Flashlight Business Card

Step 6 Changes

If you are making a few of these, you can ditch the double sided tape and use foam sheeting, attached with self adhesive spray. By using one of the blank cards as a template and cutting out around the outside, you can get a neater edge on the finished design. You can then just cut holes for the battery, and LED, making sure there is a vertical cut halfway down the card for the top copper strip to poke through. You might also want to fix the LED a bit more securely so that it doesn't get knocked around in use. A blob of 5 minute epoxy does this job well, and is transparent as well.

If I produced these on mass, I would probably change a couple of things. Firstly I would change the CR2032 cell to a CR2016 as this is thinner, and also design a custom self-adhesive foam cut-out for the LED and battery to replace the double sided tape. Getting the cards printed professionally would then allow the cards to be assembled in seconds each, rather than minutes. If anyone is interested in getting commercial versions of this card or another design produced for corporate use in quantity, I can be contacted at [e-mail].
