Embossed business cards
Everyone wants to be unique in his or her own way. In business and the corporate world, having a unique, eye catching and interesting business card somehow helps one get an edge, especially when meeting clients or stakeholders for the first time. An exchange in business cards not only gives one an opportunity to know the other’s name, but also know the other person’s affiliation and status. A simple business card may be enough, but for the more creative ones, embossed business cards are more like it.
Embossed business cards are printed cards with an additional imprint or mark that adds a touch of uniqueness. For most companies, the company logo is embossed on the business cards. The embossed design may be done by merely pressing on the design on the card, or it may be pressed and colored. The colored ones usually stand out, but if the business card is already colored, and the font and lay out is already “catchy”, a plain company logo stamped on the business card adds life to it, but does not over “decorate” it.
Embossed business cards usually only have the front portion printed. A traditional look is achieved by using wax seals instead of color ink.
It is usually practical to use embossed business cards for companies that order in bulk, and use only one pattern or design. Personalized business cards with embossed designs may be pricey as a mold or dye is made for each design. For personalized business cards, one may use one stamp, then hand-paint it to add some zing.
