Today we decided to give you some inspiration; business cards are an important and also fun aspect to branding oneself or company, especially when you’re in the business of design.
I tried to choose a variety that covered a broad selection not just the gimmicky and in vogue cards that whilst being creative and original can be over done.

These are all very nice. Thanks so much for posting!
These business cards are really creative. I love the idea of putting your information on a matchbox and adding sleeve for presentation.
Great collection of business cards. They all have their own unique quirks. Nice to see some different business cards out there that reflect the business, rather than your bog standard plain cut, bland business cards.

These are just extraordinarily designed business cards. The talent of the people who made these definitely show through their work.
Great Cards I really like the white ink on black card stock. We did some similar, but with an old world feel. Check them out on http://www.wearefamily.co.nz under Family Design Co.
There is a nice collection of business cards above all of which stand out for their attention to detail, like the edging colour and quality of printing.
really fantastic cards. thank you for sharing..
i like wildlabs’ card, really cool concept. That would make me read and keep it. And i think that is whats important for the client to actually keep the card for future references. Who would want to throw away designs like these?
i like erik’s business card , im a big fan of ornamental shapes like that , I design business cards but I dont have a business card of my own. lol. I’ll try to make something like that someday.
These are super cool! I especially liked Erich Hartmann;s card. He’s a jack of all trades! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

This is an outstanding compilation. I think, may be you will appreciate this concept I create for my new business card. Please don’t judge me as a spammer http://rodeldesign.com/index.php/diseno-de-identidad/mi-nueva-tarjeta-de-presentacion-y-mockup-o-maqueta-disenadas-por-este-servidor.html

Great selection of business cards.
While normal ‘cards’ with a creative graphic on the front can be great to look at visually, I especially like the 3D or interactive cards that are more than just a plain card.

i love them all especially the mixtape.
These are great looking cards. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a client that wants to spend the kind of money needed to print most of these cards.
Great collection of sassy cards! My favorites are probably Erik Merkow, Running Doves Press and Clint Shuttlesworth. Nice work Ben and thanks for sharing this with us.

Beautiful work! Great inspiration for me, I been looking into designing cards for my design blog this week.
