Designing and printing your business card doesn’t need to be complicated. With the right components, you have a “handshake” on a nice, small piece of paper … literally. It’s your brand. It’s your mini billboard. Easy to keep with you. Simple for someone to keep and remember you.
The three magical elements to nail down your business card are content, design and print.
Content
Too much information is not necessarily good information. We like to keep it simple and sweet. The trick is to have just enough contact info to lead your target audience to actually contact you. Just like a billboard’s message should only be limited to seven words, business cards need to be strategic with content.
Design
It’s a balance of connecting the visual brand while showcasing the information with beauty and order. Here at Juice, we take this dance daily and love it. Collaborating your company’s colors, logo and information to create a piece of art to hand out to the world is our business. (You can view some of our business card designs: click here.)
You probably have received a flimsy business card — it is not a good representation of that company. Instead, something that feels strong in your hands is recommended, because it reflects the strength of your business! We often use a 16-point paper stock, but there are a variety of other options too.
The next item to consider is the finish. You can choose a matte finish for a smooth modern look, while a gloss gives a shine and sharpening effect. Your other options are a silk finish which creates a nice touch as well as a suede effect which always gets a reaction! We are happy to help you find the best match for your brand.
What do we use for our Juice business cards? We use a 16-point paper stock with spot gloss and a silk finish. So you can see there are ways to layer the effects.
