A pop out business card is designed so a printed section can be removed from a magnetic base, leaving part of the piece behind while the contact card is taken away. The layout is built around a perforated centre that separates cleanly, with the outer frame continuing to sit on a metal surface. Size and layout determine how information is split between the two sections, with larger formats allowing more detail across both areas, while smaller versions focus on key contact points. The shape of the removable section also affects how easily it is pushed out and how the final card is handled once separated.
Once placed on a fridge or cabinet, the outer section stays in position and continues to display branding, which changes how the product is used compared to a standard business card. Some layouts repeat core contact details across both sections so information remains accessible after removal, while others treat the pop-out section as the primary reference. This approach works well in situations where contact details need to remain visible over time, rather than being stored away or misplaced.
The design sits across the entire surface, covering both the removable section and the outer magnet frame. Full colour digital print is used so artwork aligns across both areas, maintaining a consistent layout before and after the card is removed.
Things People Ask
How is the removable section separated from the magnet?
The centre is perforated, allowing it to be pushed out by hand without tearing the surrounding frame.
What information should stay on the outer magnet?
Key contact details are often repeated on the outer section so information remains visible after the card is removed.
Where are these usually kept after distribution?
They are placed on fridges and metal surfaces where they remain visible and easy to access.
When would a larger format be preferred?
Larger formats are used when more information needs to be displayed across both sections or when visibility is a priority.
Why is this format used instead of a standard business card?
The remaining magnet keeps branding in place, which allows contact details to stay visible over time.
