At a time when most people network via LinkedIn or some other form of social media, business cards can seem somewhat obsolete — they’re usually shoved in our wallet behind yesterday’s lunch receipt, never to be heard from again. It doesn’t help that most of them are pretty unmemorable, a few lines of personal information spelled out against a faceless background of bright white card stock. But just the way a beautifully handwritten note stands out in a bevy of text messages and chats, a unique and imaginative business card leaves a lasting impression. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite examples after the jump.
