While the type treatment of this business card is beautiful, and the white foil stamp is rather arresting, it is actually the paper that will stop you in your tracks. Or, well, the papers: By putting together four different colors (which play the role of CMYK) of the same heavy paper stock, a colorful side and a hefty product is created that will not be easily forgotten.
