Business Card Cases - I'd appreciate anyone's input
I'm about to place a large order for business card cases and there are
three general types I'm trying to decide between. If you have seen my compact kits, I had them specially made for me with a recess on the top to hold a piece of clay (http://www.polymerclayprojects.com/compacts.htm). I was going to do the same with the card cases - have a rectangular recess over most of the top. The vendor felt that the recess might not work in the card case because it was very thin to start with and so they made a very thin metallic rectangular border, about 1/4" from the edge, all they way around. So its not a recess - its just an area with a border to lay the clay into on the top. This would be option #1, in a very heavy duty, shiny silver case (polished nickel). The next option would be just to have the same heavy case, but without the border. You'd just put clay wherever you want. The final option is to order lighter, aluminum cases. These are not so heavy and not at all shiny - more of a dull silver/grey type finish I would only get these if people think they'd cover most of the cases. The quality is good, but they aren't as heavy duty as the one I mentioned above. So what do folks prefer? Do people cover the entire case, top and bottom, or just an area in the top. Is the border a waste of effort tomake that way? Any comments are appreciated. Larry Boston ClayWorks http://www.PolymerClayProjects.com |

Well, I don't cover stuff with clay, but FWIW, in my opinion a business card case gets bashed around a lot in someone's bag, briefcase, or pocket. Therefore, a metal rim around the polymer is likely to make it sturdier and less likely to chip. And if you make things to sell or give as gifts, the better quality ones seem more suitable to use for the amount of work involved with the claywork, don't you think? Just a thought! Sherry Bailey |
