What do you think about something like this:Is it practical? Would it be expensive to mass produce a business card like this?
LetchaSurf, practical? Absolutely not! Definitely awesome though! In order for me to recommend these business cards, I would need to really think about whether it would be appropriate for that particular industry. For the banking industry, probably not a good idea, but for a sales career, these might be the best business cards you could get! Here’s why:
1. They’re unique and attract attention.
2. They’re memorable and will make you memorable.
3. They’re so new, most people won’t ever have seen them.
4. Customers will show their friends.
For those four key reasons, these business cards could turn into the most profitable and exciting marketing campaign you’ve ever tried, and at the cost of business cards!

Note Cards - Another Use for Business Cards
Business cards are great for many things. One of my favorite is origami. They are also great to leave notes for customers. If you frequently go out to your customers offices and sometimes they aren’t there, leave them a business card that says, “Sorry I missed you, I’ll call you later.” If you write that on the back of your business card, you are leaving them a nice note to tell them you stopped by, but also letting them know you are serious. You left a business card.
I also use my business cards as reminders. Whenever I set an appointment or schedule a meeting, I write it on the back of my business card. At the end of the day or week (whenever I get around to it), I pull these business cards out and type them into my computer. Then I set my reminder to remind me of that appointment.
Because I always carry business cards with me, they are the perfect note card!

Business Card Origami - The Ultimate Guide
Business card origami
…is the art of taking business card and folding (sometimes cutting and gluing) them into various shapes, patterns, toys, and anything else the artist can dream up. Many of these different pieces have real pictures, some are theoretical. Many of these I have personally made. Some of these I would never even dream that I could create.So here you go, a list of the best business card origami on the internet.
Please send in additional links and business card origami resources!
Cube:
The cube is one of the easiest and best introduction to business card origami. If you can create this cube, you can create other business card art. For a tutorial on creating the business card cube there is no better teacher than Ned Batchelder. Ned, as far as I know, was the first person to document his creation on the internet. 6 cards are needed.
I’ve been creating business card cubes for many years with slight variations.

Business Card Case:
More fun than functional, this business card case is created with regular paper. Maybe this isn’t business card origami, but it’s still fun and business card related.
I’ve never made a business card case like this.
This piece of origami uses a regular 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. The website below has a downloadable PDF with instructions.

Business Card Jumping Frog:
The greatest thing about this jumping frog is the fact that he actually will jump. I made this piece last night and got mine to jump almost 12″. After about 20 jumps he was still very springy and was still jumping almost a foot. Great for a class project. Maybe a jumping frog competition.
Jeanine Meyer, Ph. D, is a professor that uses these jumping frogs as teaching tools.

Various Shapes:
This site has a wonderful collection of various shapes many of which I can’t pronounce and should only be attempted by a mathematician. The author of this site admits that he doesn’t know how to make many of these shapes. However, they are great reference and show exactly what can be done with business cards.

Great pictures of actual creations
Business Card Bow Tie:
I don’t have instructions for this piece, and have never made it.
Just by looking at it you should be able to imagine how simple it would be to recreate even without knowing the specific folds, or knowing which fold should be first.
Good luck!
Business Card Flapping Bird:
This site doesn’t have the best instructions, but the pictures document this bird perfectly. It is a difficult piece, but one you’ll keep forever. The bird is small, only about one inch long, but is expertly crafted and documented. I wish the pictures were a little higher quality.
Business Card Puppy:
Sorry about this one, no instructions.
Create this standing dog, document it, take pictures and I’ll post it for you.
Traditional Frog:
Another one without instructions.
This frog doesn’t jump, but looks much more realistic. As with the puppy, if you create this, document it and take some pictures I’ll give you credit and host the pictures for you right here!
Business Card Ram:
This ram is one of my favorite business card animal origami pieces. However, it looks very difficult, especially trying to get those horns curved. No explanation or instructions for this one, but give it a try and let me know how it goes.
That’s about all I have for now. I’ll keep updating this page as I find more pictures and business card origami. If you have anything, please send it in!
