Eco Friendly Business Cards From Cereal Carton
When attending various trade shows and/or conferences you want to impress (empress/my_mistake:) the contacts you meet. You also want to be eco friendly so that your impact on nature is minimal. Thus this project: I make my business cards from cereal cartons with a black and white laser printer. They come out really neat, colorful and flashy. And they definitely make an impression.
Disassemble Cereal Carton
Find side of carton box which was factory glued and carefully detach the folded sheets by hand. Disassemble
Design Business Card
There are many programs out there which will enable you to do this. You can even do it in notepad if you're an avid user. Since I'm a Linux guy, I do it in gLabels. After you're done, make a test print on regular paper. Then superimpose the printed business cards on a standard Legal or A4 (if you're in Europe like I) over the carton from cereal and cut out a page for printing your great looking business cards.
Print Them Out and Cut'em
You may need to give the piece of carton a slight "push" if you're printer is not too cooperative. Mine just needs a verly light push. Voila, the business cards are ready for cutting. Use scissors or a fancy cutter and your eco friendly low budget cards are ready to bring you success!
