The subtleties of these business cards help them stand out in a crowd and make a strong first impression: they are slightly larger than standard business cards, and the X is die-cut and lightly embossed. These are details that—when well executed, as they are here—recipients tend to appreciate, even if they don’t realize why they think this card is better than other cards.

Project Description

We needed to update our business card design to something a little more exciting and edgy—something that better represented our own brand. We decided to go with a 2-color, diecut card that highlights our x-shaped logo with a very subtle emboss. The new cards are just slightly larger than normal size and the crisp edges of the X always command attention when we hand them out.

Production Lesson(s)

Working with local printers is always a great decision so that you can have better, localized control over your final product and develop relationships with vendors for future projects.”
