Introduction
A business card is such and ubiquitous thing that it needs no introduction. However, since we also deal in designing business cards, some introduction would not be out of place. The term " visiting card " (the precursor to business card) is often used as an alternative, but a visiting card was a social etiquette tool used by the aristocrats, royalty and upper class in olden times.
Modern business cards may range from a piece of thick paper stock showing just the name and contact details of the person to an elaborate one showing the name, designation, company affiliation, company logo, address(es), telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail and website of the giver.
Business cards are a necessary tool for presenting your company (or the individual representing your company) as a way of formal introduction. Business cards often serve as an icebreaker between two strangers.
An attractive business card often serves as a passport to the successful business associations.
Types of Business Cards
Most simple business cards are printed with black text on white card stock, with or without logos or other graphic elements. These types of cards are preferred by professionals like lawyers, accountants and medical doctors. Common business cards, however, come in multiple ranges.
Generally, business cards are printed on raw stock of 350 g/m2 density, 45 kg or 100 lb weight, and 12 pt thickness. Any number of combinations is possible in printing, with single-side/double-side on glossy/matt paper using one-color, two-color and full color (four-color) process. Then there are embossed (raised print) cards and plastic coated cards. Depending on locations, there are variations in sizes and formats as well, with or without rounded corners. In addition, business cards come in a variety of materials, including plastics, rubber, metals and even real wood.
