30 Fun and Interactive Business Cards

It may be time to rethink the way we design business cards. That's not to say throw everything out, because there are some important standards to keep in mind. For example, you should keep the design for business card printing pretty close to the standard 3.5 x 2 inch design to ensure that clients can fit the card into a card holder or wallet. Certain information, such as your main contact info, should always be included, too.

But many of our designs result in a card being just another card in the stack. With so many excellent designs out there, especially in certain industries (i.e. creative fields), it seems that these days you really have to get creative with your business cards to stand out. One route that you may want to take in your design, if appropriate for the nature of your company, is to create design that encourages recipients to "play" with your business cards. For some inspiration, check out the following collection of fun and interactive business cards, designed to challenge your way of thinking and approaching business card design. Break out of the box and try your own unique interpretation of these non-traditional approaches.
