The Method

Simple, yet effective design can make all the difference when it comes to creating a plastic business card. A fantastic card does not need to use every color in the rainbow or even two colors. Sometimes the simple designs can create the most "wow" for your customers.

Most companies are aware of Kelly Johnson's K.I.S.S. Method, Keep It Stupid Simple. We at PlasticPrinters.com think that taking the basic principle of this method to heart can be the most cost effective path to a fantastic and dramatic first impression. Take a look at this card, it is a show-stopper! This modest design doesn't have a lot of bright colors to catch the eye, rather a one two color back with blocker. This way, the cost to produce the card is low and the impact is still through the roof!

"...The black and white palm tree image is printed first, then a layer of white blocker. Then another layer of black is printed to create the solid area on the back with the contact information. Lastly, the gold squiggle in the logo and the website are printed in metallic gold..."

The Design

You may be thinking that the simple yet effective design is perfect in theory but in practice harder to complete. Don't worry! PlasticPrinters.com has a design team that can take your card from just another piece of plastic to the artwork of legends. The sky is the limit. Something as simple as putting your logo in a gradient black or white can transform your image to create the needed pop to keep your company in the minds of your customers.

For example, this customer had their card flooded black on frosted stock to let the translucent nature of the material show through. This is a simple yet effective use of the color and material. Most are used to seeing this logo in red, white and blue. Changing something from color to the absence of color, transformed an image into an elegant statement
