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.

Q:
Do your business cards come in separate boxes?
Asked 7 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.

Yes, we have a free Offset Sample kit. This contains the materials we use for the Business Cards and the content is printed using our own offset and digital presses. All you need to do is create an account and type in the address where we need to ship to.

Q:
Can you make changes to an old card?
Asked 8 months ago by Barb M.
A:

Ideally, if you have the PDF file for this we can make minor changes for free. However, if you need for us to start from scratch, you would need to obtain the services of our Design Team.  For either option, you will need to create an account online to get your file checked and/or get a quote for our Design service.  As soon as you create an account, please give us a call.
