When you think of a business card, you likely think about a small piece of card stock that is rectangular in shape. The rectangular shape appears on the vast majority of business cards, but you shouldn't shy away from thinking about a different shape when you contact a local print shop to have them design and print some new business cards for you. You might favor a unique shape simply because of its ability to stand out, but there may also be an opportunity to come up with a shape that ties into your line of business.

If you enjoy sending handwritten letters to family and friends, even if it's only around the holidays, it's nice to have some season-appropriate stationery to write on. Instead of buying standard stationery at a local store, it can be fun to order a custom pad that you can use. A company that specializes in custom holiday stationery can print your name on the paper, your mailing address, and a message of greeting.
