Techtomic Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Got a few hundred business cards from previous jobs, is it worth keeping them or stick them in the blue recycling box? I'm thinking they'd do for writing notes on the back or something. Has anyone else done anything with theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez2 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It depends how creative you are and how much time you have. You could always stick two together and use them as luggage tags. Most airlines use e tickets not so don't issue luggage tags. Are you a craft person? Have you hear of altered art? Use them to make gift tags or part of a collage / altered art project. If not, just recycle them. I'm sure there are suggestions on the 'net if you Google the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else done anything with theirs? have a look on ebay. i'm sure there are business card collectors in the world. just like matchboxes, phonecards, beermats etc,.

SportsTrophy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Send them to a designer or printer to use as samples/swatches. Using the plain backs, daily to-do cards and throw when completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESPAtHome Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 These guys will probably take them http://www.osn.org.uk/ they take all kinds of stuff that can be used creatively by kids. It's a great project. Give them a bell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I keep one of mine as a little reminder of the job... but I just stick the rest in the recycling. The little plastic boxes they come in are useful though for storing screws and small "bits and bobs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anywebsite Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 You could do spy practice, pick a random card, make up a cover story & introduce yourself to people with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
