Sandwich Business Cards
I crafted the original set of business cards to give the client an idea of how the product range might look, without having to create the whole thing. I used this light pink stock which was matched up from the chosen colour palette. I always had in mind that I would used a coloured stock which would also save on printed costs ( a one colour print job).
To create the sandwich business cards, I had to use four layers of card stock to create a really thick finished card. After speaking with the client, she wanted the cards to feel expensive and durable enough to be passed around. The thickness is something that was a necessity.
I used the front and back as the two pink sides and glued both of these down to another piece of black card stock. I then glued these together back to back and placed in a press for a hour until the glue was completely solid. I trimmed them down ever so slightly with a sharp scalpel to get perfect edges. This revealed the pink cards with the black sandwich line inside.

These are some photos that I got of this technique. I will push these further by testing some foiling techniques, before using a quality print on the final ones and assembling.
