A large number of business cards are printed on one sheet, which is then cut into individual cards. We recommend that you include a 3mm “bleed” on the edges to accommodate slight cutting variations. Avoid putting text along the edges and avoiding borders that may appear off-center after being cut.

Email and cell phones can’t replace the tangible value of business cards. At a networking event, handing out business cards is a way to keep the conversation focused on you and not technology.

Simple is the key to a business card that’s successful. Make sure to include the most important information necessary to contact you or learn more about what your company does. Don’t forget to leave lots of space.

Foil stamped business cards are very popular, especially when embossing is added. This is a great opportunity to place your business cards where they will be seen. Place your business cards in stacks at local businesses.

Foil stamping gives your business cards a professional look that will make people remember you and what you do. You can use them to promote your company and show that you are serious about quality.
