Thanks for all of the information on business cards! Business cards are a great way to present yourself and what you stand for. ZimmZang is now using Green Business Cards which is an organic paper composed from post consumer recycled paper. It's a way of giving back to the planet and doing their part in small ways and promotes the "go green" attitude.

These are good green options. Somewhat similar to the iPhone app, but better is TextID. It allows users to purchase unique text “domains”, such as their names or businesses that allows them to pass along contact information and messages quickly and conveniently. They can give out their ID, lawn care or Angie for example, and the recipient texts that name to 555411. In just a few moments, they will receive a text back to their phones with contact information and the message the TextID member has chosen, which can also include a link to a pdf brochure.

If you have time, take a look at the site. ." target="_blank">www.Textid.com. It is still a relatively new idea, and most people are pretty excited once they catch on. It's easy, it's cheap (around 5.95/month for individual users) and good for the environment!

Very sensible advice, especially considering that we are likely to be underestimating the threat of global warming! If you live in the UK and are looking to print on recycled material, Solopress do recycled business cards among many other recycled products.

This is really useful information, thanks Jason. I'll definitely be trying to go green next time I print business cards! One other useful thing people can do is try to make their business cards easier for programs like Evernote to "read". I've had much more success with high contrast, dark text on light backgrounds. And of course no crazy fonts (which is probably a good idea anyway!)
