Business Card made out of old postcards with a laser cutter

thingiverse

For our cooperative [sinndrin genossenschaft](http://www.sinndrin.ch/) we wanted to have some special business cards with some recycled material. So we decided to buy a bunch of old postcards in a second hand store for almost nothing and laser cut two business cards out of one postcard. The business card format is quite bad to layout on A6 Postcards, therefor much material is being wasted. We thought of change the standard format (85 mm x 55 mm) to something smaller or maybe trapezoidal to fit at least three business card per postcard. However we gave up on this. What makes our business card's even more stylish is the fact, that most postcards are written and stamped on the back, so each owner of one of our busniess cards has also a short tale to discover. This made us think about privacy, but the layout of the two business cards is about to hide half the receiving address all the times.
