A well-designed business card is important for making a professional impression. The card should include your name, job title, contact information, and business details in a clear, easy-to-read layout without overcrowding. Consistency in design with other business materials helps project a cohesive brand. Key information elements and a balanced proportional layout on the card help ensure readers remember who you are and how to contact you. Different card stock and finishing options are available to suit various needs and styles.

2. Business Card Layout and Design Guidelines
• The importance of a business card cannot be stressed
enough when it comes to projecting a professional and
long-lasting image in the minds of potential and existing
customers.
When designing the layout of the business card,
consider the following tips and guidelines:
Information: Decide what information should on the
business card. Remember, you want the reader to
remember who you are, what you do, and how to contact
you.

3. Layout and Design Do Not Overcrowd:
Since the business card is a very small document, it is
important not to try and “squeeze” too much information
on it. You do not want to lose the most important
information on the card due to overcrowding.
Consistency:
The look and design of a business card should be
consistent with other documents used in the business.
This helps to project a professional image. It says, “I care
about the way you perceive me and my business.”

4. Layout and Design Typefaces (Fonts):
Use no more than two different typefaces (fonts) on
your business card. This helps create a clean, easy-to-
read business card. Proportion: Keep the size and
placement of each element on the business card
balanced and in proportion. This will help make the
card more pleasing on the eyes of the reader. Have a
Paper Plan: Before putting anything on the computer,
sketch several possible business cards on paper and
experiment with different layouts and designs.
