You’ve done all the legwork to start your own company. You picked a name, put together a business plan and successfully launched it. But now you need marketing materials, including business cards. Where do you start?

If you are on a budget like most small entrepreneurs, you are better off designing a business card on your own. Especially when lots of printing websites offer hundreds of templates and layouts to choose from.

Only downside though is navigating the design process. To make the process easy, we at ‘Out of the Box‘, have decided to write a tutorial on how to design online business cards.

Another advantage of designing business cards through templates is that you don’t have to worry about a lot of things like file size, bleed settings etc

Step 1:

Identify the product you would be building including all the options: 1 sided vs 2 sided, Kind of finish (matte vs Gloss) etc.

Step 2: Once you’ve decided on the business card product the next step would be designing the card.

You can go to the ‘Online Designer’ tool and browse the various templates available.
