When to use a custom video business card
The custom video business card is the smallest unit FL Solutions makes and the one that travels furthest. A 2.4 inch screen sits inside a printed card that fits in a jacket pocket, and it starts playing your video the moment it is opened. Brands reach for it when the goal is reach rather than ceremony, which usually means trade show handouts, conference welcome bags, direct mail to a named list, recruiting drives, product launches and sales teams who need to leave something behind after every meeting.
It is the format that makes sense when you are sending hundreds or thousands of units rather than dozens. The larger screen sizes carry more weight in a boardroom, but they cost more per unit and they are harder to post. The video business card keeps the surprise of a screen that plays on its own while staying small enough and affordable enough to send at real volume.
Specifications
Each unit carries a 2.4 inch screen with 256 MB of onboard memory, which holds roughly 15 to 20 minutes of video. The battery is rechargeable and every unit ships with a cable for charging and for transferring files. The card body is printed to your artwork on both sides, so the piece works as a business card, a mailer and a video all at once.
One important detail to plan around: your video is loaded before the unit ships and it is fixed after that, because of the way video is encoded on the 2.4 inch screen. If you want the ability to change the video later, say so at checkout and we will build the units differently for an additional $3 to $4 per unit.
Pricing runs from $22 to $42 per unit and moves with quantity. Current bands for every screen size are on the pricing page.
Getting your artwork ready
There are three ways to start, and none of them require you to have a designer on staff. You can use the live online designer by clicking Customize on this page and lay the card out in your browser. You can download our print template and hand it to whoever already does your brand work. Or you can send us your logo, your colours and a rough idea of what you want and we will design it for you.
If you would rather see and hold one before committing to a print run, order a sample pack covering 2.4 inch through 5 inch screens. It is the fastest way to work out whether the smallest screen reads well enough for your video or whether you want to step up a size.
How it compares to the other formats
If your video needs more room than 2.4 inches allows, the next step up is a video brochure, which opens flat like a printed folder and comes in 4.3 inch, 7 inch and 10 inch screens. If the piece is going out with a gift or a product sample underneath the screen, look at video boxes instead. And if the campaign is going straight to a target list rather than being handed out in person, our done for you mailer service handles the print run, packs each unit and ships it on your behalf.
You can see all of these formats in finished campaigns on the case studies page, and the full background on the format sits on the video business cards page.
