Check out Thiniverse for the templates you need to make the caliper card. You may also want to check out the Cardapult and the Planetary Gear business cards for other inspirational ideas. [Thingiverse via Make]

@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: If it's good enough, they will come back for more, n'est-ce pas?

@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: Make an outer rim of perforated squares, but leave a large rectangle in the middle with the contact info that they won't use. You may want to make the card large so that when you tear off the squares, the remaining card is business card sized.

@Jakooboo the Great!: it's not for engineers... it's for people who work in porn

What if you make business cards? You couldn't make anything very exciting then...
@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: a dissolvable spice-embedded paper, printed with non-toxic ink, with serving size markings/perforations

I like the meat card better. This is just boring and not very useful.

Laser etched, card sized waffles?
@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: Hand out Muffins. I'll steal me some muffins.

Make a card that turns into a fork!

@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: Brainstorm. It's a cost vs. quantity thing. You could create something very creative, complex and foldable but ask yourself if it's something you really need.
Anyway, I recommend getting inspired by the underconsideration.com blogs, look under FPO for some shining examples of great print.
@Intelext: I'll take a crack at it. "Doo doo do doo da doo! BUSINESS!!!!!"
Cash only, please.
@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: A business card that turns into a pie!
As a part time caterer I am trying to think of a memorable business card that people will talk about and attempt to steal...
Any suggestions?

What? No vernier scale? Could probably make a cutout and add one. Not that it would be calibrated...
That's really neat. Until the edges fray, and those stupid enough to use it for nuclear engineering die in a fiery ball of death due to Adrian Likins' plot (which appears to be quite cunning) to take over the world.
Now all i need is a catchy slogan.

Adrian just got a buttload of free advertising with this one!!
Magic Beans? Sure, I'll Buy Some!!
@bill cant fart: Genius...pure genius. Where DO you get your inspiration?
@Cordfucious of Tech Clan: Make it out of cheese or ham? That'll get their attention!
@HeadConnect: yes sir it is so. Seeing that I work and live in Houston, recruiting new clientele is a must.

@Bigbadbikernerd: Really, what is inspiration but stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity?
