The Benefits of Business Cards

According to Statistic Brain Research Institute, 72% of people judge a company or person based on the quality of their business cards. Therefore, it's fundamental that you create professional looking business cards that make a positive, lasting impact.

39% of people would choose not to do business with someone if they have a "cheap looking" business card, as shared by a colourfast infographic. It's wise to choose quality paper stocks that display your attention to detail and passion for your business.

That being said, all of our standard business cards exceed the highest expectations. In fact, our standard size business cards are long on options and short on limitations.

Here are just a few ways to make your standard business cards anything but.

Add a little shine. A gloss cover or high gloss UV coating finish catches the light and attracts the eye. It’s a sure-fire way to stand out.
Go thicker. 4OVER4 gives you countless options when it comes to paper. You simply can’t go wrong with a thick, high-quality paper card. You can find standard size business cards in vastly different levels of thickness, ranging from 14 pt to with 80 pt.
Dot your I’s and round your corners. Never estimate the power of a good curve. At 4OVER4.com, you can choose between 3/8” and 1/8” inch radius corners. Rounded business cards bring out a new dimension and glide smoothly through the hands.
Try unconventional sizes. The standard size business card has stood the test of time. It feels natural to the touch and fits perfectly in card slots. But there’s just something about a square or custom-sized card. If you’re on the fence about alternative sizes, order a minimum amount and share them with your most trusted advisors.

Tips For Designing a Killer Business Card

A huge part of landing your dream job or attracting the attention of potential customers is how you present yourself to your audience. Powerful communication tools are a must. And personalized cards can exude charm and highlight your business persona. Here is a list of do's and don'ts when it comes to this must-have print product:

Don't:

Combine multiple typefaces
Make text abstract or illegible
Choose a generic design
Opt for a busy background
Select visually unappealing shapes

Fun Facts About Business Cards

The first business cards started to circulate in the 17th century in Europe, where they were used to announce the arrival of aristocratic people to their local town or even their home. They were the shape of a playing card and became a symbol of the elite by the middle of the century.

By the 18th and 19th centuries 'visiting cards' were given as tangible evidence of social obligations (like visiting homes).
In Japan, you should always use both hands to receive or handover a business card.
In China, it is preferred to present your own card before asking for another person's card.
In India, you should only give out and receive cards in your right hand.

In the United States, rules and custom involving business cards have evolved. However, many have stood the tests of time. For one, cards are typically handed out by the right hand. They should never be written on and should not be carried loosely in the pocket or a purse. And when you reach for a card, be sure to inspect it before passing it over—a near-hidden crease could tarnish an otherwise perfect exchange.

When thinking about business cards remember it's not just about sharing your contact information but rather it's about creating a lasting impression. So think about the kind of impression you want to leave with your contact. Do you want him/her to see your business as high-end, luxurious, and professional or are you running a business that is known for natural and organic products? Whatever you or your business is about, make sure you choose a business card that is right on the money when it comes to being on-brand. Perhaps the UV spot matte black business cards communicate high-end to you and kraft paper business cards are as natural as it can get.
