These kinds of business cards embody the particular trade of their owner. Their design should be related or have symbolisms to the trade. If you are into plastics you may have a plastic business card. If you are a baker why not print full color business cards shaped like bread? Basically, trade business cards should give the image of a particular trade so that you can easily be remembered as a part of that industry.

Corporate business cards

Business cards in the corporate world are of cure a whole other type altogether. They differ from trade business cards since the focus of a corporate business card is the company and not the whole trade itself.

Usually they have a serious and simple design perfect for the more formal minded corporate culture. Companies may even issue a uniform design for their employees to use especially if they will be representatives.

by: chineeprint   Category: printing   Keywords: greeting, cards, print, greeting, card, printing

When you care enough to send the very best, your print greeting cards can do it for you. I know. This phrase sounds very much like a Hallmark phrase of all time. Their ad for custom greeting cards in fact has the same phrase to entice target clients to consider their print greeting cards.

 

From birthdays to anniversaries, as well as for every holiday and occasion, Hallmark has it all. When it comes to saying the right verses, Hallmark definitely knows the spot to pique with their quotes and phrases.

So what makes Hallmark the print greeting card leader of all time? I believe it’s in the phrases and words that makes your day very special.

It’s in the words actually. The right words sent to the right person always gets you the right reaction. The positive impact you want is from the words you say in your printing greeting cards. A well crafted and well thought of card is special because the recipient knows you’ve gone to great lengths just to create that very special greeting card. That’s why custom greeting cards are appreciated by everyone.

Here are a few suggestions to help you create those very special custom greeting cards:

1- Consider the person receiving your card.

The demographics of your recipient tell a lot of what kind of greeting card you’re going to create. Is it for the young, male or female, a loved one, a friend, a colleague, etc? Whoever they are, they should be able to relate to the message you have in your card. The message, even if it’s well crafted and it took you ages to write just the right stuff, would be lost to someone who doesn’t get it.

2- Consider the tone of your card.

Is it playful, funny, serious, romantic, platonic, spiritual, or sarcastic? The tone of your card sets the overall appearance. Depending on the message you would want to convey, your tone could convey happy thoughts, sentimental words, and even ‘for adults only’.

3- Consider the occasion.

Greeting cards are great stuff to send for special occasions. It says the very words you would want to say in person for that special day. Based on the reason for a special message, your card can help make your day even more exceptional.

4- Consider your style.

It’s your message and your card. You’re the one creating it. The way you say your thoughts will be reflected in your card.

There are only a few weeks before Valentine’s so why not send the very best with custom greeting cards. Your cards can say it right when done from the heart.

Hockey Cards

by: chineeprint   Category: printing   Keywords: hockey, cards, printed, printing

The first hockey cards were included in cigarette packages from 1910 to 1913. After World War I, only one more cigarette set was issued, during the 1924-25 season by Champ's Cigarettes. NHL player Billy Coutu's biography includes an example of one of the 40 cards issued at that time.

During the 1920s, some hockey cards were printed by food and candy companies, such as Paulin's Candy, Maple Crispette, Crecent, Holland Creameries and La Patrie.

Through to 1941, O-Pee-Chee printed hockey cards, stopping production for World War II. Presumably, the 1941 involvement of the US in the war affected the hockey card market, since Canada had been in the war since 1939.

Hockey cards next appeared during 1951-52, issued by Shirriff Desserts, York Peanut Butter and Post Cereal. Toronto's Parkhurst Products Company began printing cards in 1951, followed by Brooklyn's Topps Chewing Gum in 1954-1955. O-Pee-Chee and Topps did not produce cards in 1955 or 1956, but returned for 1957-58.

Paper model (1)

by: chineeprint   Category: printing   Keywords: printed, magazines, printing

Paper models, also called card models or paper craft, are models constructed mainly from sheets of heavy paper or card stock as a hobby. It may be considered a broad category that contains origami and card modeling, with origami being a paper model made from folding paper (without using glue), and card modeling as the making of scale models from sheets of card on which the parts were printed, usually in full color, for one to cut out, fold, score and glue together. They appear to be generally more popular in Europe and Japan than in the United States.

Printed card models became common in magazines in the early part of the 20th century. The popularity of card modeling boomed during World War II, when paper was one of the few items whose use and production was not heavily regulated. Micro models, designed and published in England from 1941 were very popular with 100 different models, including architecture, ships, and aircraft. But as plastic model kits became more commonly available, interest in paper decreased. The availability of numerous models on the Internet at little or no cost, which can then be downloaded and printed on inexpensive inkjet printers, has caused its popularity again to increase worldwide. Home printing also allows models to be scaled up or down easily (for example, in order to make two models from different authors, in different scales, match each other in size), although the paper weight might need to be adjusted in the same ratio.
