Business wooden :
tradition + innovation = originality simply Pinkograf recently become "Pinkograf by Pinkard is constantly looking for new ideas for business cards original and unique.
I
cards were, are and will be for quite a very important tool for the municipality in the marketing and image. Then we who are the forerunners in Italy in PVC business cards, we get to be a global company that can offer the largest production of business cards of all kinds, offered up as much material as possible there will be .
In this post, however, will devote ourselves to wood.
Wood is a living material, expressive, tactile, and as for catching the eye or the "eye-catching" definitely are winners. It 's also true that we can not and should not generalize. As always
support, the business card should not be impersonal, common, but must emerge among the many meaningless business cards that people can be found in your hands in your pockets, and desks. Or worse, in drawers.
is then that the wood business cards are not for everyone, not for all activities.
E 'relevant before making a product that can be tacky for certain activities, but original for other activities, assess if the wood goes well with the message to give and with the activity to be submitted.
We, who for many years, we study the business card in all its versatility, we are the first to say to pay maximum attention from the embryonic idea of \u200b\u200bthe ticket.
Rather, before you start dancing, it is better to take time to pan the web, which offers an amazing amount of ideas and suggestions.
fact, there are many collections of business cards where you can take interesting ideas.
Back to business cards made of wood, and sorry for the rambling. But as I write I can think of lots of advice to give you, and I must write on the fly!
The wood we used for these prototypes are currently 3: beech wood, wood balsa (a very light wood, used for modeling. Do you think that is as light as polystyrene) and a laminated wood.
We have created with laser technology, so we tried to engrave, to cut, to pierce. The results are satisfactory. Each timber requires a different process, giving different results with regard to color and intensity of the incision.
be emphasized that the choice of graphics and fonts, or need a very good knowledge about this type of material and etching, or should be changed to a graphics expert who can anticipate the effect would be achieved.
Sometimes some customers send us their file asking for a graphics card that must be "So and so" files that are normally conceived to a realization on paper, and we are forced to suggest some changes because changing the print media also change the results. To achieve this, it takes months and months of rehearsals for the prototypes, and months and months of rehearsals for the production. Whenever there is a new application for us is a new challenge. In fact, the harder it is the single most fun is to study, design and build!
Here are some examples of business cards in wooden

There is really brilliant, but a second
of wood used can vary in intensity , revealing the veins more or less accentuated the wood.
In our prototype, for example, the balsa wood were full and bright. On
beech far more delicate and diluted between the veins. Ditto with regard to the laminated wood.
Experience is a great satisfaction : you know and be able to advise clients to avoid unpleasant mistakes. It 'not to be able to spend their money to others.
Experience pays off: who is the pantry and those who use both!
Pinkograf And we, we are delighted to have invested in real values \u200b\u200bas experience, quality, competence and courtesy!
