Plastic business cards are made
from durable material that will outlast any standard business card. However,
durability is only one of the major advantages of plastic
business cards. They also stand out, are recognizable by touch, and make a
solid favorable impression.
There are two basic varieties of
plastic business cards: transparent and solid.
Transparent plastic business cards are made
from lightweight plastic that can be clear or tinted one of a number of colors.
Because these cards are transparent, they can only be printed on one side.
While more basic than their solid cousins, they are perfect for many types of
businesses. Transparent plastic business cards have square corners, like paper
cards, and normally use one-color printing with minimal artwork. Because the
cards are waterproof and won't get dirty, they are an excellent choice for
scuba instructors, plumbers, automotive shops, house cleaning services, courier
services, and all types of home businesses or services.
Solid plastic business cards have
rounded corners and resemble credit cards. They can be printed on both sides in
multicolor, photographic, high-resolution graphics. The diversity of this card
surpasses that of the transparent variety, making solid plastic business cards
a great value. Whenever clients or customers handle one of these cards, they
are apt to be impressed all over again. Customers might also be less likely to
throw away a plastic business card, as it seems to have more worth than a paper
card.
