When I applied for an internship a few years ago, one of the employees present during the interview told me that, if it weren’t for the Reality™ Institute sticker I put on the last page of my job application, I would have been easily forgettable. Ohio-based CallingCube has taken that sticker idea one step further and created business cards out of 3D-printed cubes.
With the slogan “The premium business card they won’t throw away™”, Calling Cube gives you the chance to create one-inch cubes to be given to your top contacts as a reminder of just how unique you are. You can upload six different images, for instance your logo and contact information for each side of your hollow, plastic box. A set of 20 CallingCubes costs $99, but, if you’re unsure of exactly how this little block will look and feel, you can order a generic, sample cube for $5.00, with free shipping in the U.S. And from now until March 1st, they’re offering a $50 discount for all orders of 80 cubes or more.
If you’re satisfied with your current business card or have already ordered your supply of CallingCubes, you can also check out CallingCube’s sister company, 3D Bakery. 3D Bakery offers prototyping services and a range of other 3D products, including Print My Pix 3D, which allows you to extrude your 2D photograph to make it partially 3D.
