Just as The Governator tries to pursue green policies, like keeping Tesla’s electric production car local, you’ll now also be able to hand out full-sized “green” business cards with Flickr images, courtesy of the same guys who brought us those cool little mini-cards, Moo.com. They are launching full-sized business cards with a new partner, LinkedIn, which makes sense in the business space, so maybe that be-suited VC won’t snigger at your tiny Moo cards any more. Moo already has partnerships with Facebook, Flickr, Bebo and LiveJournal so that people can turn their image galleries into cards. Their technology means they can put a unique individual image on every card you order - impossible with other printers. So far they’ve sold over 10m cards to more than 180 countries - even to some people in Afghanistan. They recently released an API, and have a cards designer reward scheme in the works. The new classic business cards are sourced from sustainable forests and the ‘Green’ business cards are 100% recycled, 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable. Here’s an interview I shot to with CEO Richard Moross.

great addition but when are they going to open an office in the U.S.? I can’t stand waiting for business cards that are shipped all the way from England and if there is something wrong to send them back.
So hawt. Well done Moo, this was my only issue with them (I hate the smaller cards). Will totally start ordering full-size versions now!
Do you mean “snicker”?
Flying them half way around the world is not green. Ridiculous claim.
people really love this company (I do!) look, they have an, article on TC because of… a new business card format, that’s crazy!
I really like these. I’ve been waiting for them to do a proper business card size. I purchased a set of the mini cards with photos of my brother on them as a gift and they were great quality. The shipping time was slow to San Francisco… I hope they can improve that.
No information on what weight the paper is…unless I missed it.
I don’t know about everyone else, but when I print business cards that’s one of the first things I look at.
Cool

I just ordered the biz size cards using my food photographs and can’t wait to see them. $21.99 is pretty cheap considering that you are getting 50 different images. I like the idea of handing out tiny billboards. The only hiccup I’ve found so far is that the card preview part took a long time to load.
Jeez guys get a freaking tripod already!
Maybe this is because a recent video review they received about the card´s size.
And just when we ditched moo cards… what timing.
I don’t get the “partnership with LinkedIn”: They’re not in the Moo list of “our mutual friends” or of people you can import directly from, so what’s it all about?
Pfffft, the thinner, panoramic-style cards are far superior!
They grab the attention, the little card-holder is easier to fit on a key ring and when you give them to girls they can fit them inside their make-up compact or whatever much more easily than a regular business card.
I cant carry a regular business card holder everywhere I go, but that low-profile card holder fits on my keyring perfectly!
Yes, thank you for publishing this. I’m interested in it, and I’m going to order from Moo now.
