What's Happening in Lynnwood-Pretoria, Gauteng…

There is something pleasantly tactile about paper Business Cards. Digital business cards are practical, whether you share a QR code or send something directly, but it just doesn’t have the same presence. At Minuteman Press Lynnwood, we can design and print glossy, embossed, textured, and uniquely shaped business cards – to name but a few options. What should you consider when designing business cards? 

Personal Or Professional Business Card?

When creating your business card, one of the most important things you should consider is what type of business card it is. There are two types:

1. Personal business cards: These cards are a way to identify yourself as an individual. These cards can be used to make friends and network.

2. Professional business cards: These cards can be used to identify you professionally and establish professional connections with clients, colleagues, employers, and other professionals.

You should consider the setting in which your card will be used and the goals you want to achieve by using business cards. This will allow you to choose between a professional and a personal business card.

Standard Or Differently Shaped Business Cards?

Standard size for business cards is 8.9 x 5.1cm. Depending on the design, these business cards can be arranged horizontally or vertically. Although this is the most common size that can fit into a wallet, it is not the only one you have. You can make your card stand out by using a smaller or different shape like a square or circle.

Photograph Or Logo?

You can include your logo, business colour, and graphics to identify your business quickly. If you wish to be remembered and easily recognisable, you can also include your photograph.

Are Business Cards Visually Appealing?

Your business card must contain many pieces of information. Your name and contact information are two examples. You can play with fonts and typography, then adjust the size and colour until you have everything visually appealing and easy-to-read.

Standard Or Rich Finish?

Finishes are the last thing you should consider when designing your business card. These finishes include cardstock options, embossing, foil embellishments, magnets, etc. To ensure the right finishes for your business cards, consult a professional.
