Golden Rules to Design Practical Business Cards Part One

The design of a business card is an essential milestone for everyone who dares to take the step into self-employment as a small business owner. From a potential customer's point of view, it is the first contact with your company, so try to make a positive impression. 

Choose a Template That Fits Your Brand Identity 

Your business card says a lot about you and your small business, so customizing it in your brand's style is essential. Interior designers attach great importance to modern elements and clear lines. A simple, clear business card template is recommended for them. Dog sitters, on the other hand, who want to express their open-minded character, should choose multi-colored, lively templates. 

When in doubt, consult a professional designer. If you have a friend who knows about print graphics, you can ask him or her for help. Otherwise, our design service experts are at your side. 

Set The Correct Font

If you've already chosen font for your website or marketing collateral, it's best to use it for your business card as well. There are a few things to consider with the font: it should match your brand identity and be easy to read.  

An elegant font is recommended for etiquette trainers, for example, and a typewriter-style font for writers. The minimum font size is 8 pts. Important information such as your name or the company name can easily be made larger, bold, or in a different font. 

A golden rule is not to use a font size smaller than 8 pt. The company name can be printed in a font size of 12 points or more.
