Make the most of the originality of a square business card for your business
Salesperson, self-employed, company director, salesperson: many professionals hand out business cards to their customers, prospects or business partners on a daily basis.
Ideal for passing on your contact details, but also for noting an appointment on the back, they are essential for any contact. However, as business cards are often all the same size, they tend to get lost at the bottom of a wallet or drawer.
At COPYMAGE, we offer you several possibilities to personalise your business cards and to stand out from your competitors, notably thanks to the square business card.

Typography

When cutting, it is very difficult to centre a frame with the edges of the card. The result is often disappointing. In order to limit the visual impact of an offset at the time of cutting we recommend a safety margin of at least 4mm between the outside of the thread and the edge of the card.
Here is an illustration of the front and back depending on the positioning and reading direction.
INDESIGN SETTING
When creating your document, make sure you are in Print mode. Put 5 mm in Bleed (More Options Menu > Bleed).
When your document is finished, export it (File menu > Export) in Adobe PDF format (printing) by checking the box for Cuts (Cues and bleeds > Cuts)
PHOTOSHOP ADJUSTMENT
When creating your file, add 1cm (to get 5mm on each edge) to the final size of your document.
Then create markers (View menu > New marker) and enter the horizontal and vertical measurements in millimetres (mm).
The markers will allow you to see a preview of your document as it will look when finished. Be careful to respect a safety margin by not putting any important elements within 5 mm of the markers. To finish, save your document (File>Save as) in Adobe PDF format without changing any of the settings.
ILLUSTRATOR SETTING
Create your document in the format and add 5 mm of bleed (More Options menu > Bleed)
When your document is finished, export it (menu File > Export) in Adobe PDF format (printing) by checking the box for Cuts ( Cues and Bleeds > Cuts)
Types of laminations
Laminating is a way of ennobling paper by applying a thin layer of synthetic film. This film is applied to the paper under heat and increases its thickness and rigidity, while giving it a very attractive appearance. This technique also improves durability and protects the paper over time.
Glossy lamination
A glossy lamination gives depth and impact. It is an option that makes the colours more vivid and eye-catching.
Matte lamination
Matte lamination gives an elegant and more prestigious look than gloss lamination
Peach skin lamination (soft touch)
Similar to matte lamination, it also gives a very soft touch that adds a tactile dimension to the business card.
Selective varnish
This glossy varnish is applied selectively to highlight the important elements of your visual.
3D selective varnish
This technique allows you to highlight elements of your design by selectively applying a thick layer of varnish. By playing with the thickness you can create textures.
TO REMEMBER
- Matte and peach skin laminations look elegant and darken photos and logos.
- Glossy lamination has an impactful look and gives a bright appearance to photos and logos.
The uses of the square business card
Most often, business cards are hand-delivered to business partners or potential clients following a meeting or appointment, but they can be distributed on many other occasions:
- In a goodie bag
- Stapled to a brochure
- Added to a brochure
- Stapled to a quote
- With an order or package
The square business card, like the other cards available at COPYMAGE, has the advantage of being very inexpensive, so don't hesitate to distribute them without counting the cost.
By attaching a card with your contact details to a sales brochure or order, you ensure that your customer or prospect can contact you directly if they need to. Without your contact information at hand, they may put off calling you and never get back to you, which could mean you lose a sale.
Available formats for square business card printing
The square business card is increasingly sought after by COPYMAGE's customers as it allows them to stand out from the competition. When ordering a square business card, you can choose between three sizes:
- Square mini (5.5 x 5.5 cm): ideal for a simple, uncluttered business card that doesn't take up space in a wallet
- Standard square (6 x 6 cm): this intermediate size card allows you to add a little more content than the first one while keeping a mini size
- Large square (6.5 cm x 6.5 cm): still smaller than the standard business card (8.5 x 5.4 cm), it allows you to stand out from the competition while still being able to show a lot of information
Square business card printing can be done on a single-sided or double-sided card, but also on a double-sided card. The double-sided card allows for four printable sides, ideal for those who wish to add an appointment setting area to their square business card, add a logo or a map for example.
You can also choose between a plain square business card printed in black and white or a more designer one in colour.
The different finishing options for your card
For even more originality, COPYMAGE suggests that you equip your square business card with rounded rather than square corners. Not only does this allow you to stand out from the crowd by adding a modern touch to your card, but it also prevents the corners of your business card from getting bent.
You can choose anylamination option you like for your square business card:
- Glossy lamination for better colour rendition and an attractive visual effect
- Matt lamination for a touch of elegance and prestige
- Soft-touch lamination for a soft-touch, matt visual effect
Add an extra touch of originality by opting for selective varnish:
- Selective varnish to highlight certain elements only
- 3D selective varnish to make certain parts of the square business card stand out by using different thicknesses
You can apply the chosen finish to one side of the square business card only or to both sides, depending on your wishes. Please note: if you choose the selective varnish option, it cannot be placed too close to the edges of the card.
Frequently asked questions about square business cards
What should be the resolution of the file sent for printing?
When you send a design to our printing company for the printing of square business cards, the resolution of the image must be at least 300 DPI. If this value does not speak for itself, you should know that it corresponds to the quality of the image. The higher the resolution, the better the result when printing, even if the image has to be enlarged considerably.
The acronym DPI stands for "Digit Per Inch" which can be translated as "pixel per inch". Your image must therefore contain 300 pixels per inch to be printed in optimal conditions.
The software generally offers standard images at 72 DPI, however this adjustment can be made very easily via the settings of your design software (Photoshop, InDesign, etc). If you have any difficulties in making this adjustment, do not hesitate to contact our teams by telephone.
What tips should I follow for an effective business card?
Your business card is not meant to convince your customers or prospects that you offer interesting goods or services, it is meant to enable them to contact you quickly.
The communication surface is limited, so you must carefully select the information to be shown on it when ordering square business card printing.
If we could give you just one piece of advice, it would be to keep it simple and efficient: write down your contact details and those of the company clearly, using a simple and readable font such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman in a minimum of 7.5 to ensure that everything is legible.
Similarly, the choice of colours and backgrounds is important to ensure that the information is clearly visible.
How to choose between different designs?
The process of creating a visual can be very time consuming as we often hesitate between different choices of colours, fonts, sizes, etc.
If you are hesitating between several models and cannot make a final decision, the best solution is to choose the proof option. The proof, or "Bon À Tirer", is a printed version in one copy that we produce to allow you to validate the final rendering of your square business cards.
By requesting several proofs, you can compare the result obtained with various colour and font options in order to choose the one that best corresponds to the result you wish to obtain after printing.
If required, our teams are available by telephone to give you advice on your square business cards. If you need your business cards urgently, we can also offer you suitable solutions such as delivery by courier to the location of your choice or 4H express printing.
