Make an impression. See the interest.
Turn yourself into a holofoil trading card in three styles, with a QR code to your site on the back. Order a printed deck and see when people scan it, long after the handshake.
The business card people actually keep.
Business cards go straight in the drawer. Everyone’s looks the same: a white rectangle, a name, a title that explains nothing about what the person is actually great at, and three ways to reach them that nobody will use. By the end of the night it’s a stack, and nobody remembers which one was you.
Business Trading Cards is a Hova Labs product that turns you into a trading card. Pick a style, add your portrait, write the moves only you could pull off, and try foil and edge finishes until it feels like you. Put a QR link to your portfolio, business, booking page, or latest project on the back. Design and download PNGs for free, or review both sides and order printed cards. Tracked print orders include QR analytics to see scans over time, with a destination you can update after printing.
Visit businesstradingcards.com →Same you. Three ways to play it.
Every style follows the anatomy people already know from the binders of their childhood, and all three share your portrait, name, and link, so switching is one dropdown in the editor. Elemental is the original: a stage badge, HP, one of twelve energy types, and up to three attacks, each with an energy icon, a name, a damage number, and a line of effect text, which is where a job title gets replaced by what you are actually great at. Weakness, resistance, retreat cost, a rarity symbol, and a set number fill the bottom strip, in a full-art or classic framed layout with a silver, gold, or black border.
Arcane is built for lore: a mana cost that colors the frame, a type line such as Legendary Creature — Human Artificer, rules text for your signature ability, italic flavor text for your motto, and power and toughness in the corner. Duelist is the loud one: Monster, Spell, or Trap frames, an attribute, a level in stars, an effect, and ATK and DEF. Flip any of them and the back carries a QR code drawn into the art: arched inside your name, set under a title on a weathered fantasy frame, or worked into the vortex.

The experience starts with your character: choose a style, add a portrait, and write your signature moves. Preview foil and edge finishes, then review the front and back before ordering cards you’ll want to hand out.
The QR code gives every card a next step, from a portfolio or business to a booking page or latest project. For tracked print orders, QR analytics show scans over time, and the destination can change whenever your next chapter starts.
Just experimenting? Design and download PNGs for free. Scan analytics are included with tracked print orders.
Still free in the browser, now with a backend.
The editor is still a browser-first app: every edit is written to localStorage as you type, your portrait is read into the page and stays there, and Download PNG rasterizes the card in the browser, so you can design and export without an account. The product around it is new. Business Trading Cards is a Next.js app on Vercel, with Supabase for accounts, the database, and uploaded files, and Stripe’s hosted checkout for payment, so the app never sees a card number.
Starting an order is the moment the design and portrait leave the browser: they are saved as a purchase draft, the checkout email becomes an account if it didn’t exist, and a sign-in link lands in that inbox instead of a password. Each tracked print order gets its own permanent QR link on businesstradingcards.com that counts the scan and redirects, filtering recognized bots and prefetches from request headers without storing scanner IPs, cookies, or fingerprints. PostHog and the browser side of Sentry only load after you accept analytics, and the servers report errors to Sentry with identifiers rather than emails or addresses.
