white 100-lb card stock
On a sidenote, there are legitimate issues with some colors of business cards...I speak from personal experience. I thought it would be soooooo coooool to have an all black personal business card. I was oh-so-very-wrong. It is nearly impossible to write anything on a black card, not only to add more info (like another phone number) to give to the other person, but also for that other person to jot down things. I know I often like to write about who gave me the card to help me remember later on - twitter/irc names if it's not on their card, where I met them and when, and so on...black doesn't work so well for that. And I almost never write on my own card, so I never really thought about it.
Reordering business cards soon, and I'm definitely skipping the all black this time around.
- steverb 16y agoI like mine black on front, white on back. That way there is a surface you can write stuff on.
- silencio 16y agoAs long as it's not all black, half colors/mixed colors should be fine for most uses, no? Mine had a small stripe of a different color on the front that most people used to write anything on, but was otherwise black. Bad idea :)
- derefr 16y agoAlternatively: square, thin, two-sided card stock: glossy black front, matte/unfinished white back. Fold them in half, and they become regular, all-black cards which have an "inside" for writing.
