5 rules for great business card design |Quality Printing London

25 July 2016

Business cards may be small, but their power should not be underestimated. They can
win new connections and grow business opportunities. Here are our top tips to create
effective and innovative business cards that are aesthetically pleasing and fused with
emotion, ensuring to leave a long-lasting and favourable impression.

1. Visual experience

The front and back looks clean and professional, yet the metallic painting to the edges
give your card a shiny element that really stands out.

2. Colourful and attractive

Business cards do not have to be flat and static. Show how creative you can get with bright
and happy colours.

3. Unique elements

If bright colours are not your style, try die-cutting and digital embossing to highlight the most
vital features, like symbols and logos, of your business card.

4. Large and in charge

Prominent typographical features can make your business card more easily readable
and clearly unforgettable.

5. Elegant shape

Evolve away from the traditional rectangular form to differentiate from the competition.
A square is simple and elegant shape and will be a great conversation starter during your
networking or business events.
