Fold of the Week: Wild Folded Business Cards
Hi! I’ve got this really cool collection of creatively folded business cards in the Foldfactory archive, and I decided that today is the day to share some of my favorites with you.
Here’s what’s great about this week’s episode:
- It’s cool to see something that everyone expects to receive in a specific format (in this case, a small rectangle) reinvented in creative ways.
- I think you’ll appreciate how some of the ideas are truly fun and aesthetic, and some are designed to sell by presenting a lot more information than a standard business card can hold.
I've just always wanted to share these with you. I hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching — I appreciate you.
