Your business card printers: helping to put a face to a name

As business card printers we know that even in today’s digital age business cards really matter. A striking design with crisp, clear copy can fix both you and your business in the minds of those you meet; they are tangible reminders of who you are and what your business offers, as well as giving a more personal touch to your communications. 

As business card printers we’re convinced that these small pieces of card carry an importance that belies their size, so why not make the most of their impact with a carefully thought-out design and clear information? 

Here are some top tips to create memorable business cards which will make you stand out from the crowd:

• Remember that the main purpose of your card is to give clear information in an accessible format.  Oddly shaped cards may look creative, but may end up in the bin if they don’t fit into a card holder or wallet

• Keep the background pale or white on one side of the card; it’s easier for your contacts to add some notes if they need to

• Print text in a dark colour as it’s easier to read

• Seek professional advice for a design that will reflect your brand and services

• Use unclear fonts. You may like swirly, handwriting-style fonts, but don’t forget that your card is a business tool: keep it legible  

• Fill every space on the card. White space enables the reader to scan the text with less effort to pick out the important information

• Failure to proofread could be disastrous! Spelling errors are an absolute no-no and a mistake on your contact details can mean a lost business opportunity 

• Don’t let your business cards get out of date. Regularly check your business cards to ensure that every piece of information is up to date

Your business card is a cost-effective way to make the right impression about your business and it’s a powerful marketing tool. Make it memorable, but make it apt, with a design which accurately reflects your business.
