Business Card Holders

A business card holder is necessary for convenient work and attracting new clients, for introducing company employees and its leader. Moreover, it protects business cards from harmful environmental effects, keeping all the necessary contacts in one place.

What is a business card holder?

A business card holder is a device for storing business cards, in simple words. In such an accessory, you can place not only business cards but also debit and discount cards.

Types of holders

When choosing a business card holder, pay attention not only to the design but also to the usability:

• The capacity of business cards in the holder can vary (from 50 to 100 cards).
• Business cards can be stored in one compartment or placed on different levels.

Business cards can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or at an angle, which affects the convenience of finding and extracting them.

There are different types of business card holders:

• Desktop holders – designed for storing various cards. They usually have several compartments for various promotional materials. Such holders can be placed on the manager's desk or at the reception so that clients can take a card.
• Flip holders – organizers with multiple sections. They often hold up to 300 cards. They can include an alphabetical index, space for pens, pencils, and stickers.
• Rotating holders – similar to a file, where you can place various addresses and phone numbers. They hold from 300 to 1000 double-sided cards. They usually have alphabetical dividers and additional pockets.
• Glass holders – small boxes for storing branded business cards. They are suitable for a wide range of users and can stand at the reception so that visitors can take a card.

Choosing the size of the holder

The sizes of holders can be standard or non-standard:

• Standard desktop holders usually have dimensions of 93x25 mm and hold up to 50 cards.
• Non-standard, narrower holders can have dimensions of 95x20 mm.

Materials for holders

• Holders can be made from different materials. The price of the item depends on the chosen material. The most affordable option is a plastic holder, which can be purchased at any stationery store.
• PVC – a durable and inexpensive material that is often used. It is resistant to water, acids, and alkalis but does not withstand high temperatures and fire.
• Wood and leather holders – these are more expensive materials. They are often purchased to give the owner status. These holders look stylish and sophisticated but cost more than ordinary models.
• Metal holders – a practical and stylish option. They are often made with unique designs, engravings, or company logos.

In rare cases, you can find holders made of stone, such as malachite, jasper, agate, and serpentine. They look very impressive and add uniqueness. From a practical point of view, however, an electronic business card remains a universal option – it's always at hand, never gets lost, and the information on it is always up to date.
