Die-cutting is a process for business card printing where there are custom cuts made to the business card so that it is no longer the traditional rectangle. Die-cutting is usually a bit more expensive, but it gives an ability to customize a business card in some pretty clever ways.

One of the most common uses for die-cutting is to create a business card that has a shape to match the client’s services. So, a pet trainer might have a business card die-cut to look like a dog bone, or a hair stylist might have one that looks like a comb.

Here’s some examples of cleverly designed die-cut business cards:
