What is a business card?

As a major communication tool, the creation of business cards has become, in a few years, an indispensable tool in the professional world. This document is presented in the form of more or less rigid paper, containing a set of information intended to be communicated. These can contain various contact details such as the name, activity and contacts of a company or association.

The design of the business card has been thought out in such a way as to make it easier for the holder to promote his activities. Indeed, it is a quality contact tool that acts instantly. In order to maximise its popularity, the person concerned will distribute its cards to anyone who might be interested in its activities. This could be friends, colleagues, acquaintances or even family members. This method offers a kind of free promotion, and given the price of advertising these days, it is a good alternative.

The medium makes it possible to create a network quickly, by facilitating contact with clients and/or prospects. It is also an original way of conveying a good image of one's company and giving it a more formal appearance. If this formalism is quite appreciated, it is now possible to personalise business documents according to the personality and objectives of the holder. Colour, style, lamination, finishes... the possibilities for creating a new, 100% original design are almost endless.

Thanks to its small size, the business card can be carried everywhere, stored in a pocket, a bag or in a wallet. Moreover, its practicality is one of the reasons for its success with users. The more elaborate the document, the more it makes potential customers want to know more about the distributor.

Business card printing formats

The design and printing of business cards is carried out by an expert in the field, in particular by a printing house or a specialist in business cards. There are several models of business card and many sizes available. Size contributes to better visibility, so it is common for some companies to opt for fairly large sizes. However, a device that is too large may be impractical or even annoying to some people. On the other hand, there are standard sizes to make it easier to store the file in a card holder or wallet. Those who opt for an unusual size would run the risk of creating models that will ultimately end up in the bin.

The standard size is similar to that of a standard bank card. It can be carried everywhere and is easy to store. Opting for the CB design is advantageous, as it is practical, as the user only has to take it out of his wallet to access it. The CB dimensions are 8.5 cm x 5.4 cm or 8.5 cm x 5.5 cm. These are the most common references, but above all the most popular in the printing industry. A cardboard of this size fits in all classic wallets. In addition, a minimalist look will be much more affordable, so there's no need to spend a fortune on free advertising!

In addition to the standard models, you will find other sizes. Your printer will be able to offer you different sizes according to your needs and budget. The most common sizes found in print shops are the following:

• The postal or "size 30" model

This is the ancestor of the CB model. It is large and much wider. This model does not fit in wallets, and is more convenient to distribute at events or special occasions. Files of this size are generally not intended to be saved by their recipients.

• The "little card

The little card is very popular because of its small size. It is 8.5 cm x 2.5 cm.

• The one with dimensions of 9 cm x 5.5 cm

Types of business cards to print

The choice of this type of product depends on individual preferences, there is something for everyone. Depending on the skills and qualities of the printer,card printing can range from the most basic to the most sophisticated. Today, printing techniques have evolved, offering a wide range of possibilities.

From single-sided models to large double-sided sizes and the most popular ones, the selection is very diverse. The double-sided variants are also very popular and offer plenty of space for writing.

The grammage is a crucial factor in the choice of your business cardboard. It represents the thickness of the paper, and therefore its durability. The higher the grammage, the more rigid the document. Its unit of measurement is expressed in g/m2. Printers generally offer paper weights of between 200 and 400 g. However, it would be more interesting to choose a paper weighing around 350 g in order to obtain a clean and not too heavy result.

Copymage offers a variety of finishing options for a unique look and feel to suit everyone's requirements. These include gloss, matt or SOFT TOUCH lamination as well as selective or 3D varnish. Selective varnish offers a superior design, while 3D varnish adds relief to the cardboard.

Copymage is aware of the importance of this communication medium and is committed to creating a device that suits you. Customisation is at the heart of our business and we strive to offer you something new every day.

Who is the business card printing for?

Businesscard printing is aimed at both individuals and professionals. The device allows the holder to promote their activities or simply their name.

The cardboard printing service, whether it is double-sided or not, offers the possibility of communicating useful information to prospects with its content. This information, the colour, as well as the style of the text should reflect the person distributing it as much as possible.

It is also a set of techniques brought together to bring a personal touch and originality. As the aim is to capture attention and promote a higher public profile, it is important to create a creative and high quality work. This will help you stand out from your competitors.

The production of the material is also intended for any person or group wishing to promote an event. This is the case, for example, for sales operations, exhibitions or any other similar activity. Although the primary objective is commercial, it is not uncommon to find associations using the device to promote a non-profit event.
