3. Letterpress Tea Bag Business Cards

These stunning letterpress business cards are simple and refined, but they certainly stand out!  Instead of the typical rectangular card, they’re shaped like tea bags, which fit the business name perfectly.  This same type of design would also work well for clothing tags.

Gold foil is an amazing way to highlight an aspect of your business card design!  In these map cards, the countries and business name are in a shiny, gold foil material, adding a vintage, elegant feel.  This is a great way to affordably, professionally stand out!
