Etiquette of Exchanging Business Cards: Part 2
名刺交換のマナー Part 2
When you receive a business card, do not put it in your pocket or a card case, but place it on the table.
受け取った名刺はすぐにしまわずに、テーブルの上に置きます。
Placing it on top of your business card holder is even better.
名刺入れの上に置くと、なお良いです。
If you receive business cards from multiple people, place them in a line and do not stack them on top of each other.
もし複数人から名刺を受け取った場合は、重ねたりせずに並べて置きます。
It is better to place the business card of the person with the most senior position on top of your business card holder.
一番役職の高い人がわかっている場合は、その人の名刺を名刺入れの上に置きます。
After the meeting/discussion is over, put the business cards in your holder.
そして、話し合いが終わったら、名刺を名刺入れにしまいます。
Moreover, there are various detailed etiquette rules, such as “do not give/receive business cards across the table” and “do not cover name or the company logo with your finger when receiving a business card.”
その他にも、「テーブル越しには渡さない」「受け取るときに指が会社のロゴや名前にかからないようにする」など、さまざまな細かいマナーが存在します。
