A business card is one of the few physical touchpoints your brand has in the real world. Most small business cards look like they were ordered from a template at 2am and printed overnight. They work technically, but they do not make anyone pick them up off a table and look at them twice.
We design business cards for small businesses that are grounded in your brand identity: the right colors, the right typography, the right layout, and finish options that match the impression you want to make. Print-ready files delivered for any printer you choose, or we can handle the printing coordination.
Part of our Branding and Design service. Works alongside brand identity and other marketing materials.
A business card that works is one people keep. That means it communicates who you are and what you do quickly, looks significantly better than the standard template cards most people hand out, and gives the recipient a clear next step (website, phone, email). The design elements that matter most are typography legibility at small sizes, color that matches your brand identity exactly, and finish quality that communicates the same level of care your business puts into its work. A card printed on thin stock with a generic font signals something about your business whether you intend it to or not.
Business cards typically run $50 to $500 for a standard print run of 250 to 500 cards depending on the paper stock, finish (matte, gloss, soft touch, spot UV), and whether any specialty printing like foil or letterpress is involved. Design cost is separate: custom business card design runs $200 to $600 depending on the complexity and whether it is part of a larger brand identity project. The premium print finishes (thick stock, soft touch matte, spot UV) cost more but make a significantly different impression than standard cards, which matters in industries where physical presentation is part of what you are selling.
Both sides of a business card are real estate. The front typically carries your logo, name, title, and primary contact information (phone, email, website). The back is where most businesses leave value on the table. Effective uses of the back include: a short statement of what you do and who you serve, a QR code linking to your portfolio or booking page, a specific offer or next step, or a visual that reinforces the brand. We design both sides as a cohesive unit rather than treating the back as an afterthought.
