Business Card Specifications

Great business cards have few specifications; however, they are extremely important. Obviously, you should include the details about your business: name, address and contact details. It is also important that a professional business card have your own logo or image that encapsulates your company and your personality.

It is very important that your business card will be printed in color. Would you want to watch a black and white TV today? It is also very important to use the highest printing quality available. Direct-to-plate printing presses are the latest technology in the industry. You will also want to use a good paper card stock. High-end, 12pt paper coated on both sides will work nicely. Additionally, you'll want to use high end images with 300 dots per inch (or dpi) so your image will look very sharp and clear.

Business Card Orders: How Long Does it Take?

Many printers take 3-4 weeks to turn around orders. This is because their facilities are set up to not only handle business cards, but also standard digital copies, brochures, etc. If you need your business cards fast, you should look for a printer that specializes in business cards. Not only will they be able to provide you with better designs and expert advice, but they should be able to return your order to you within 3-5 business days.

They say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." A captivating, unique business card will help you make a lasting impression.
