An arresting combination of quirky illustrations and quirky printing surely make you look at these business cards more than once. Add to that the bubbly pattern that playfully touches your fingers as you read the front of the card and you end up with a rather unconventional experience.

Spencer Cross’s comment is:

Not a huge fan of the typesetting, but I love the use of thermo to create the texture on the back.

US$21?! That must be a typo, right?

Armin’s comment is:

MJ, these two other business cards that were printed in Malaysia were pretty cheap too; I can double-check the information was submitted correctly, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the actual price.

Can we find out what company printed these? I may have to look into printing stuff overseas!

Been there, done that.

Outsourcing overseas for cheaper production may sound like a good idea until you get hit with the shipping costs.
