Checked out 70 Amazing Business Cards and i agree that not all of them are what i would call amazing either. As for my ideal business card, it’s a minimalist one (like just my name and number or e-mail) and then a paper with rich textures.

I’m with Alex. Where can you print awesome biz cards – digital, letterpress or silk screened? Links would be appreciated.

Where the hell can I get nice detailed custom biz cards done? Do most printers have the ability or are there small higher priced shops that make them so nice? Links would be good…

Great selection of designs. Creativity can be expressed anywhere even if all the room you have is 3.5X2. Good work.

They are all fantastic and all have a unique their own look about them. So much inspiration and talent for such a small 90 x 55 object!! The Jason Santa Maria one is really cool and joining them altogether is such a cool idea.

Thanks for the props danny, I know it sounds like it would be kind of a hippie-style card, but I tried really hard to stay away from that style. Overall, they’ve been really well received…

@Ethan: woah, those are rad! when you were describing them, i pictured something grunge-y, dirty, and DIY-ish (not that i have anything against that), but when i saw them on your flickr, i was surprised at how good they look…and consistent too. love the stitching to represent what you do. great job man!

These are wonderful. Something about business card design is very reminiscent of being back in art school. So after 8 years I think I need to design my own!

I’ve also had an extremely difficult time coming up with a personal card. I wanted something that was memorable with a decent “cool factor” but I also don’t like the amount of waste involved with the whole process from the print process to the fact that ultimately, 90% of the cards you make will be thrown out… I ended up coming up with a hand-made card out of some nice paper samples sent to my local art-supply store that they were going to get rid of, and setting the type with a rescued typewriter. And the limited-run nature of the cards lets me change things up. There are a few pics up on my
flickr.

I know the labor involved means this isn’t a good solution for most people, but I think it gives it a nice textural element and personal touch that would be out of my price range if I ordered something like this from a print shop. I think that personal projects like this are definitely the most difficult.

Nice post. I think cards must stand out these days, so I naturally lean towards the more unique shapes and textures. There’s a few more here:
