Business Cards
Business cards, also known as calling cards or visiting cards, have a rich and varied history that spans centuries and crosses cultural boundaries. They have long been a fixture in professional and social introductions, providing a concise and convenient method of sharing contact information and affiliations.
Origins and Evolution
The earliest known precursors to the modern business card were used in 15th-century China, where they were known as 'visiting cards.' These were used to announce a person's intention to visit another in society. In the 19th century, with the advent of the industrial revolution and the rise of businesses and corporations, these cards began to take a more professional form, transforming into what we now recognize as business cards. They became a standard tool in the business world, used to share contact details, job titles, and affiliations.
