Business Cards

A custom business card in your pocket is an opportunity to market yourself. It’s a powerful networking tool that helps you connect with the right people. 

With a firm handshake and a warm greeting, business cards can help you bridge the gap between your business and prospective customers.

Building Trust With a Business Card

A printed business card is tactile, allowing people to feel its texture and, by extension, the personality behind the card. 

A buyer is more likely to purchase from someone they find trustworthy, and a business card can help you win confidence.

As the first introduction to a potential customer, your business card should send the right message to your prospects. The logo, information, and colors that you use are subliminal cues that evoke trustworthiness or lack thereof. 

Communicate reliability with business card printing. With your logo prominently displayed in front (or back, as in some business cards), your customers are more likely to purchase from you or recommend your business to someone they know.

Playful, Friendly, but Always Professional

Business cards don’t need to conform to the traditional shape or size.

Depending on the nature of your business, unconventional shapes and sizes can be beneficial as they tend to reveal more about your brand personality.

Want to take a break from the conventional rectangle? Here are some business card shapes that you can use:

• Rounded corner 
• Slim
• Square rounded-corner 
• Folded
• Leaf 
• Slim rounded corner
• Circle
• Half-circle
• Oval

3 Ways to Design Your Business Cards

The first impression is the last impression. Whether you consider that to be true or not, it’s important to always have your best foot forward in business.

A well-designed custom business card gives the impression that you are an expert in your field. But you don’t need to have design chops to create business cards that command attention.  

Here are three easy ways to do it:

1. Upload your own artwork.
   Do this when: You already have your own design for your business card. Your print-ready file will go through a 30-point automated and human review to see if it meets technical quality.
2. Use one of our business card print templates.
   Do this when: You need a professional design but can’t create one from scratch. Our professional templates are set up with proper bleeds and margins, so your business cards turn out accurately.
3. Design your business cards online.
   Do this when: You are looking for a professional design but don’t want to outsource it to a designer. You can use your own images or choose from over 90 million images on the design tool. Check out our blog post about business card designs

A standard business card measures 3.5” x 2”, but it’s also available in custom sizes. Our slim business cards are 3.5” x 1.75”. It has the same length as the standard business card but is slimmer.

What is the difference between white plastic, frosted plastic, and clear plastic business cards?
White plastic comes in a solid color. The white areas in your artwork will come out as white and not transparent.

With clear plastic, the white areas in your file will be transparent. For best readability, use 8 pt. fonts and larger.
