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.

Shrink wrapping seals your bulk order in a clear plastic film. It protects the business cards during shipping and storage, while also organizing your items in specific quantities.

“I had some cards printed locally and I was not satisfied at all. As a graphic designer, I did not get what I expected. At UPrinting, not only was the color perfect, but I ordered 250 cards and was sent 500! I will be back...even if they only send 250 :)”

Q:
How do I include the QR code? Is it extra cost?
Asked 15 hours ago by Karen E.
A:

Once you have a saved file of your QR Code, you may actually use the "Create Your Design Online" link to create your business card design and insert the QR code. After you are satisfied with the final design, you just need to save and place the order. Make sure to scan the QR code to see if it works properly.

Q:
Foil lamination — Do you print under the foil or can you print on the foil as well? I have a design with a bar that mimics metallic silver (rectangle) but includes solid black lettering on the top. The rest of the card is full color printing.
Asked a month ago by Jennifer H.
A:

The lamination will come after the printing. Based on your description, please check out our Foil Business Cards. You just need to indicate using another layer on your artwork, whch parts you need to have a foil effect.

Q:
Do your business cards come in separate boxes?
Asked 2 months ago by Jay
A:

There will be no separate box. Depending on the quantity you ordered, these will be packed in a hard cardboard box and any loose space will be packed with fillers to make sure they do not come free and get damaged during shipping.
