This Week in Builds

prototype card holder
I made this is a little business card holder earlier this week. It is purposefully shorter than the length of the cards. I wanted to use the holder as an experiment. To design something with less material that enhances the card’s design as well as our brand. But will it work?
Will the cards look like crap in a week? Will the edges become ragged with exposure? Perhaps. But my hunch tells me otherwise. I think the structure of the grouped cards will give them a strength beyond what we’d expect from the individual units.
I may be wrong. We’ll see. I’ll let you know if a few weeks.

    One other functional component to consider is a notch that will easily allow you slide an individual card out.

    Wow, some of those are so beautiful! Thanks for sending it on. I thought about putting a notch in there, but it didn’t work with the design of our cards, so I opted for the functionality of the notch (being able to touch the card) without the rest.
