Custom  Business  Card  Holders    Everyone  in  the  modern  world  is  accustomed  to  being  shown  business  cards  by  people  as  a  way  of  attracting  potential  customers;  such  is  a  familiar  sight  both  in  the  real  world  and  on  TV.  The  manufacturing  of  business  cards  is  thus  a  big  business,  with  literally  billions  of  them  being  made  every  day.  They  are  certainly  a  very  convenient  way  of  getting  to  know  somebody‚  business‚  they  are  small  enough  to  fit  into  the  pocket,  and  they  contain  within  that  small  space  all  the  information  that  one  needs  to  know.    The  typical  business  man  will  have  many  of  his  business  cards,  and  so  in  addition  to  the  cards  themselves,  many  companies  will  also  make  a  custom  business  card  holder  on  demand.  On  form  for  a  business  card  holder  basically  comes  in  the  shape  of  a  small  envelope  made  of  a  translucent  plastic,  similar  to  polypropylene.  The  flap  is  usually  curved  (rather  than  sharp,  as  with  a  letter  envelope),  and  has  a  small  slit  so  that  it  can  be  held  closed.  The  client  can  choose  which  color  he  wishes  the  holder  to  be.  Such  holders  are  useful  for  carrying  cards  around  in  such  a  way  that  they  can  be  protected.  Likewise,  a  business  card  holder  with  company  logo  has  recently  been  designed  in  the  form  of  a  large  folder  whose  dimensions  are  3  11/16"  x  2  5/16"  x  5/16".  It  is  made  with  the  highest  quality  German  printing  technology,  with  a  crystal-­‐clear  poly  dome  and  a  polished  chrome  finish,  giving  the  already  brilliant  colors  a  pleasing  shine.  The  company  logo  can  be  imprinted  on  the  front  flap,  which  can  be  held  in  a  closed  position  by  a  string  running  through  a  hole  in  the  envelope.    Not  all  business  card  holders  are  made  in  the  envelope  form  just  described;  some  are,  in  fact,  quite  different.  There  are  branded  business  card  holders  that  are  made  of  wood;  one  such  holder  has  a  black  walnut  base  with  the  special  event  inscribed  on  it,  with  the  holder  part  made  of  spalted  maple.  Also  present  is  a  small  round  hole  near  the  holder.  Such  card  holders  can  cost  from  $100  to  $500.  Permission  from  the  owner  is,  of  course,  required  for  using  a  registered  trademark.  And  then  there  is  the  business  card  holder  that  is  simply  a  small  wooden  box  into  which  the  cards  can  be  placed;  these  are  much  cheaper.    Here  are  some  other  business  card  holders  for  sale  at  various  outlets:    -­‐  leather  and  metal  business  card  holder‚  choice  of  five  colors  for  base  and  lid;  customer  may  set  his  own  imprint    -­‐  economy  business  card  holder‚  three  choices  of  cover  color;  flap  can  be  folded  back  to  convert  the  holder  into  a  desktop  item;  costs  as  little  as  65    -­‐  snap  card  holder‚  can  be  snapped  shut  with  a  button;  removable  plastic  insert  can  hold  up  to  forty  cards;  looks  clean  and  finished;  imprint  debossed    -­‐  clear  desktop  holder‚  no  other  colors  available;  holds  up  to  forty  cards;  gives  customers  easy  access  to  business  cards;  sells  for  as  little  as  69
