Understand Business Card Design Principles:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting with the designing process, you need to understand the basic principles of business card design. Your Card should contain basic information such as your Name, Company Name, Position, Phone Number, Email, and Company Address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-principles.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-848\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-principles.png 900w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-principles-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-principles-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>business card design principles <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also put your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/logo-design\/\">Company\u2019s Logo<\/a><\/strong> in the center of the card and it should stand out the most than your other details. You can keep a <strong>5 mm<\/strong> distance with the trim edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Keep <strong>300dpi<\/strong> for the most appropriate image format. Choose a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/50-free-logo-fonts-with-downloadable-link\/\">smaller font size to maintain readability<\/a><\/strong>. You should design in <strong>CMYK<\/strong> colors unless you know your colors really well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>2. Avoid Basic Design Mistakes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you would want your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/logo-business-card-design\/\"><em><strong>business card designs<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to look really creative, you have to make sure that you avoid basic mistakes while being creative. Try not to skip any basic information without a cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-mistakes.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-mistakes.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-mistakes-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-mistakes-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-design-mistakes-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>avoid business card design mistakes <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Design terms, Ensure that you provide bleed space of at least <strong>5  mm<\/strong> so that your printing needs are easily meet and avoid keeping a border so that any misalignment can be easily camouflaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Keep a standard size which is <strong>3.5 x 2 inches<\/strong> as most wallets are designed in consideration with the standard <strong>business card size<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>3. Get Creative with the Finishing Options and Colours:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to look more creative and appealing, your business card can have a more distinguished look. Some of the famous special finishing options are Varnish and Spot UV, Cut Die, Foil Bloquing, Fold and Deboss. Choose whatever is most relatable for your Startup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/unique-business-card-design.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-851\" width=\"500\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/unique-business-card-design.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/unique-business-card-design-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/unique-business-card-design-768x295.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Unique business card design <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly colors make a really deep psychological impact in your mind. Imagine your brand and think of what color you can associate with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different colours create different emotions so you can also choose to use more colours to create an impact that you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended to keep a maximum of three colours to avoid any confusion but you can choose to use as many colours if it serves your brand\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>4. Experiment with Different Materials:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly people choose paper-based <strong>business card designs<\/strong> for their businesses for the simplest reason; it\u2019s cheap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure you can choose to go with paper-based options, but don\u2019t be afraid to experiment on some unusual material to print your business cards. You can start by relating the most relatable material that your business uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-854\" width=\"500\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/business-card-768x439.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For Example, Clothing Brands may choose to add some fibres to their business card designs. Let your business cards speak about your brand more than you have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just ensure that the cards are still portable and serves its purpose without being a hassle for anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>5. Develop a use for your business card:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has their own way of dealing with Business Cards. Some throw them away, some keep them stuffed in the wallet, and some store it somewhere to be used or recycled later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If you have a good idea about your customer or client behavior you can choose to modify your cards so that the people who get your cards can actually use them instead of throwing away or keeping it away from their eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands making phone accessories can choose to create business cards that fold into little stands for the phones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>6. Don\u2019t be afraid to recycle:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t plan to get new cards for your business, you can choose to be even more creative and give a new look to some old business cards or you can modify a postcard to look like your new business card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/recycled-business-card.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-855\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/recycled-business-card.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.designfier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/recycled-business-card-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>recycled business card via behance<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember not to go overboard and ensure that even though it\u2019s recycled, it should look like a new and a fresh card. You can get a great business card inspiration from anywhere so don\u2019t be afraid to explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>7. Check before Printing:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think you have finally come across something that can pass as your business card, don\u2019t forget to get it checked before sending them to print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you have maintained proper formatting, inserted essential details, checked alignment and colour scheme, and chosen a special finish for your business card design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>8.
