Looks like i’ll be coming back here often
These are some really great business cards. I especially like the use of greens and oranges on darker greys / blacks. Very creative.

Best collection of business cards I’ve ever seen. I’m definitely inspired !
I like the ones with the holes…I think it’s the first one.

Entertaining post, full of great design ideas. Thanks!
Sweet!
Thats a lot of cool designs. I really like the one with the grass seeds in them. It gave me a few good ideas for myself.
2 of my designs there
Simply amazing set of business cards!
Those are some cool business cards. I wanted to go with the transparent plastic for my own design, but either it was too expensive or there was nowhere that provided that kind of card.
Here’s my design:

Some more creative ideas for cards here: http://creativebits.org/cool_business_card_designs
Fabulous collection!!!..Good Work..Keep posting:)
What I wanna know is, where are the printers that help produce these cards? I have several good ideas, but I can’t exactly get them done at Kinko’s…
Thanks your post is funny.
I like your site..
ciao
Hey! – I\’m not exactly sure what this has to do with Prudential real estate las vegas (that\’s what I was searching on MSN when I saw a link here), but I\’m glad I got a chance to read your blog. Thanks!!
Those are wicked designs! I love em all!!
Oh yeah.. your comments are broken, you can fix it by adding overflow:hidden; on .commentlist li
Really neat ideas.
Some of the models are one of the best I ever seen, cool stuff indeed. You have to thank those pros of creativepro.com for putting in their news the link to Your site…
Great collection! Very inspiring and idea generating. I’d change mine, but I like it. (Reflects my website)

I like very much your business cards. I will like to order. I will apreciate if you can tell (help) me how can I do that.
Thank you
Funny I’ve seen two of those, because my mother is a graphic designer in vegas. Nice collection.
I want to know if you would be interested in an idea I have for business card holders.
I know there are no other card holders, but this could possible help increase your business.
Right at the present time you can only reach me by e-mail.
Thanks,
Pat

Great collection. It must have taken so time to create the list. Well done.
cool collection thanks
I was wondering where do you get these kind of media printed.
Please contact me at
dezignetc@gmail.com
Thank You
Although all of these cards are definitely cool, I’d imagine some of them are fairly expensive to produce. This is the fourth such list I’ve seen today and yet none have shown a dollar bill business card. Now, those are really cool… and they’re not expensive either!
Best Regards,
John

Does anyone know a good printing company for cool papers?
Some weeks ago I found this page and I was inspired! H-oouu-h, I’ve found these designs again, I really like it, thank you inspiredology.com. superb collection!!!
I don’t get it.
Most of these business cards (such as the connected matters card at the beginning) are really simple and basic, nothing “cool” about them.
At least, in my opinion.
Hi – Can someone email me the company websites that actually do these cards… oslaue@gmail.com …I would love to have my own business card. Thanks
I like the Estetic Cabinet cards – how one side kind of bleeds over to the other is great. Two-sided business cards are becoming the norm now, as these examples show. Many of the business cards here are simple in design, but use color very well. I don’t think the odd shaped ones will be kept by many people because it’s been shown that business cards of traditional size are more easily slipped into the wallet or Rolodex. This Design & Print blog post has good info about mistakes to avoid when designing business cards.
very cool designs…
good works!!!
waw…great design…
love it!
If you like these designs, you may also like to see my hand-cut pop-up business card.
When folded flat it is the same size as a standard business card.
Thank you very much.

Gorgeous stuff – very inspiring! Thanks.
I’d like to have seen a description for some of the non-English ones, but still, it’s great to see them as they are.
Some very elegant design,
but a printer’s nightmare!
Thank you for your time & trouble,
Hh
Some ideal designs here indeed.
thanks

I liked…
感谢你的设计给我的灵感,我是学装饰设计的,对名片设计一窍不通,谢谢!
Best list I’ve seen yet. These are real cards instead of some of the ‘objects’ you see that are more like trade show giveaways. You’re really showing a great deal of creativity here!
Awesome list! It seems like there really is no limit to what you can do with business cards. Only limited by a designer’s imagination.
Looks like I’ll have to work harder then eh? Fab designs!
Very Very Very Very Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Nice! It’s good to see the world of print design is alive and well.
Another great business card round-up.
As I read somewhere else, no matter how clever a business card is, if it doesn’t fit into a wallet or a filofax, then what is the point?
Excellent compilation. Inspiring, but how much do they cost to produce!
Great works……………..
Great Designs… i would definitely try these
ajua!! puro machin design ♥

If you like them let me know and I can make them for you too and customize them however you want
