These cards are also out-of-the-box ideas that most clients would love to have, but would never have the guts to actually use. Hopefully you will enjoy the ideas presented here as much as I did and will get inspired to create your own cool designs.

Is your business flexible? If it's something you pride yourself on then why not illustrate it with a business card come elastic band.

This ingenous design was done for a computer hacker, the metal modelling kit is comprised of a set of lockpciking devices.

This card comes with it's own little waterproof bag, just in case you accidently put them in the wash. Of course the original owner of this business card was a swimming instructor.

Business cards that are all part of a bigger picture, a nice idea, even more so if your clients are crazy mad collectors.

These cards show what can happen if you put some thought into something as simple as a business card. Most people just slap on a few contact details and a logo never realising the potential of such a valuable marketing tool.
