How to make a business card?

Creating an effective business card begins with a clear understanding of your industry and the tone your business card should set. If you’re unsure, take a look at what others in your field are using. Gather your branding strategy, including color scheme and logo, and browse our catalog of business card templates to find the one that fits best. Our easy-to-use design editor employs simple, familiar tools and features to help our customers create unique and professional finished projects that reflect their vision. Easily insert a variety of shapes and icons and swap out the template’s color palette with your brand’s own CMYK color scheme using our “replace this color” feature (or use our color picker to create your own). You can also upload your own logo and photos or insert any of our stock images with just a few clicks, and our real time dpi image resolution scores help you get the highest quality out of your logo and images. Choose from a large selection of available fonts and take advantage of our recommended font sizing to ensure that your text is always easy to read.

Have confidence in your printed end result as you view our presentation preview of your project every step of the way. Before printing, proofread thoroughly, then click the “Print/Download” button to place your order with us or download a high-quality PDF that you can print anywhere you like.

What to put on a business card?

Your business card lets the holder know who you are, what you do, and how to get in touch with you. For it to be effective, you should include your name and job title, as well as the name and logo of your company/organization. Your contact information is also a must. Include the way(s) to best reach you, whether that’s your phone number(s), email address, and/or mailing or physical address. Featuring your website can speak volumes without having to put every detail on your business card. If you utilize a short and sweet catchphrase or description of your business, that can be a smart inclusion. The magic of a great business card is finding the perfect balance between too much information and not enough. Find the style that works for you and include just what you need to get your details across to customers, colleagues, and potential clients.

What size font for business card?

MyCreativeShop’s online editor includes a recommended font size feature when working with text boxes. Headings, subheadings, and paragraphs are all automatically set at a readable and appropriate font size for your template. You have complete control to edit any font size to meet your needs, but we recommend not going below 8pt on a business card (usually for contact details) and maxing out at 11 or 12pt (for your name). 

What to put on the back of a business card?

The back of your business card can always be left blank or you can use it to feature something that will impact the reader. Options may include your company’s name and/or logo, your own extra-large monogram, website address, social media handles, map to your office, or a short and sweet catchphrase or slogan. You may also think about adding value with a QR code or link to a special offer or discount.
