The words meat and lasers probably aren't the first to come to mind when you think of getting new business cards, but one company is planning to change that.

Using meat jerky and a high powered laser they have been able to produce a range of business cards which will certainly get you noticed in a meeting.

The team from Pennsylvania take thin slices of meat jerky and then use a 150 WATT CO2 laser to burn you contact details onto the business card-sized slices.

While the card certainly make an impression the also give recipients a great excuse for not making contact with you after a meeting ... "Sorry I never called you back after our meeting ... my dog ate your card"

A spokesperson for meatcards.com said they had themselves been surprised by the quality and legibility of the result which they hope to start selling soon.

Hundreds of people have signed up to be notified when the meatcards are available ... but it is unlikely that organisations like PETA will be placing an order.

Novel, especially if used in the meat industry, but what's to stop people eating it and forgetting to transfer the details to something inedible?
