What Are the Best Business Card Design Practices

Several guidelines need to be followed as you create your own custom business cards. You can hire a professional designer to make sure all the basic rules are covered. However, an ambitious entrepreneur shouldn’t be afraid to think out of the box.

Here are a few rules you can follow as you think about what to put on a business card.

  • Short, sweet, and simple. A card provides limited space to make a good and lasting impression. Only show the most important contact information and make the text readable. Your logo should stand out but not take up all the space.
  • Keep your clients in mind. While a standard business card is easy to give out and receive, the design itself should showcase what you can do. Create a look that appeals to your customers.
  • Take calculated risks. Whether you’re an industry veteran or a start up success, your company can’t risk fading into the background. Add an extra feature such as an embossed text or pick your own custom shape.

A:

The business card design should be placed within three lines that guide how the material is cut. Our available layout templates already include these lines. But those who want to start from scratch need to create a design within the following standard guidelines:

  • Safety Line is placed around the actual business card design, particularly your logo, contact information, etc.
  • Trim Area is the area between the bleed line and safety line. This provides additional room for cutting the business card.
  • Bleed Line refers to the edge of your business card file. The background of your design should go all the way up to this area to prevent the appearance of a white border.

Q:
I have a two sided card that I have been using. I would like to keep the same design. It has a small QR code on one side that is important to keep. Thank you
Asked a month ago by Beth F.
A:

If you have the same design kept in a PDF format, you may upload this and we can print as is. 

If you are designing from scratch, we would encourage you to use the Design Tool option by following the attached steps: 

  1. Select the 2" x 3.5"' option (which is the standard sized business card but you may choose your original size) on the Product Page for the Standard Business Card.
  2. Fill out all the other specifications like Paper Type, Quantity and Printing Time.
  3. After this, click on "Create Your Design Online" located underneath the specification area and it will give you a canvass of the exact size of the business card you selected.
  4. Click on the "ABC" Icon and a text box will appear where you can type in the wording you need.There are icons there you may click on that will automatically center the text or align it in the way you need it. You may even drag the entire sentence to the area you need it to be.The menu also allows you to choose the font type, size and color of your text. You may also choose the color of the background or if you want it to remain white.
  5. You may insert a logo from your PC or the QR code you mentioned. (Please test the QR Code on your screen to see if it works).
  6. Once you are happy with the design, save and the system will ask you to create an account . Your artwork will appear in My Saved Designs tab.
  7. Check out and place the order. 

If you have any difficulties in navigating the Design Tool, our Customer Support Representatives will be able to help you set up your design. Our lines are open 24 hours a days during weekdays and during office hours on weekends.

 

Q:
Is it possible to get each card made with different information on them but keep the back image the same for each card?
Asked 2 months ago by Matthew D.
A:

We can do that, however these will count as separate designs even if they have similar front or back sides. Our pricing model is based on  one design per quantity as each unique design will have its own set up cost. We only get lower price efficiency if the design is exactly the same on the front and back. This means we cannot offer the price for say 2,000 cards when there is actually more than one design for the front and they all have identical back sides.  

Q:
Can I get UV gloss on both sides
Asked 3 months ago by Regina M.
A:

Yes. Please select 14 Pt Cardstock High Gloss (UV) under Paper Type. Please note that this wold not be easy to write on because of the High Gloss Coating.
