Ancient Origins: Caveman Networking
Before LinkedIn and handshake emojis, there were rocks. Cavemen didn’t just grunt and wave — they handed out chiselled slabs of stone to promote their mammoth hunting services or fire-starting tutorials. Sure, it was cumbersome, and the turnaround time for engraving was slower than molasses in January, but it was the first version of "full-colour printing" — if you’re willing to count different shades of grey as colours. Imagine our modern linen stock or hot foil stamping blowing their prehistoric minds.
Medieval Business Cards: The Art of Avoiding War
Fast-forward to medieval times, where knights and merchants relied on elaborately crafted cards to avoid messy misunderstandings. A well-designed card with raised ink might read: "Sir Arthur of Camelot, Expert Dragon Tamer and Moat Maintenance Specialist." It wasn’t uncommon for a business card exchange to prevent a skirmish or broker a truce. You could say these were the original fold-over cards — practical and dignified, with space to jot down one’s coat of arms.
The Intergalactic Traveller's Best Friend
Now imagine this: the year is 3025, and an intergalactic trade summit is in full swing. A Martian delegate accidentally heads to the wrong quadrant. But wait! They’re saved by a perfectly crafted Earthling business card — semi-gloss, rounded corners, planetary coordinates printed in hot foil stamping. The delegate sighs with relief, muttering in gratitude, "Ah, Earthlings and their impeccable finishes." Whether it’s linen stock or raised ink, a solid business card will ensure you’re remembered from one galaxy to the next.
