This executive business card case is one of the most stylish and impressive ways to carry about your promotional materials. The business card is sort of like a salesperson, representing the face of your company. If you keep them stored in a sweaty cluttered pocket or stuffed into the side of a wallet, you might not be showing the image that you want your company to project. This attractive casing allows you to evoke a sense of precision and care that will translate into trust in your customer's eyes.
This case is crafted from rich black leatherette which is contrasted by a bright white cross stitch. The entire piece is simple, yet elegant, with a silver clasp plate adorning the front surface of the container. The cover is hinged, so it lifts and closes over the cards rather than sliding apart in a pocket. Small enough to fit in just about any pocket, this casing will protect your business cards from dents, scratches, and curled corners, while also showing that you take your business seriously.
You also have the option to have this case personalized, with engraved writing available on the surface of the clasp plate. That silver plate is small on purpose: it takes up to four characters on a single line, which is exactly the space a monogram wants. Engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, and four characters on a polished plate reads as deliberate rather than decorative.
Another option is to give this business card case away as a gift to an executive businessman or businesswoman in your life: someone graduating from business school or law school, or someone who just got their first corporate position. Having their initials engraved on the casing makes it a gift they will treasure instantly.
One customer found a second life for it entirely. He calls it a great product, and says that although he knows it is meant for business cards, he uses it for all of his credit cards, which fit perfectly along with his driver's license. At 2-1/2" by 4", that is a slim flip-top wallet for anyone done with a bulging billfold.
Add your initials above, choose your quantity, and send it out looking like it was always theirs.

Which one should I choose
The choice here is mostly about how the case opens and how much wording the front will take.
| Black Flip Top Hinged Cover Business Card Case | Choose it when you want a hinged cover that closes over the cards, white contrast stitching, and initials or a monogram on the silver clasp plate. |
|---|---|
| A metal business card case with a large engraving area | Choose that when the front has to carry a full name, a title and a company rather than four characters. |
| Keeping cards loose in a wallet or pocket | Choose that only if bent corners and creased cards do not matter; the case exists precisely to stop dents, scratches and curled corners. |
For a personal gift that gets carried every working day, the hinged leatherette case with initials wins; pick a larger engraving area only when a full name and title must appear on the front.

Questions shoppers ask about the Black Flip Top Hinged Cover Business Card Case
How big is the Black Flip Top Hinged Cover Business Card Case?
It measures 2-1/2"W x 4"H, which is small enough to fit in just about any pocket. It opens vertically, with a hinged cover that lifts rather than sliding apart.
What is it made of?
Rich black leatherette contrasted by a bright white cross stitch, with a silver clasp plate on the front surface. The piece is simple and elegant rather than ornate.
Where exactly is the engraving done?
On the surface of the silver clasp plate on the front of the case. The leatherette body is not engraved, so the personalization sits on the polished plate a customer sees first.
How many characters can I engrave?
Up to 4 characters on a single line. That is a set of initials, a monogram, a short designation such as ESQ or a four-digit year, rather than a full name or a phrase.
Can I put a full name or a company name on it?
The clasp plate holds 4 characters on one line, so a full name will not fit. Most buyers use initials or a monogram; for a company, the initials of the company name are the usual answer.
Can it hold anything besides business cards?
One customer wrote that although it is meant for business cards, he uses it for all of his credit cards, which fit perfectly along with his driver's license.
Can each case in a set carry different initials?
Yes. Order the full quantity you need, then email the list of initials to [email protected] after ordering, which is how most groomsmen and office orders are handled.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one case as a single gift or a case for every groomsman. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
Can our company logo be engraved on the plate?
Logos are a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be engraved at clasp plate size.
Can I see a proof before the case is engraved?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check the initials carefully first. Ask in the order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
How long does an engraved business card case take?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US, with rush at 3 to 5 days and expedite at 1 to 3 days. For a wedding party, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Can I return it, and do you ship internationally?
Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective; non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days. International shipping is by request, the cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected].
