When it comes to marketing and promoting business cards play a pivotal role. Given that they’re so commonplace it is really easy for most people to be indifferent to be handed a card if it doesn’t reflect something outstanding. Elegance in business card design is important in leaving a second impression after a face to face first impression and interaction with you or your brand.

BUSINESS CARD LAYOUT TIPS

Choosing the right layout for your card is another crucial step in getting your message across. We recommend most of our clients to do a rough sketch of their desired layout on paper or to have a graphic designer assist them on a initial draft. Here are a few things to consider as you go about creating a layout for your business card.

  • Industry (the type of business you are involved in)
  • Color
  • Font
  • Orientation (portrait or landscape)
  • Size

Experiments with the customizations listed above will help your narrow in on the right design and card layout suitable for you business.

Consider the text, images, or graphics that may appear on your card. Look at other business card examples that are standard in your line of business and industry. Giving these factors consideration will help you with your layout choices.
