Vertical Business Cards

One of the newest trends in the business card industry is vertical business cards. While they are not innovative or much different from traditional business cards, vertical business cards are an easy way to make your cards stand out so people will take notice and remember your company. Here are some ways you can make your vertical business cards more creative and more attractive.

Raised Ink

Having raised ink on your vertical business cards is much like embossing them but it is less expensive and it is not as noticeable. In fact, you may not even know it has raised ink until you run your fingers over the letters. But this will give your vertical business cards a touch of style and class which will make them stand out against your competitors.

Foil Stamp

Putting a foil stamp on your vertical business cards will give them a sophisticated touch that your competition probably doesn't utilize. Foil stamps come in a variety of colors so you can get one to match your company's color scheme. You can get your company's name stamped in foil on your vertical business cards or your logo stamped in foil as well. With the help of a professional business card designer, you can choose the best foil stamp for your cards that will capture the attention of your customers and clients.

3D Effects

If you want to make your vertical business cards memorable, consider using 3D effects on them. 3D effects come in a wide variety of possibilities. For instance, why not make your vertical business cards a hologram? A hologram appears to show one picture on your cards at a certain angle and the picture changes when you tilt the card to a different angle. One image can be a picture that shows what your company does and the other angle can show your contact information. Or if you have a salon or some other type of business that specializes in the beauty or makeover industry, one image can show a person's "before" picture and the other one can show their "after" picture to showcase how you can change a person's image for the better.

Recycled Materials

With more and more businesses moving towards eco-friendly materials, you can impress your customers and your clients who are trying to be more environmentally responsible by using recycled materials for your vertical business cards. From soy ink to carbon neutrality and materials that have been recycled, you can decrease your company's carbon footprint while increasing your customer base.

Refrigerator Magnets

Vertical business cards are a great way to get a customer's attention, but what do they do with those cards after a couple weeks? In some cases, they probably get lost in the shuffle of their papers and eventually get thrown away. But if you make your vertical business cards into refrigerator magnets, your customers will keep them in a handy place where they will be reminded of your company every time they get something to eat.
