Screen backgrounds and colorings make a difference. A business card I have picked up has a linen finish, it stands out from the smooth printed personalized business calling card. Plain business cards with no colour don't stand out, but people often comment on the bright colors that cover my card, and how it draws the eye when they flick through their card wallet iy the array of cards.

Here are a few tips of how to make a business card that stands out from the rest!.

Professional Templates that you can design from
  1. Don't- Print type that is the size of ant’s feet. Your eyes may be great but mine aren’t
  2. Don't- Print on perforated 10 up card templates from your ink jet or laser printer. Remember that first impression?
  3. Don't- Choose colors that clash or do not compliment each other. See our color wheel that explains 10 colors relating to each other.
    These colors have 3 basic relationships: Adjacent, Contrasting and Complimentary  Adjacent colors share a common side and are similar.
    Contrasting colors are those which have three other colors between them.
    Complimentary colors are those on opposite sides of the color wheel. http://www.weprintcolor.com/usingcolour2.htm
  4. Don't- Use a co worker’s business card and hand write your information on it. You might be able to use this once but don’t try it on your second or third meeting.
  5. Don't- Print your business card with typographically incorrect information then try to patch it up. I will again, suggest that you rely on the resources at hand. For the $49 a company like ours would charge you to completely reproduce 500, professionally printed, high quality, full color, aqueous coated business cards it’s a no brainer.
  6. Don't- Chew bubble gum, wear sun glasses or wear a beard. Although these will not necessarily get your business card discarded, statistical no no’s. Also a good example of how you are first, your business card should serve as a reminder of you. In the real estate sector most real estate agents print a picture of themselves on their business card for this reason.
  7. Don't- Print your business card in an irregularly large format. Your card looks unique and professional but I can’t file it in my business card file system that I keep all my key suppliers in. Oversized business cards are becoming more popular and given the right circumstances can be delivered effectively.

    However from an overall perspective I recommend that mainstream business stick with the standard size- 2 X 3 ½”.
  8. Don't- Print your critical contact information on the back or on the inside of a fold over business card. Once I file your business card in my file system, all of your contact information should be easily read at a glance…I want to place my order now.
  9. Don't- Print on thin or flimsy material. This projects a feel of cheapness. Besides if you managed to WOW your prospect and your business card makes it into his /her wall of fame pouch,  it will not survive the test of time.
  10. Don't- do this... This is the final and most important for the rookie to intermediate graphic designers. Have you ever heard of look-too-close-itis? Many graphic designers that develop onscreen work at a highly magnified viewing level while designing and editing. Sure everything looks great at 500% magnified view, but when the card is printed it is printed 100%. A good practice, before sending your business card file for professional printing is to print your own hardcopy and give it a glace from a 3 foot distance. Make sure your message is being communicated when you do this. If it is not working, back to editing and repeat the process.
Take your time and it will be worth your extra efforts. This will be reflected in the finished product.

convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver's name, company affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s) and/or e-mail addresses. A professional business card will often (but not always) include one or more aspects of striking visual design.

Business cards are frequently used during sales calls to provide potential customers with a means to contact the business or representative of the business.

Visiting card of Johann van Beethoven, Brother of Ludwig van BeethovenBusiness cards evolved from a fusion of traditional trade cards and visiting cards.

Visiting cards (also known as calling cards) first appeared in China in the 15th century, and in Europe in the 17th century. The footmen of aristocrats and of royalty would deliver these first European visiting cards to the servants of their prospective hosts solemnly introducing their arrival.

Visiting cards became an indispensable tool of etiquette, with sophisticated rules governing their use. The aristocracies of North America and the rest of Europe adopted the practice from French and English etiquette.

Visiting cards included refined engraved ornaments and fantastic coats of arms. The visiting cards served as tangible evidence of the meeting of social obligations. The stack of cards in the card tray in the hall was a handy catalog of exactly who had called and whose calls one should reciprocate. They also provided a streamlined letter of introduction.

With the passage of time, visiting cards became an essential accessory to any 19th-century upper or middle class lady or gentleman. Visiting cards were not generally used among country folk or the working classes.

Trade cards first became popular at the beginning of the 17th century in London. These functioned as advertising and also as maps, directing the public to merchants' stores, as no formal street address numbering system existed at the time.

Businesses used their cards as marks of distinction and thus introduced the first modifications in their design. Later, as the growing demand for the cards boosted the development of color printing, more sophisticated card designs appeared, making the cards works of art.

The trend toward fanciful trade cards was balanced by the pragmatic need of a growing group of private entrepreneurs who had a constant need to exchange contact information. These users often started to print out their own cheaper business cards.

Current usage


With the economic leveling of the 20th century, and the wane of social formality, the rigid distinction between trade cards and visiting cards slowly faded except in the highest socio-economic classes.

In the highest socio-economic classes, there remains even today a rigid distinction between business cards and visiting cards. In such social circles, it is still considered to be in very poor taste to use a business card when making a social call. A business card, left with the servants, could imply that you had called on business.

For the rest of the world, the exchange of business cards has become common even for social introductions. Some people carry "personal" business cards which contain only personal contact information and have no relation to their employer or business.

Other formats

Compact Disc Business CardRecent technological advances have made CD-ROM "business cards" possible which can hold about 35 to 100 MB of data. These cards may be square, round or oblong but are approximately the same size as a conventional business card. CD business cards are designed to fit within the 80 mm tray of a computer's CD-ROM drive. They are playable in most computer CD drives. Despite the ability to include dynamic presentations and a great deal of data, these cards are not in common use.

Most handheld computers have the ability to "beam" (send through infra-red communication) an electronic business card, eliminating the need for the recipient to re-key the contact information.
