38 Tough Wooden Business Card Examples
If you want your business card to stand out, you have to be different. One way to do this is to use a different material other than paper for your business card. How about a wooden business card? If your business is related to wood, then you might want to explore this option.
We all wish our business cards are trash proof. Since business cards are our best marketing tool, our ultimate goal is for people to keep them and eventually connect with us in the future. Many prospective clients are lost simply because of a crappy business card.
So how can we influence people to keep our cards for future reference? Well, make them stand out and make them tough so people will have a second thought of throwing them away. Wooden business cards are a perfect example because they look really unique and they look tough, and therefore, have longer lives.
Traditionally, people used wooden business cards for businesses and professions related to wood such as carpenters, cabinet makers, architects, builders, and interior designers. But over the years, other professionals such as photographers, graphic designers, and other people in the creative industry have also started using wood as a canvas for their business cards. Logos and details on the cards are usually laser-printed or engraved.
Below, we put together a total of 38 beautiful and tough examples of wooden business card designs that can serve as inspiration in case you want a similar concept for yourself. However, make sure to check out each example by visiting the original source. To do that, simply click on the preview image of each card. I wish you a happy day ahead.
