In September, South Africa welcomes “Heritage Month”. In this country that takes pride in its multiculturalism, the fluttering six-color national flag and the blooming king protea are telling stories about connection and rebirth in a unique way. The Y-shaped intersection design of the South African flag is like countless hands holding each other in the long river of history. The six colors of red, blue, green, yellow, black and white are interwoven, embracing the richness of the land and the vastness of the sky, and also witnessing the freedom watered by blood. As this flag shows, true power comes from the harmonious coexistence of different elements. The metal surface of the king protea business card box is engraved with this flag in relief technology – everyone who takes it is conveying the courage to break barriers. As the oldest flower species on the African continent, the tenacity of the king protea blooming in the barren rock cracks is just like the spirit of South Africans to create a new life in adversity. When this flower, which symbolizes eternal vitality, is melted into the business card box, it becomes a miniature totem on the professional journey: when the lid opens and closes, it not only shows the adherence to professionalism, but also contains the belief of breaking ground and rebirth. Every business card placed in it is witnessing how individual value grows proudly like the king protea. This Heritage Month, let us carry this metal-made expectation: when hands of different skin colors hold up the king protea business card box together, it is continuing the modern fable of the Rainbow Country – individual struggle and national glory will eventually bloom into a brilliant future in the soil of tolerance.

September is “Erfenismaand” in Suid-Afrika. In hierdie land wat trots is op sy multikulturalisme, vertel die wapperende seskleurige nasionale vlag en die bloeiende koningprotea op ‘n unieke manier ‘n storie oor verbintenis en wedergeboorte. Die Y-vormige kruisingsontwerp van die Suid-Afrikaanse vlag is soos tallose hande wat mekaar deur die lang rivier van die geskiedenis vashou. Die ses kleure rooi, blou, groen, geel, swart en wit is verweef, omhels die rykdom van die land en die uitgestrektheid van die lug, en getuig ook van die vryheid wat met bloed natgemaak is. Soos hierdie vlag demonstreer, kom ware krag van die harmonieuse naasbestaan van verskillende elemente. Die metaaloppervlak van die Protea-besigheidskaartjieboks is met hierdie vlag gegraveer met behulp van reliëftegnologie – almal wat dit neem, dra die moed oor om hindernisse af te breek. As die oudste blomspesie op die Afrika-kontinent, is die vasberadenheid van die koningprotea wat in die dorre rotssplete blom, net soos die gees van Suid-Afrikaners om nuwe lewe te skep te midde van teëspoed. Wanneer hierdie blom, wat ewige vitaliteit simboliseer, in ‘n besigheidskaartjieboks gegiet word, word dit ‘n miniatuur-totem op die professionele reis: wanneer die deksel oop- en toemaak, weerspieël dit beide die nakoming van professionaliteit en die geloof in wedergeboorte. Elke besigheidskaartjie wat daarin geplaas word, getuig van hoe individuele waarde trots groei soos ‘n protea. Laat ons hierdie Erfenismaand hierdie metaalgemaakte verwagting dra: wanneer hande van verskillende velkleure gesamentlik die Protea-besigheidskaartjieboks vashou, sit ons die moderne fabel van die Reënboogland voort – persoonlike stryd en nasionale glorie sal uiteindelik in ‘n blink toekoms in die grond van verdraagsaamheid blom.
