Order this timeless classic from us. Goethe counted them among his possessions almost 200 years ago and they still haven't lost their importance after his death - business cards. They remain an indispensable part of everyday business life and serve as an important medium for exchanging contact information even in the digital age. Don't forget, first impressions count and the business card is an important advertisement.
If you are looking to print business cards, our online print shop is here for you.
Even in the 21st century, millions of people still have business cards printed each year. They remain an important means of communication to introduce oneself and company in the best possible way. A good first impression and matching business card with an aesthetic design, printed in the highest quality, is guaranteed to win the respect of your target audience and thus increase your chances of a successful business deal.
Business cards may seem young and fresh, although they are actually quite old. But regardless of their age or form, they have always served some important basic functions.
Designing business cards seems simple. You place the most important data and your logo along with a bold slogan on the business card and that's it. But appearances can be deceiving. To design the perfect business card, you need to consider a few things.
Tip::You can save space by avoiding words like "Mail:", "Tel.:" or "Web.:". Such content is easily identifiable without the additional labelling.
Font size and font must also be carefully chosen. An 8 point font is ideal. This is not too large but is still easily readable. It is best to make an inspection sheet and check the legibility before you print your personalised business card.
You should use a font that harmonises with your logo or corporate identity. It is a good idea to use your company font if you have one. However, when choosing any font you should make sure that it is not too playful or ornate, but clear and legible. Otherwise, the promotional impact and positive impression will fizzle out the moment the illegible business card is laid aside unread.
If you want to make a serious impression, it is advisable to choose a colour that does not scream at the reader. Always use colours that are easy to read and stand out from the background. Always design your business card in a colour scheme that matches your corporate design. If your company's corporate colour is red, then the card should not be designed in green or blue.
What can the back be used for?Leaving the reverse side blank may well mean wasted potential. Instead, it can be used for the company logo, a QR code or a slogan. For certain service providers, such as doctors, physiotherapists, hairdressers or nail studios, the back of the card also makes a perfect appointment card. A blank white space isn't always a bad thing either, it offers your business partner space for additional notes.
Depending on your wishes, you can order classic business cards from us in the two standard formats, 85 x 55 mm and 90 x 50 mm (XL format) on 300g coated art paper in a matt or gloss finish.
