They look amazing. I'm not sure if I can share the website details here. I'm wondering, do you think it's worth paying the extra money to get a plastic business card. They're certainly eye catching.

One thing I have noticed especially scanning business cards with my phone and for a client is the the more complicated, the harder to scan and glean information. __________________ Lee Drozak My Office Assistant

I looked at plastic buisness cards for a moment, but if you are doing it right you will be handing buisness cards over like you wouldnt imagine (for networking) and that very quickly can become very expensive. It's cool, but just not cost effective, and more often than not your cards can end up in the trash. __________________ Amanda Mock My Virtual Little Helper

He had them designed in a smoke color with silver writing and they were vertical instead of the standard horizontal. They looked awesome and were definitely a conversation piece, which helped him market his business uniqueness. The difficulty I found when distributing them was that there is no way to write on them if you need to adjust or add info. __________________ Carolan @ Seguine Enterprises www.seguine.info
