Helpful overview

Oct 11, 2025 | DR E. | Verified Buyer
It was super helpful to physically see the difference between the business cards as I received mine parallel to that. I specifically saw the difference between all of them, which I wouldn't truly understand from the description online. And it helped me imagine how my own business cards would look and which ones I would want the next time.

Thank You
