Business Card Thickness
Martin wrote:
What is the average paper thickness of a good business card?
Martin, thanks for the question. Business card thickness depends on the business card. If you’re printing plastic business cards, they’re usually the size of a credit card in terms of thickness. That usually equates to .020″ to .030″. If you’re printing paper business cards, that a different story, and different measurement.
Traditional business cards usually measure somewhere between 12 and 16 pts. I personally prefer business cards to be 16 pts. That makes them thick enough to be a very professional card, but not so thick they don’t fit in any kind of business card holder.
Hope that helps!

Business Cards for a Proxy Website

What would be a good succesful business card for a Free Proxy site?
Thanks for the question Numb3rs. As for proxies and business cards, you probably just shouldn’t. Proxies are disposable. Especially since your target audience is generally students who are trying to get around school firewalls and filters.
The best way to market your proxy is not through business cards, but word of mouth. Try something viral and save your business card money for something else.
Thanks!

Graham Gosling’s Business Cards
Graham Gosling is a photographer based in Dublin (Ireland right Graham?). He has been taking pictures of mundane everyday things and crafting intricate works of art. As with his photography, Graham created his business cards in the same manner, personally and with an eye for detail.
His business cards are orange on the front with a white sans-serif font, all lowercase. Information includes name, occupation, phone number and website address. No physical mailing address.
On the back of his busines card is where the difference lies, he has one of his original pieces filling the entire back of his card.
After looking at his card for the last few days, one of the only suggestions I would have for Graham is to add the title of the photograph/art piece in white down where the blue (waves) are located. You could use the same font to achieve a nice contrast.
Great cards Graham, simple and elegant!

Using the “Blink Test”
The “Blink Test” is where you put something in front of you, blink, then see what you see first when your eyes open. Usually color and bold writing is seen first, what do you see first on your business card?
Obviously different business cards will show different things. For me, I want my name and company name to be seen first. That is why my business card is red, but my name is in a bold white font.
When I do the blink test, I see my name first, just as I want it. This is important because subconsciously this is what people see first when the look at your business card so make it memorable!
