Direction 

 

Vertical or horizontal direction does not matter. A horizontal card allows you to organize information on the right and left of it. A vertical card requires to have its data under each other. However, most of our everyday cards is of horizontal format, it remains the most natural and is a reference.

To differentiate yourself from your competitors, you can choose different rendered finish as matte, gloss lamination or selective varnish. The coating is applied to the whole and increases its rigidity. If it is dull, the general appeal will be softer, ideal for wellness activities, health, nature. The selective coating allows for  to highlight some key elements of your business card –  logo, picture, text

Avoid: If you opt for filming, you can not write on your cards!

 

Information 

 
Professional Business Cards
 

Information from your card must answer three main questions: Who? what? how? If possible describe your “Unique Selling Proposition”, i.e. in which your company or you is different from others, the main argument that answers the question “Why should I opt from you rather than a competitor.”

Your card is not an advertisement, go only for the essentials. Today, there are many options available to embellish your cards so you stand out from the competition. For example it is possible to print on different paper types like transparent, chrome, silver, gold, grainy but we must keep in mind that your card should quickly learn about its owner and not cause confusion. If you do not feel the soul of a seasoned designer, be aware that a single card but the information is well organized, will always have more impact than a card too complex to disrupt the final user. Do not make a business card that looks like a tag.
