Business Cards Land

We’ve all seen them, heck we’ve featured a TON of them on this site…those nifty cards with the cutouts somewhere on them.  Whether it’s a cutout of a star, initials, or just interesting cutouts on one or two corners.  There’s some good news and some bad news when it comes to these cutouts.  First, the good news:  They DO help your card, they DO make it look extremely interesting and more creative.  Now, the bad news:  They are a lot more expensive.  Laser or die cutting can cost a great deal more money than traditional business cards and as such, make it not really worth it for the vast majority of us.  Until this tip, that is.

Here’s a money saving business card tip for you…you can do the cutouts yourself!  See the business card above? You can have those cut-out letters they have for a lot cheaper than having them professionally die-cut for you.  Yes, it will take a lot more time, yes, it will get extremely annoying, but yes, it will save you a great deal of money.  Say you ordered your next batch of 500 business cards from OvernightPrints.com.  This alone will save you a HUGE amount of money over those expensive printing houses while keeping the quality just as top-notch.  If you wanted to achieve the very same results as the card above, why not include those letters “y” and “k” in black on the original card and then when they arrive, take an Xacto-Knife and with a few small cuts you can have them cutout too!  Save you a bundle and still have awesome effects!

So, why not experiment with some designs that allow you to do the tedious cut0ut job at home?  I know it will be a pain the the rear, I know it will take a great deal longer, but the bottom line is, it will save you a ton of money while keeping the quality extremely high!
