Comments on: Check out my fancy new "business" card holder (and cards!) http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/05/check-out-my-fancy-new-business-card/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Fri, 17 May 2013 22:46:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: Fake Plastic Fish http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/05/check-out-my-fancy-new-business-card/comment-page-1/#comment-6304 Fake Plastic Fish Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:25:38 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2008/05/check-out-my-fancy-new-business-card-holder-and-cards/#comment-6304 I guess the instructions are gone from that site. But it's just a cassette case. You don't need any instructions.

I like blue color you used with white combination. The business card is very important marketing tool to uplift the business. It memorize you and your company whenever the anybody take a glance at it.

I was just wondering why my favorite pizza place was so busy!

As for cassette boxes, if you live in the bay area, the East Bay Depot for creative reuse always has them, as well as tons of other items waiting to be re-purposed.

Michelle, it was great to meet you. So, when you came to Bobby G’s, you didn’t know it was Green Drinks night?

Terrible Person, I see old cassettes at yard sales and even just left in boxes out on the street all the time. People have a hard time giving them away. I don’t think there’s any shortage of cassette cases.

Christy B, I just Google “recycle business cards” and found this article about things to do with old business cards: http://resourcesforwriters.suite101.com/article.cfm/business_card_recycling

You can create what another librarian I know calls a “hipster PDA” (or you can Google the term), which is basically a bunch of index cards, or business cards, held together with a binder clip. You can write notes on the cards, then rearrange them in order of priority. She has games on hers (sudokus clipped from the newspaper pasted onto cards.) Best of all, if she drops her PDA, it doesn’t break! She doesn’t have to worry about a new model coming out and making hers obsolete so she has to figure out how to recycle it.

And you can always still use them as business cards; just cross off the irrelevant information on the front and scribble in some new on the back. (Or print out stickers.) Unless, of course, the memories are too painful or you really don’t want anyone to know where you worked before.

One problem with using cassette cases: where do you get cassettes anymore? Who uses them? (I guess you can get plenty of old ones, that people are throwing out, at thrift stores.)

Are cassettes and their cases recyclable?

I mean, *I* still use them — in fact, until pretty recently I would tape MP3s off my computer onto them, to take to the gym — but I’m a steampunk. Anyway, I wonder if some of the younger readers of this blog even know what a tape cassette is!

Remember when we made each other mix tapes?

It was so nice to meet you yesterday. I had no idea about green drinks, but it’s all making sense now.

Anyway, I hope I wasn’t too creepy introducing myself out of the blue like that, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks!
