Luice Design is currently running a makeover design contest! You should check it out! This is the business card that inspired it all!

It's such a classic example of taking a totally pathetic business card and turning into a beautiful piece of art!

Here's the before pic! Yuck!

And here's the beautiful after pic! Awesome!

They gave this card the royal treatment. Basically took it from trash to talk of the town. With a 16 pt. business card stock and spot UV, heads will be spinning once this thing hits the streets!

So if you have yourself a nasty looking card, give them a call. They might just wanna give you a makeover!

This is a foil business card!

This is a metallic business card!

Can you tell the difference between these two styles offered by design pros at Luice Design?

Let me break it down to you because a lot of people are constantly asking "What's the difference, yo?"

Foil business cards are totally shiny! And not in the UV glossy sense, but more of a color reflection sense. It's a combination of 4 colors plus silver foil with a UV coat on top.

Metallic business cards are made with special ink by adding a special silver into the mix. The result is a subtle sparkle in the color...giving it that "metallic" look. It's a great choice to spruce up a business card and make it stand out....especially if you're going all out and getting other features like die-cuts or extra thick 16pt silk cards.

This is hot stuff! GLITTER cards!

It's literally glitter! Like the stuff you used to play with when you were a kid? Or maybe you still do play with it!? Whatev! Now you can get it on your cards.

This feature can be used all over the card or in specific spots like with spot UV business cards. This feature would be great on something like a silk business card.

So call Luice Design today to get your custom quote for the new glitter cards.

Luice Design is rolling out some amazing stuff this month. Another new product is hitting the books!

This card features two new options for your printing needs. First, as you can tell it has gold stamping which is a new offering! Secondly, it comes on a new kind of stock that almost feels like construction paper, only a bit thicker. The closest stock carried would be something like linen business card stock, but much improved.

You've gotta get your hands on this card! Before anyone else has a chance to show you up!

Thermography cards have been around since I was a baby, in the 80s. It's nothing new, but the way Luice Design does it makes it seem like a whole new trick.

Using similar technology as the Spot UV cards, these cards use raised ink to get a really nice texture. Your clients will rave about how good these cards feel and their customers won't be able to stop fiddling with them! I can't. CHECK ITTTT.

Do you remember way back when when I blogged about a new and upcoming product called "Silk X?" Well it's outta the bag now!

I'd like to introduce, Silk Squared and it is truly badass. I've always been a big fan of silk cards so it's really nice to have a new silk product.

Basically silk squared is pretty self explanatory. It's double the thickness of the thickest silk card. 32pts! That's like two thick-as-hell cards in one! Actually it quite literally is two cards in one. One gets glued on top of the other. This opens up a whole new range of options when it comes to die-cutting. You can make 3-d cards that have some depth to it because of the double-layer thing.

If 32 pt is too thick, well you can customize your thickness on the two cards to get different thicknesses. Get a 12pt and a 14 pt to get 26pt!

Check out Luice Design's site today and get a custom quote for your new Silk Squared product!

Not like the color green...like the green movement. You know? Eco-friendly! Come on, get with it! We all know the printing industry wastes a lot of paper so it's nice to see Luice Design take a stance and be an industry leader in recycled printing. Not to mention that they use all soy-based inks, all cards are also offered on recycled paper! It's great!

You can get all your favorite design options with this paper. Full color foil business cards! Metallic printing. And metal business cards are great because they don't even use paper!

Sometimes as a designer, you gotta do whatever it takes to make your customer a happy one. That often means coming up with some outrageous combination of printing options to suit your client's specific needs.

This card for example, recently printed by print-gods at Luice Design features several popular options!

This beautiful, sleek card features 16 pt silk stock and is foil stamped with that silver.

It doesn't get any better! It's good to have options and provide your clients with choices. They'll really appreciate it when you use your superior knowledge of printing styles to come up with something incredible like this.

But if you do...it's okay! They're freaking waterproof!

That's right. Luice Design has been selling these lovely waterproof business cards for quite some time and down in sunny south Florida, they come in handy!

Imagine you're on a boat party, and you want to hand out some cards to some beautiful people who just got in from the Ocean. Have some imagination here, okay?!

If they're dripping wet, your business card will fall apart in their hands! It'll go limp! You don't want that!

Give them a nice stiff business card! These guys are durable and long-lasting...so they appeal to people who don't live near water. They truly stand up to time's destructive properties!

Get them!!!!

Wanna know what a totally awesome business card looks like?

Dang! That's fresh. Luice Design is always inspiring me and I can only hope to share this and maybe inspire my fellow creatives, clients and followers because this is truly something special!

It's not every day you get a business card like this. Yes it's a big job, yes it's complicated, yes it's expensive. Is it worth it? Absolutely because it's also 100% unique and original. It's completely awesome in every way. It's so big that it'll knock your socks off. The person who hands this business card to someone probably makes connections like no other. People will talk about it to each other. Oh there goes so-and-so with the amazing business cards!

Sounds silly but I'm dead serious! These beautiful custom-made four panel business cards were made by getting together with the designers to discuss. You won't find this as a standard option!
