Magnetic Business Card Holder

thingiverse

This slim business card holder features a flat back that makes it easy to install a magnetic metal plate. The plate allows for quick attachment of the business card holder to paper sheets like posters. The idea behind this design was born out of a practical problem in academia, where poster presentations are often used. To collect contact information from those who present their research via poster, the business card holder can be physically mounted on the poster. This approach is more convenient than trying to quickly photograph or write down the information displayed on the poster. Post-Printing Mounting the Magnetic Plate Glue a magnetic metal plate to the back of the business card holder. The size of the plate doesn't matter, but make sure it's not too rough, as it might scratch your paper or poster. After attaching the plate, use a strong magnet like neodymium to clip the holder onto the paper or poster.
