Business Card Design

Your business card design says a lot about you.

Before you start the design process, think about the impression you want to create. Sleek and professional? Reliable and trustworthy? Fun and relaxed? Witty and humorous? This should drive not only your selection of colours, fonts and images, but also the shape and size for your business card and the stock and finishes used.

There are a range of design elements to consider when creating your busines card:

  • Colours: ensure these are consistent with your brand guidelines, and reflect your desired business image.
  • Size and shape: you can opt for the classic business card size and format (90 x 55mm, landscape), or go for something different, like a slimline or square business card.
  • Card Stock: generally speaking, the heavier the card stock, the higher the quality image portrayed by your business card.
  • Matte, Silk or Gloss finish: your choice of finish will reflect your brand and business image.
  • Specialty finishes: there are whole range of speciality finishes that can be used on your business cards. Your local Snap Centre will be able to advise on what is available.

Business Card FAQ's

No.  Reserve your business card for your most basic contact information.  It's fine to put a tagline or short sentence about what services or products you provide.  If you feel strongly that this may be your only opportunity to contact your customer, put product information on the back of the business card.
Yes.  This is especially true if you have colour in your logo or want to include your picture on the card.  The difference between colour or black and white is often only a few dollars.  If you are on an extremely restrictive budget, use different shades of grey to highlight different parts of your business card.
No.  Graphics and images will make your card more appealing to the eye.  But beyond a logo or background image, graphics and images can clutter the card.  Remember, the point is that your customer remembers your information, not how nice of a picture you have.
Yes.  Your logo is at the core of your brand.  You should expose customers to it as often as possible.  If your company has a well recognised logo, it becomes important to associate your name with your company's logo to build trust.

The bottom line: somewhere in between bare bones and overboard is the most effective approach to business card design. Choose the middle ground and your business cards will be the successful marketing piece you desire.
