A die-cut business card has been made from die-cutting technology which involves cutting specific shapes with a blade. The razor-sharp cutting blade called a "die," cuts cards into a variety of appealing shapes such as oval, rounded corners, leaf shape, house-shaped and so much more. The shape is determined by the user and the relevance of his/her business.

It all depends on your imagination too as you can come up with any shape that you want and have your business cards die cut to that exact shape.

Here are examples of die-cut business cards you can consider:
