Business Cards

In today’s fast-paced world, business card printing can seem redundant: why carry around card stock when you can send interested parties to an online CV or LinkedIn profile? However, business cards are still useful, are a requirement in some cultures and are still the fastest, most convenient way to disclose a large amount of contact information at once; they’re not even dependent on Bluetooth or a Wi-Fi connection. And anyway, using our QR code business cards, you can turn your real-life card into a portal to your website and social media accounts!

Whether you’re a high-flying CEO or an apprentice dog groomer, there’s a theme, colour scheme or business card design to suit every trade or profession here. Some of our most popular, such as our hairdressers’ business cards, are accessible via the thumbnails at the top of the page. In terms of style and finish, click on the ‘Compare Papers’ button, found on each business card page, to learn more about the look and texture of each paper type. ‘Standard Matte’ is inexpensive and understated, for example, while ‘Premium Thick’ is heavier and more luxurious.

Business card sizes fluctuate around the world, but in the UK, the standard size is 85mm x 55mm (3.346" x 2.165"). On our business card pages, you’ll see this listed as our ‘UK/Euro’ size, but you can also view our ‘Mighty,’ ‘Mini’ and ‘American’ sizes, if you’d like to stand out from the crowd or are travelling to the U.S. on business. Check out our large business cards page if you’d like to see some templates that can accommodate more lines of information.

Now that you’ve settled on a size and design, it’s time to personalise it with your details. Use the ‘Personalise’ button – found on every template our Independent Creators have published – to quickly replace the placeholder text with your own information. Then, if you want to change the background colour, add more lines of text or insert a photo, hit ‘Edit Using Design Tool.’ Hone your skills with our ready-made designs and then challenge yourself to create a custom business card!

At the very least, your business card should say your name, the name of your business, your contact details and a short summary of what goods or services you provide. However, you could also include a slogan or tagline, a logo, your credentials or qualifications, a photo of yourself, a ‘call-to-action’ (CTA) or even a QR code, as we suggested earlier. Think about the layout when deciding whether to cram all of this onto one card, though. You want your business card to look considered and professional, rather than tacky and cluttered!

If you’ve finished designing your cards, click ‘Done’ and ‘Add to Cart’ to ready your item for purchase. Upon checkout, you’ll be presented with three shipping options: ‘Slow,’ ‘Standard’ and ‘Expedited,’ depending on how quickly you’d like your order to be delivered. Each shipping speed makes reference to printing or ‘Manufacturing,’ which, in the case of custom-made business cards – remember, everything on Zazzle is unique and only printed ‘on demand’ – will take 2 days. To save money on multiple orders (for example, if you intend to buy business card holders and business stationery later on), you can subscribe to ‘Zazzle Plus,’ which guarantees unlimited free shipping for a year.

Now that your brand-new cards have arrived, you’ve probably found yourself with a thick bundle of outdated business cards. Fortunately, however, almost all business cards are just made out of paper or card, so they can be easily recycled. Furthermore, our business cards in the UK are 100% FSC-certified: this means that the card stock has either already been recycled or has been sourced from well-managed forests overseen by the Forest Security Council. Not only are Zazzle’s business cards the best quality and value on the market, then, but they’re even environmentally-friendly!
