Whoever decided that the information on a business card had to be printed on the front or back side of a piece of paper was surely not thinking outside of the box. Especially considering the latest digital transportation of this information when fewer cards are toted around in a wallet or spun in a rolodex. Cacao Design in Italy truly tested the abilities, capabilities and imagination of their printer as they tested and retested what would ultimately become their latest business card.
