Planetary Gear Business Card - Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog

A very interesting business card design which has paper gears. For sure it is unique and interesting however I think this might be way to expensive to produce because you have to put it together. But for a small ammount it is doable. A very interesting design and I will see too if I can produce something useful with those paper gears.

This is awesome! It's killing me not being able to play with it. I agree that it would be too expensive to use on a bulk project BUT it could work for another project that would have a smaller number made. So cool. I would rethink how you could apply it to another project. Too great to pass up.

It's amazing to see that peoples' creativity has no limits. These gears in a business card made me wow, I need this card, hehe

eienblue25 · 05-18-2009, 08:57 PM

wow, it's really cool

krkw72 · 05-19-2009, 12:28 AM

That is a pretty cool little project...but, egad! my eyeballs are burning just thinking of cutting out all those notches with an x-acto knife!

Fineartist · 05-20-2009, 04:11 PM

i think its really cool. but i would have to agree with everyone, cost wise, its not very practical.

lamdizain · 02-04-2010, 04:18 AM

that is awesome work. I just got a new idea after seeing this. Thanks

That's awesome. Reminds me of a business card I received from one of our suppliers a few years ago. They produce parts out of sheetmetal and had their own laser cutter. So, this guys business card was made out of thin sheetmetal and had the company logo and contact information cut out. For safety's sake, the edges were dulled, so that it wouldn't cut anybody.

Devilishboy · 03-14-2010, 04:38 AM

wow! that is the real creativity

DixielandDesign · 03-14-2010, 08:33 AM

Awesome Card, may be expensive and time consuming but in these days of unemployment that is definitely a great way for someone to remember your interview. I bet you could get the parts made for just a few dollars by a die cutter and while you're waiting for a job to call you could put them together... A long career is worth a few bucks invested.

I think this one is funny, no one will forget their faces haha

meadec · 03-30-2010, 08:03 PM

I love this card..Yes I'm sure its would be very costly for production but its great as far as creativity. I'm sure there's some business owner out there who would be willing to pay just to be set apart from competitors. Its such a unique idea and it would be sure to make a lasting impact on anyone who encountered it. Great job!

I'm really liking this. I can't really read the text on it but it would seem ideal for an artist or computer engineer or a career along those lines. Its a really fun card with the pop up picture, rounder edges, and they almost look like cards to a board game. I really like this. Thanks for sharing.

Rockula · 03-31-2010, 01:44 PM

wow o.o Amazing business card xD
i wonder how many they made xD

kasius · 04-07-2010, 01:58 AM

The card is great but i like simple things!!

kasius · 04-08-2010, 07:42 AM

The card is great but there is no need of those gears and ... the card needs to be simple and with 2 or 3 colours....

patrakliski · 04-08-2010, 08:17 AM

cool idea ... maybe problem to make it more than 1000 ... i have a lot designs for corporate identies and my clients order is not under 500 ... i adore the idea and concept of this business card

Lechlak · 04-16-2010, 01:28 AM

Wow - I just designed a few business cards for a client and now I feel like a chump. Those are something special.

caprice · 04-17-2010, 09:24 PM
