The Glass Ball Bamboo Business Card Holder is a pure and practical gift to promote an eco-lifestyle. This unique gift is unlike any other card holder. With its natural look and well-polished frame, the bamboo card holder exemplifies nature and gives your desk a rustic appearance, warm grain against a room full of metal and glass.
The detail that sets it apart is the weight. The business card holder includes a glass ball weight to secure cards no matter how many cards are left on the holder, so the stack never fans out, never curls at the corner and never slides off when somebody reaches past it. A visitor takes the top card and the rest stay exactly where you set them. That is the difference between a card tray and a card holder that still looks composed at the end of a long week.
Have it customized to advertise your business everywhere it sits. HansonEllis engraves the bamboo in-house and has been personalizing gifts since 1999, and you have one line of up to 18 characters, which is room for a name, a firm, a practice or a short line of welcome cut straight into the wood. Sitting on a reception desk, it does quiet work all day: the company name reads right side up to the person standing in front of it.
This wood business card holder may also be used as a promotional gift for guests attending a conference, or as a thank you gift for employees attending a corporate event or party. One reviewer described it simply as different and unique, and said it makes a great gift.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give your cards somewhere worth sitting.

Which one should I choose
Card holders are usually chosen on material and on whether they actually keep the stack under control.
| Glass Ball Bamboo Business Card Holder | Choose it when you want natural bamboo on the desk and a glass ball weight that holds the cards down however few are left. |
|---|---|
| A metal or acrylic card holder | Choose it for a hard-edged modern desk; it will not bring the warm grain or the eco-minded look that bamboo does. |
| A loose stack of cards on the desk | Choose it if you do not mind cards curling, fanning and sliding, and if you do not need your name in front of every visitor. |
For a desk piece that promotes an eco-lifestyle and still does its job on a windy reception counter, the glass ball version is the one to pick.
