Check Out These ‘Magic: The Gathering’-Inspired Business Cards

Posted on by

The Gathering Business Card

There are geeks, there are realtors– and then there are geeky realtors like Donna who represent the best of both worlds. It takes more than just determination and persistence to make a sale these days, so she decided to win over clients and potential buyers by becoming a legendary creature in her own right.

Instead of handing out plain old boring business cards, she customized a set inspired by Magic: The Gathering to make players and non-MTG players pay attention.

Is she as good as her card claims? For that, you’ll have to play her in person.

SwivelCard: half business card, half flash drive, all awesome

Posted on by
SwivelCard-620x465

People in business hand and receive so many different business cards that it is hard to make a difference. And that is exactly why SwivelCard stands out.

Flash drives and business cards on their own are not that special in the 21st century, yet SwivelCard has come up with a solution for those who need to stand out. SwivelCard is a business card that has a very special portion, meant to be tinkered with, folded and transformed into a USB drive. This USB drive, then, just needs to be plugged on a USB port into any computer, and users will be able to access the data on it. While it stores less than 1MB, that’s more than enough for your entire resume, highlights of your portfolio and even links to your website.

The cool thing about it, though, is that the owner of the card can remotely reprogram and change the destination page to keep the information in it updated. Furthermore, one can track when and how these cards are seen giving the owner complete control over the information the interested party is seeing. Want to own it? Well, good news, it’s up on KickStarter , so everyone who is interested can support it and get their hands on them.

Keep Cards Like a Boss: Mini Briefcase Business Card Case

Mini Briefcase Card Case

This looks just like one of those briefcases that the girls on Deal or No Deal brandish until their number is called and they have to open it to reveal the amount within. However, the only thing you’ll find when you flip this open are business cards, because that’s the only thing that’ll fit inside it.

Pictures don’t lie, but they can be pretty deceiving. For instance, what you see above is actually the Mini Briefcase Business Card Case, which looks just like the regular-sized version at first glance.

Mini Briefcase Card Case1

 

The card case is made from aluminum and can hold approximately 20 to 25 business cards. It can also hold your cash, change, credit cards, IDs, and whatever else that you can fit into it.

The Mini Briefcase Business Card Case retails for $11.99.

DIY Business Cards That Light Up When Passed Out Will Definitely Catch Everyone’s Attention

Posted on by

Touch-Enabled Business Card

The point in handing out business cards is to get people to get back to you. Hopefully, you made a good enough first impression to the person you handed it out to. But in case you didn’t, then you can let your card do the work for you. All it takes is a little ingenuity, a higher-than-usual budget for cards, and some skills–much like the ones Jay Kickliter has when he came up with his DIY electronic business cards that light when it’s touched.

Jay created the calling cards for a job fair and used a capacitive touch printed circuit board to build the whole thing. It’s a creative way to show off your skills if your line of work is connected to electronics. Jay is happy to teach anyone interested in making their own cards and has published instructions on how to do it on his site.

Hit the break to check out a video of the business cards in action–or rather, in circulation.

Moocom working on NFCequipped business cards, kicks off limited beta program today

Do you recall those fancy business cards that took a design cue straight out of your adored Facebook Timeline? Well, the company behind such neat idea is now working on bringing cards equipped with NFC technology, which will allow folks to add things like email address, URLs and even pinpoint locations for easy access via any maps application.

Moo plans on having the NFC-ready cards available to the masses by 2013 -- that said, the startup's currently running a beta program where it will allow 150,000 lucky folks get a complimentary card with their order of a traditional sheet.

Engineer makes light-up business cards with 555 timer, proves PCB skills

Sure, there have been some pretty creative variations on the standard paper business card, but if you're looking to make a career in electronics engineering, card stock isn't necessarily the best option for material. Such was the case for one student, who had the canny idea to make a card that demonstrates his printed circuit board know-how. He used a 555 timer that outputs a clock to the LEDs on the biz card, and placing a nine-volt battery on the terminals sets off the mini light show. See for yourself in the video below.
