I think calling cards are a great idea. How many people have blogs / facebook accounts / twitter names / etc. They say that print is dead, but I believe that social media is only making it have a resurgence! On a personal note, a calling card beats the heck out of a bar napkin anyday!

Those are some of the top companies helping people get the professional look they need. What about wellsdrew.com I didn't see them listed there, and think they are the best when it comes to styles such as engraving. Thanks! Hey great list there.

Now that I do, I can't keep enough of 'em. They're great for professional AND personal needs.

I used a modified business card template on my computer's program "Pages" and printed it on heavy paper. I glued the full sheet of paper to another identical (albeit blank) sheet, pressed it while it dried, then used a straightedge and an exacto-knife to cut them (almost perfectly) square. Done. (Showed them to a buddy, and he thought I had sent away for professionally made business cards.) The whole thing costs two sheets of heavy paper and some glue, giving me 10 calling cards.

A group of friends and I would like to start making calling cards, and we are wondering what kind of machinery (if any) you need. There seems to be little information about the actual process on the internet, unfortunately. Does anybody know anything about the engraving process?
