Perfectly Pressed Plaid

These incredibly intricate plaid business cards designed by Mark Saunders were skillfully letterpress printed by Studio On Fire (of course!).

Remo Caminada

Remo Caminada has a portfolio full of amazingness, including packaging that won a European Design award (and has been featured on every blog in the universe), some amazing corporate identity projects and a genius business card concept for a dentist. But at the moment, I'm particularly enjoying the fantastic color and type of his poster work.

Mandate Press

As a graphic designer, I've labored over my own business cards time and time again, rethinking, second guessing, redesigning, reprinting, and every time the result seems like it wasn't quite worth the work. Next time, I'll definitely keep it simple and head to the fine folks at Salt Lake City letterpress studio Mandate Press.

They recently printed both my wife's and a coworker's business cards, and I have to say, for letterpress-printed business cards under $100, I challenge you to find anything of higher quality. They make the process easy, offering several well-designed options as templates, allowing you to simply type in the information you would like on the card and voila! You are now the proud owner of beautiful letterpress-printed business cards.

I've been paid nothing and have no reason to shamelessly promote someone this way, except for the fact that I'm familiar with both their work and customer service and I'm loving everything about their operation....Keep up the great work, and thanks for making it easy for us Mandate Press!

Jessica Hische

A testament to attention to detail and precision, Jessica Hische's letterpress-printed business cards are an exercise in printing perfection. Imagine trading your business card for this, talk about feeling like a slacker...

Card Observer

I know we've all seen the flickr sets and random posts that have been surfacing around the blogosphere on business card design lately, but in my opinion, the definitive source for business card design is Card Observer. It is constantly updated with new designs, so you'll see the newest trends and ideas as they're printed, and each card is featured along with both the designer and client's name so you can dig further into their work if you like. A brilliant idea and fantastic execution!
