Visiting cards (business cards) are essential for making a strong first impression, whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or corporate professional.
Here are some tips and tricks to help print high-quality visiting cards that stand out.
1. Choose the Right Paper Stock
2. Pick the Best Finish
3. Work in CMYK Color Mode
4. Maintain High Resolution
5. Optimize Fonts and Text
6. Check Bleed and Safe Zone
When designing your visiting card, it’s essential to include bleed and safe zone margins to avoid cut-off text or images.
- Bleed Area: Extend your design elements (like background colors) 3-5mm beyond the trim line to ensure no white edges are left after cutting.
- Safe Zone: Keep all critical information (text, logo, etc.) at least 3-5mm inside the trim line to prevent them from being accidentally cut.
