A good business card won’t ensure your success, but it can definitely help! The best business card can make all the difference in the first impression that you have on someone, or whether or not you leave an impression at all, so here are 30 custom business cards that will get you thinking about how you might want to present yourself!

Many of us are probably guilty of accepting personal info cards out of politeness and then just throwing them away or forgetting about them (I know I am). These creative business cards, however, stay with you – psychologically or physically. Some of these business card designs double as useful tools, product samples or funny little toys, while others manage to make a point about the person on the card that will stick more than just a name and an address.

With the emphasis placed on networking these days, it’s more important than ever to stand out of the crowd – and here are a few good business card ideas for how to do it! For other great examples of creative marketing and design, check out our packaging and bagvertising posts.
