Business Cards And Business Card Holder
Business card holders are designed to take the storage and display of business cards
to the next level - instead of having tatty piles, or bent corners from storage in pockets, or in sides of bags. No more problems with locating your business cards on a busy stand. Instead you can display and share your cards in chic units designed to maximise the attention lavished on your cards. Display units are usually made of clear or plain plastics. Pocket holders are more varied - and can be made of most elegant materials - brushed steel, leather, or other materials - the most important element again, is the ease of use and ability to remove business cards easily.Card holders are designed to be functional, yet austere. Their function is simple - ensure that there is adequate room for business cards and display them or store them under ideal circumstances. Other than that, business card holders are designed to work well with business cards - their function is simple, and as long as they meet that function, you've found an ideal business card unit. Most business card display units are made of moulded plastic - and can be designed to be integrated or 'joined up' into larger display units - these holders specifically are the best of flexibility and design - giving the end user unparalleled ease of display and use, without creating a burden of either having too few spaces for cards, or conversely, too many.
Austerity and elegance aside, the most important thing in the design of business card holders and display units is ease of use. As long as it meets all of the design criteria, and doesn't damage your cards, business card holders are probably one of the most practical tools you'll ever use out of the office - either on display stands or elsewhere.
Pocket business card holders range from slim - holding only around eight or ten cards, these are designed for you to carry your own cards - while others are designed to hold dozens or more. If you consider what you need, depending on the amount of cards you tend to give out at any given event. While it's easy to carry extras in a box that you can also store in a pocket, professional storage of your cards can also be a talking point. Design and aesthetics aside, your cards should be stored in an easily accessible unit.
Business card display units are designed to ensure that cards are stored efficiently, given maximum display space without making the cards inaccessible. These business card display units come in several dozen designs and styles. The best are 'tiered' units - units that rise like steps or similar designs, giving maximum display surface, without taking up additional room, or making the cards unavailable for any reason. These slim line design units are also great for other reasons - in many cases they're so plain that people don't notice they're even there until they are empty, meaning that all the attention is focussed on the cards themselves.
Business card stands are often designed to be flat and plain, but if you work in an industry where plain is a detriment - say with children - consider decorating the stand that you're placing your business cards on. Whether you put glitter or wrapping paper on them, design something eye catching and that serve your cards well. People working with cloth may want to 'dress' business cards for display, highlighting their talents as long as creating a talking point for their business cards. Plastic stands can be designed to either support or augment designs that highlight your specialities, without interfering with their function - which allows for greater creativity.
Business card holders and stands aren't constantly in use in most cases - so when not in use, you should store them carefully. Polish and dust your holders before storage, and put your business card holder away in a drawer. You should also always ensure that any business cards you are using are current - it looks terrible if you cross out and write different information on your cards, so always update and 'freshen' your cards whenever things such as your extension, job title, or email address change - alternatively, consider using a 'catch all' email address like Gmail to allow you to keep your email mobile, but not need to update cards at every address change.
Finally, remember your business cards, and your business card holders should look professional, and create a unified image between you, your company and your products. Without a unified, streamlined effect, your business card could end up in a bucket, not in business card holder.
