Business Card Design Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I include on my business card?
A professional business card should feature your full name, job title, company name, phone number, email address, and website. Optionally, you can add your physical address and social media profiles. Including a logo and a QR code can also enhance your card's effectiveness.
What is the standard size for a business card in the UK?
In the UK, the standard business card size is 85mm x 55mm. This dimension ensures that your card fits comfortably in wallets and standard cardholders. Using non-standard sizes may lead to your card being discarded or overlooked.
Can I use my own design for the business card?
Yes, you can provide an existing design for your business card. We can overhaul it to ensure that the design meets the required specifications, such as bleed areas, safe zones, and colour modes (preferably CMYK for printing).
What types of finishes are available for business cards?
Business cards can have various finishes, including matte, gloss, and soft-touch. Special finishes like foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV coating can add a tactile appeal and make your card stand out. The choice of finish can significantly impact the card's look and feel.
How can I make my business card stand out?
To make your business card memorable, consider using high-quality materials, unique design elements, and special finishes. Incorporating a compelling call to action, such as a QR code leading to your portfolio or a special offer, can also engage recipients and encourage follow-up
