By continue reading this post, I will assume that you’re not familiar about Business Cards and that you need the information below to further your understanding about it. Or probably you still don’t have any business cards and wishes to have one, but does not know what design or layout of the card should be. Or another thing is wala lang you just want to read this post. 
Well these are just basic informations about business cards, but I hope you could pick up some ideas that would somehow help on the design and concept of your card.
So.. What is a Business Card?
According to National Encyclopedia, business card is:
“a small card made of thin carton with the owner’s name and, usually, address.”
Well, business cards today also contains contact information such as: Telephone, fax, mobile numbers, and email. Others also put their websites and services/products as well.
Here’s an example of a basic business card layout:
This is my dad’s business card, FYI.
In my opinion, the more simple, professional, and formal your card is, the better – unless you’re a designer that should showcase some good designs on your card. I’m not saying you can’t pimp your card, but pimp it professionally (see samples below).
It is also better to not overload your card with information. Basic information will do. Too much information will make your card look unorganized and will be difficult to read.
Use contrasting font colors and be sure that the font size is reader friendly. Your main goal is for your contact to have a hard copy of your contact details, and the worst thing you can do is make your business card unreadable.
Here are some great samples of business cards: (Click to enlarge)
