Scruffy Napkin Business Cards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Unique Business Card Will Make Sure You Stand Out

— May 21, 2014 — Marketing
The folks over at Sweet Water Press have created a unique business card designed to look like a napkin.

Normally, scrawling your contact info on a cocktail napkin is considered "unprofessional," "amateurish" and generally bad form. But what happens when your official business card is, technically speaking, a napkin? It's a hilarious ice-breaker at any networking event, that's what. To look extra believable, the text appears as though it has been scribbled on the napkin's surface in pen -- albeit, a very clear, easy-to-read scribble.

Pulling one of these napkin-cards from the pocket of your sleek suit will definitely earn you a few double-takes! But if there's one thing that's appreciated in the business world, it's the ability to think outside the box.
