Print-in-place Business Card Holder/Stand

This gadget securely holds your business cards without hiding the graphics you've worked hard to develop! The print-in-place mechanism locks the holder in the closed position. The holder is opened by pulling the two halves apart and swinging the upper half backwards to act as a stand, proudly displaying your card during events or as a permanent desk feature!
