Creative PCB Business Cards are Sure to Make an Impression
1 min read
Summary
Engineer Jeremy Cook has designed business cards made of PCB that also function as tools, in a bid to make them more memorable to recipients, and wrote up his experiences for anyone else to try.
His designs include an LED version with a coin cell battery holder for lighting up the card, and another incorporating a ruler, circular stencil and simplified protractor for drafting.
Having learned that solder mask colour options have expanded beyond the standard green, he experimented with finishes from different manufacturers to enhance the artwork on his cards.
Cook emphasises the importance of researching fabricators to learn the limitations and options for custom PCB designs, and suggests Hackaday’s 2024 Business Card Challenge winners for further inspiration.
