A visiting card you can print today

A visiting card (also called a business card) is still the quickest way to leave your name and number with a customer. A good card is easy to read, carries the right details and looks like it belongs to your business.

This visiting card maker gives you seven ready designs, each with a matching front and back. You type your details once, see both sides update as you type, and download files that are ready for a home printer or a printing shop. Everything happens inside your browser. Your phone number, address and logo are never uploaded, and there is no watermark on any file.

How to make your visiting card

1. Optionally tap a sample (doctor, advocate, CA, shop, teacher or freelancer). It fills a sample designation, tagline and design that you then change to your own.
2. Type your name, designation and business name. Add a short tagline if you like, such as "Wiring, fans and lighting since 1998".
3. Add one or two phone numbers. Ten-digit mobile numbers are shown as +91 98765 43210; choose "None" in the code box if you don't want the +91.
4. Fill in your email, website and address. Leave any of them blank and the card simply leaves that line out.
5. Upload your logo if you have one; without one, the card shows your initials in a neat badge. You can also add a photo, shown in a circle on the front, which suits doctors, agents and consultants.
6. Pick a template, then a colour set, or choose your own main and second colours. Choose a font: modern, classic serif or simple sans.
7. Choose the card size: 3.5 × 2 inches or 85 × 55 mm.
8. Decide what the QR code on the back should do: save your contact, open your website, take a UPI payment, or no QR at all.
9. Download the A4 print sheet, the print-shop PDF or the front and back PNGs.

Card sizes and the files you get

Most printers in India cut visiting cards to 3.5 × 2 inches. In millimetres that is 88.9 × 50.8 mm, because an inch is exactly 25.4 mm. The 85 × 55 mm size is common for European-style cards and is offered by many printers too. Confirm the size with your printer before you send a file.

What is bleed? If your card has a coloured edge, the printer needs a little extra background beyond the cut line, so that no thin white strip shows if the cut is slightly off. Many print shops ask for 3 mm of bleed, which is what the print-shop PDF includes. If your printer asks for a different bleed, tell them the trim size is 88.9 × 50.8 mm (or 85 × 55 mm).

The QR code on the back

• Save my contact stores a vCard, the standard contact format described in IETF RFC 2426. When someone scans it, their phone offers to save your name, phone numbers, email, website and business name together, with no typing. Your address is left out to keep the code small and easy to scan.
• Website opens your site or online store directly.
• UPI payment makes a standard upi://pay link with your UPI ID and business name, so customers can pay with any UPI app and type the amount themselves. Test it with a small payment from another phone before printing.

The QR is printed in near-black on a white box, which is the most reliable combination for phone cameras. Add a short line under it, such as "Scan to save my number", so people know what it does.

Printing at home: step by step

1. Use card paper your printer can feed (check its manual). Open the A4 sheet PDF and print page 1 on plain paper first. Hold it against page 2 printed on the back, up to a light, to check the fronts and backs line up.
2. Print with the scale set to Actual size or 100%. "Fit to page" shrinks the cards and the size will be wrong.
3. Print double-sided with flip on long edge. If your printer has no duplex, print page 1, put the sheet back in the tray the right way round, and print page 2.
4. Cut along the crop marks with a paper trimmer or a steel ruler and a sharp cutter. A trimmer gives much straighter edges than scissors.

What to ask a local printer

Prices and options differ from shop to shop and city to city, so ask before you order:

• Paper thickness (GSM): which card weights they stock. A higher GSM number means thicker, stiffer card. Ask to feel a sample.
• Finish: matte (soft look, easy to write on), gloss (brighter colours) or lamination (more durable).
• File format: whether they want PDF with bleed, PNG or something else, and whether they need crop marks.
• Proof: ask for a printed or digital proof before the full run, and check every number on it.

Tips for a card that works

• Keep it short. Name, designation, one or two phone numbers, email, website and a short address are enough.
• Check every digit. One wrong number in a phone or UPI ID makes the whole batch useless. Call the number and scan the QR from the downloaded PNG before printing.
• Use a clear logo or photo. A PNG logo with a transparent background looks cleanest; for a photo, use a sharp head-and-shoulders shot with a plain background.
• Mind the contrast. Light text on a light colour is hard to read in a dim shop. If you pick custom colours, make sure your name still stands out.
• Check your profession's rules. Some professional bodies have rules on what members may print on cards. If you are a doctor, advocate or chartered accountant, check your council's guidance before adding claims or titles.
• Print a few first. Try ten cards at home before ordering a large batch.
