Abstract: A business card case includes a shallow front lip for retaining the bottom edge of a stack of business cards and a hinge-mounted plate which is operative for lifting the top edge of a stack of business cards upwardly when the cover is opened so that the top card may be easily removed. The plate includes a flange portion which extends rearwardly from the back of the card case and a tongue portion which extends interiorly of said case. The cover includes a rear wall which extends downwardly to engage the flange when the cover is opened. Accordingly, when the cover is opened, the flange portion is pivoted downwardly and the tongue portion is pivoted upwardly to lift the top edge of the stack of business cards upwardly.
