Karpem diem or carpe Karpem, either way you put it, this business card inspires creative and adaptive reuse of business card materials to make more business cards. How meta.

Recycled Karpem is the paper the print house uses to nicely box up freshly printed business cards. Making the most of the organic feel of this material, and using up the existing stock, these business cards were letterpress and laser engraved.

The laser engraving was a challenge, it needed to be a subtle effect yet legible. It took some experimentation until getting it right, and the solution was the dotted effect.
