.010” thick, stainless steel, 2"x3.5" business card
You gotta start somewhere right? Business cards are an interesting aspect of modern adult communication. In some circles just having one can mean the difference between landing a job and not. For me I've always thought of them as micro art that can say a little about a lot or a lot about a little.
When I started conceiving the designed of the fortythree business card I really wanted it to represent me. To some that me sound a bit deep but when you have 2"x3.5" to help leave an impression you should make it count. Even before the initial doodling I knew I wanted the cards to be metal. I did some searching around and found Acu-Line Corporation a Seattle based company that specializes in photochemical etching. I sent them a email with some artwork attached and after a few emails back and forth (and some redesigns on my part) the cards showed up at my door. I can't say enough good things about Greg at Acu-Line. The guy was relentless about making sure the artwork was the best it could be before he made the initial plate.
The cards look great but just as important it the feel that really gets people. If you have an for a metal card or other metal etching pieces I suggest contacting Acu-Line.
