In the world of digital marketing, email, copywriting, and everything being online, you might be wondering if the world even needs custom plastic business cards! Well, they do, and your business needs to be printing plastic business cards to reach a brand new customer base.

Plastic business cards are very impressive because not a lot of people are using them to promote their business. They provide a tactical reminder of your business that customers and clients can hang up on their fridges or keep in their wallets to make sure that they always know about your content.

What Is The Best Material For Business Cards?

One of the best materials for a business card is plastic (PVC). It is much thicker than paper and feels better in your hand, and it also offers a lot of customizability for you. Plastc business cards usually comes with size of 2.125 x 3.375” which is the same size as a credit card. The traditional size 2 x 3.5” are also very popular in the market.

Printing a good set of plastic business cards can help you impress your clients and can allow you and your business to stand out.

However, there's a fine line between your card being something that is placed on the fridge and thrown out in the trash. Often this choice is made at the design for your plastic business cards, and if you want to impress your customers you need to have a good business card design.
