Business cards are all the same, right? Wrong! While we're all used to fairly standard cardboard slips with people's details on them, there's no rule that says business cards have to look or behave in a certain way. When it comes to drawing attention to who you are and what you do, sometimes a creative business card is the hook that will get clients to remember you. Today we're checking out some amazing business cards with creative designs and who knows, they might provide you with a little bit of additional inspo too.

Creative Promotional Business Cards

Even in this day and age with digital technology everywhere, business cards are still handed out daily as part of networking and client meetings. Simply put, nothing beats the old-fashioned way of leaving your mark with someone via a business card. The following cards are extremely creative takes on the traditional business card with surprising and inspiring results.

This card is advertising a private art tutor and does so by making the card itself into a push-out easel you can construct. Not only is it extremely appropriate for the business, but it also allows creative interaction which will make it extremely memorable for a recipient. Plus recycled cardboard promotional items, another great bonus that recipients will look upon favourably.

This metal business card pushes out to become a set of lock-picking tools. Who could want to promote their skills using such a card? A robber? This card belongs to Kevin Mitnick, a convicted hacker who now works as a security specialist and is an expert and getting into computer systems. It's a creative approach and one that will stick with you, making it an ideal way for someone in Mitnick's field to advertise himself.

Here's another highly functional card, but one that wouldn't set back the owner nearly as much money to produce. This is a normal CMYK-printed cardboard business card, but it has been cut in a particular shape, so it's also usable as a custom tyre gauge. Obviously, for someone who is a tyre specialist, this is an ideal way to advertise and, if the tread comes back low after the client tests it, a great way to drum up business.

This one is particularly natty because it utilises the fact that promotional guitar picks are produced as part of plastic cards which you then push the picks out of to use them. So technically this isn't meant to be a business card, but it still performs the same function, AND it gives the recipient 4 guitar picks to use! Talk about a smart idea!
