Over the years we’ve had many questions on formats and admittedly they can be confusing. It seems companies would continue to pump out the latest and greatest so keeping up is difficult.

Enjoy.
The Hippie Chunk: 3 Layers of Printed Goodness
After a few minutes of brainstorming with our friends over at Wonder Press we settled on what Cy (Paper Genius) refers to as the “Hippie Chunk.” The “Hippie Chunk” is 3 layers of fine paper all glued together. The middle layer is a subtle accent yellow.
The result is a serious business card suitable for conveying contact information or for use as an impromptu weapon should you need it. We love them. Of course, we needed an equally as serious holder so we had these custom concrete card holders made up too.

Washington Bound: A Gathering For Common Good
We’re honored to be a part of the Q Ideas annual event held this year in Washington D.C.
