My all time favorite business card is from Blades (in Louisville).
http://bladessalonandspa.com/

It was (and may still be) in the shape of an old razor blade, complete with the center cut out and side notches. The front side was glossy gray with black ink. I remember it from the early 80's...that is SOME impression. (they still use that same shape for sponsorship advertising-like at River City Indoor Soccer).

And thanks for mentioning the perforated edges. I refuse to do business with someone who uses Avery stock. They could have printed them this morning and be running a scam OR more importantly, don't care enough about their business/image to go to the expense.

(Happy turkey day)

I despise white business cards with black text with a passion. It’s so boring! And, anymore, I automatically flip over a business card to see what’s on the back – I think that’s becoming the norm, so anyone not using the back is definitely missing out on another communicative opportunity. I like these cards, which I saw on Creative Bits, b/c of the red color http://creativebits.org/cool_business_card_desi... – which hardly anyone uses – as well as the humor. It makes me want to show off the business cards to friends and family.

Mitch Canter at StudioNashvegas.com (@studionashvegas on twitter) has a really good one that looks like a hotel door key (you know, the ones with the magstripe that you just insert like a credit card). It's surely one of my favorites.

Great points - especially about using the backside of the card - too many people miss this opportunity and you give examples that really leave an impression. It's important to remember that most of the time you only have one opportunity to make an impression.

Buy heavy card stock - A flimsy card not only says I might have printed this on my inkjet printer, but it also doesn’t give a great impression of your business quality. Not to mention if I put it in my coat or pants pocket, it’s easily folded or crushed. Personally, I use OvernightPrints.com for my card printing and they always use great, firm (15 pt) card stock.

A great business card can be flashy, fun, and memorable, but also needs to balance in professional and informative. See how to design your own business card so that it incorporates the most important elements that leave a lasting impression.
