Layout
Each of our templates has a recommended layout for you to customise. However, our online editor grants you creative freedom to add as much text and imagery as you desire. It’s important to be mindful of not overcrowding the design, ensuring your business cards remain visually appealing and reflective of your brand identity.
Font Size
We advise against using font sizes below 9pt on your business cards, as anything smaller may become illegible for the reader.
Preview
Prior to finalising your design, be sure to preview your business card using the preview button within the editor. This feature allows you to visualise exactly how the card will appear when printed.

Business cards are essential for networking events, meetings, and conferences, serving as a tangible reminder of your brand long after the initial interaction. Each card you hand out is an opportunity to make connections and foster relationships, so it’s vital to have a design that speaks to your values and expertise.
In addition to their practical function, business cards can also serve as a mini portfolio, allowing you to highlight your services or unique selling points. Consider including a QR code or a tagline that reflects your brand’s mission to enhance your card’s effectiveness.

Creating your own business card is easier than you might think. Start by using our user-friendly online editor to choose a template that fits your brand, and customise it to suit your needs—or create your own layout from scratch. Be sure to include essential details like your name, job title, company name, contact information, and logo if you have one. Once you’re happy with the design, simply add your cards to the basket. Alternatively, if you’ve designed your cards using another tool, save your file in a high-resolution format, such as PDF, to ensure your design looks sharp when printed. Then, send it to us, and we’ll take care of the printing on our premium 400gsm Uncoated Artboard, ensuring superb colour accuracy and high-definition print.
Yes, you can design and print business cards using Microsoft Word, although it’s not recommended. Word has very basic features that you can customise with your details, but the design options are somewhat limited. Once you’ve created your design, you can print the cards on your home printer, but keep in mind that the quality won’t be as high as using our professional service and you’ll likely be printing on very thin card, typically 250gsm, which is quite flimsy and not setting the best ‘quality’ tone for your business. For the best results, especially if you want sharp images and vibrant colours, it’s recommended to use our printing service where we print on 400gsm Uncoated Artboard using high-end digital printers.
We recommend using our online editing tool to get the best results from your business card design. Our editor is specifically configured to work seamlessly with our state-of-the-art print machines, and our team of dedicated print experts ensures your cards are produced with the utmost care and attention to detail. The editor automatically applies the correct margins and bleed to your design, ensuring no important details are cut off during printing.
If you prefer to create a business card using Microsoft Word, start by selecting a business card template from the built-in options. Set the canvas size to 91mm x 61mm and keep all text and important information at least 8mm from the edges of your design. Once complete, save the document as a PDF to preserve formatting and quality, then send it to us for professional printing. We’ll make sure your business cards are printed sharp and vibrant on our premium 400gsm Uncoated Artboard.
Please note, it’s much easier to design business cards using our online tool. While Microsoft Word is excellent for word processing, it is not ideal for graphic design tasks like business card creation. We recommend trying our online editor first for the best experience.
Business cards are typically printed on thick 400gsm card, which provides a sturdy feel and durability.
