A business card is held in the hand and read in seconds. Good card design is less about standing out and more about making the needed detail easy to find immediately.
Keep a safe margin
Because of the cutting tolerance, text placed close to the edge is risky. Keeping type a sensible distance in means small trim shifts stop being a problem.
Do not shrink the type
When space runs short the first instinct is to shrink the type — but the right fix is usually to carry less information. A name, a role, a phone number, an e-mail and one address are normally enough.
Choosing a finish
Matt lamination resists fingerprints and reads calmer; gloss makes colours livelier. If people will write on the card by hand, an uncoated or matt finish is more practical.
