72 Stunning Business Cards That Will Blow You Away


Business cards are so important when it comes to networking. They provide prospects with our contact info and, more importantly, a lasting impression. My rule of thumb good business card design is if people are no longer “oohing” and “ahhing” over my cards, it’s time to make a change.

The following is a sampling of business card designs from Creattica.com. If you’re thinking of redesigning your cards, looking for a little inspiration or just need a little eye-candy over your coffee break, take a peek at the eye-catching pieces below.

    Great collection, and even better inspiration. Thanks!!!

  2. PG Robin Bastien

    Beautiful list! Man I really want to be pointed to an online printer that has many different paper stocks and with custom cutting

  3. PG KCO

    Wow, how cute! XD Maybe I should tweak my card design too.

  4. PG Ayo Adigun

    This makes me want to throw all my cards away and start from scratch…

  5. Thank you for featuring our ninja cards! :D

  6. PG Bhushan

    Amazing collection!
    @ Ayo same thought here!

  7. PG sporlogoday

    Thank you for sharing. Nice collections

  8. PG Judith

    You are making my very “cool” business card look almost extinct in terms of design. But, great ideas here. very good cards (mzuri sana). Great post.

  9. PG Reality Check

    How much business did they generate or are they just very attractive overhead?

  10. PG Michael

    Great list! Here is another nice list that i saw recently http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/05/100-really-creative-business-cards/

    it will blow your mind :)

    Businesscards don’t need to boring! A very nice collection :-)

  14. PG Matt

    Great to see some cards I haven’t seen before. Not that they aren’t cool, but I don’t really need to see the card that folds into a car and all those others that keep showing up in these lists anymore. Thanks!

  15. PG Benek

    Nice cards, but I’m not “blown away.” I wish people would stop writing ridiculous title like this.

  16. PG Brandon Burke

    Thanks for keeping it real Benek.

  17. PG Laith Ibrahim

    A very nice collection! Those who were not “Blown away” are perhaps too heavy :) I’m sending this message from outer space :)

  18. PG Kristof

    Not to take anything away from the designers of these cards — this is very nice collection of creative designs — but I feel your choice of wording “blow you away” greatly exaggerates and over promises. In this day and age when video can be incorporated into a business card and new materials are being experimented with, it would take a lot to shock someone into awe. Again, quality designs, but nothing ground breaking.

  19. PG Steven Schafer

    These are some really great cards. I have a lot of fresh inspiration after viewing these. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

  37. PG Kevin

    Hey everyone, asweome list…I am trying to figure out how to get my cards printed with a function like the dots on flisky.net or the letters on the LIFT cards. Anyone know what that is called and where I can get cards printed with it?

    Thanks!

  38. PG Rex

    Very Impressive……where can i get some of these……………..

  39. PG Rebecca Sheldon

  40. PG Callum Chapman

    Nice round-up! IGS and Lift are very nice!

  41. PG Paul Henry

    An excellent collection of business cards. I was blown away.

    However, those cards look like they are all made from card. Maybe there is a tin or aluminium one there too.

    How about a card that is made from meat? http://www.meatcards.com/

  42. I’m amazed by the creativity people have when creating a 3×2 piece of paper with there name on it!

  43. PG Rob

    I am pretty sure the see through plastic card came from http://www.plasmadesign.co.uk/plasticbusinesscards.htm

  44. PG Tim

    Wonderful design. Well done.

  45. PG Leo Mendes

  46. PG Dave

    Finally! Great list of creative and good looking business cards that haven’t been featured in every other list I’ve seen. Some of these were very well designed, and gave me some new ideas for our cards. I’m quite impressed with this list.

  54. PG Matt Chatterley

    Some cool ones there – some are nothing extra special, though. Particularly like the clever folding and cut-outs, though.

    Puts my simple cut-corner cards to shame!

  55. PG Craig Minch

    Rey’s Barber Salon cards are a rip for some cards I did 3 years ago for a friend.

  56. PG kevin

    craig.. your’s is a rip off the MLB logo…

    business cards are so over-done… they all end up in a shoebox full of people I should have cared about, but never did.

  57. PG freda a faulknermunn
