Don’t Throw it Away: Excellent Business Card Designs
Nearly all companies have business cards – those white pieces of paper with black type. Although just a few brands have been able to stand out using this format, most don’t. Despite the fact that there are many businesses using Twitter and other sites, it can still be hard to remember all the contact details, especially the phone number, and in other cases, the person you should be referring to over the phone.
The reason many businesses don’t choose to invest time into their branding: it costs too much money. With the typical business card purchase, it costs a standard fee based on how many you need, while any unique design to set your business apart may quickly add up in costs, especially for larger projects.
We here at Webecta love business cards, so we’ve created this showcase of some of best business “card” designs around. Card is in quotes due to the fact that you don’t have to market your business with just any old card – you can take the more creative route and provide something useful, serving as a memento for visiting the company.

These cards buck the old adage that all business card designs are boring and just invite you to throw them away. Many of these you may have seen, because they are great, while there are many you might not have seen before.
