress, clothing manufacturer or buyer, the hanger has an unusual shape that makes it instantly interesting from a visual point of view. To make it even more effective, try to make the card a standard card size without the hanger part sticking out. As cards are often stored in wallets, a longer card may end up broken if it does not easily fit into a card slot in a wallet.

 

3. Pop Up

What makes this style versatile is that it can work with almost any design, for almost any industry. You can use illustrations and bright colours, or opt for photographic images instead. Pop out cards are easy to design and print, with no special equipment needed. A few simple cuts are required to allow the pop up to pop, which can either be done by the designer or yourself.

 

4. iPhone

Mimicking the screen of an iPhone, this modern card is clever while still retaining a professional edge. This style works especially well for entrepreneurs, sales agents and professionals who deal with people frequently. It will also work well for those in the technology industry. It may not be a good pick for those in very conservative or traditional industries however.

 

5. Google

There are many variations of the Google style business card design. The basic idea uses your name on a Google search page. This one takes the concept one step further by creating a mini laptop. This is a great choice for anyone in the technology industry. Those in online marketing will especially find this a good choice. In an industry that does not use internet too much, it may not be such a good fit however.

 

6. Stocks

There is much to be said about creating an industry specific business card. In this example, a financial advisor is using a clever stocks graph card. But it isn’t limited to the finance field, either. You could create a bread shaped card if you have a bakery, or a dog bone shaped card if you have a vet or pet supply store. Other variations include camera shaped cards, shoe shaped cards, leaf shaped cards and many other uniquely shaped cards that reflect the nature of industries.
