Business Card is Simply a Must for Every Business.
It is very important aspect of your marketing plan, especially if you just starting out. It gives you a chance to make a great impression. A powerful and well designed business card can effectively promote your business. There's a good chance that if the look and quality of your card is poor or unprofessional, it may be thrown into the trash. The great majority of business cards out there leave no real impression and soon become a faint memory. Leave someone with a business card that looks great, feels great and clearly defines what your business does - and you and your card won't soon be forgotten.
Don't skimp on money when it comes to your business cards.
You want to have good stock paper, print that doesn't bleed from a drop of water, and the card should feel substantial and pleasing to the touch. We offer all of that, even for our free business cards.
A poor quality business card implies a business that will have poor quality products and services. Rather than attracting business, this type of business card would most likely repel prospective customers.
Tips for planning out your business cards:
-
Don’t make your potential customers guess what you do – clearly state what your business does or sells. Nobody likes to use a magnifying glass to find information that they look for.
-
Your contact information should always be visible and easy to decipher. Make your design appealing, but don’t don’t go overboard with fancy fonts and wild colours. Simple and professional will do the trick.
-
Too much text looks busy and terribly unprofessional: only the most important information should be place on business card. This is not the place to list all of your 50 or 100 products/services. Use a flyer or a post card instead.
We realize that not just the timeliness, but also the quality of the product our clients receive will benefit their business both short and long term. We understand the difference this makes; over the long term everyone benefits by positively standing out. Our free business cards are done with the same commitement to quality as our “regular” print jobs.

Guidelines to produce high quality artwork for Business Cards, Flyers, Postcards, Brochures and Presentation Folders:
Adobe Illustrator
Save file as an EPS format, images should be embedded, and fonts should be converted to outlines.
Adobe Photoshop
Your work should have layers flattened and save as .tif documents. Please make sure your document is in CMYK colour and at a resolution of 300dpi.
PDF Format
Files must be saved as a postscript file from your native program first, then "distilled" using Acrobat Distiller using PRESS setting.
All 14pt Free Business Cards Jobs must be in one of these file formats for quick turnaround time: .eps, .tiff, .pdf, .ai, .psd, .jpg. All .tif, .psd and .jpg must be a minimum of 300dpi (600 is recommended) and in CMYK colour mode.
PLEASE DO NOT ADD CROP MARKS
Fonts
All fonts used must be supplied. Both printer and screen fonts must be included. Postscript fonts yield industry standard results. Alternatively all fonts can be converted to outlines. Fonts on business cards should not be smaller than 6pt.
Scanning
All scanned images should be of a professional standard. Scanned images need to be saved at an appropriate resolution of 300 dpi for continuous tone reproduction (photos and/or illustrations). Photos or scans should always be saved as CMYK and saved in .tif format.
Bleed:
When we quote a print size it is for that specific image area. Please make bleeds inward (at least .25") unless other wise specified. If you are bleeding outward please include the bleed when requesting quote.
Colours:
All colours in your document must be CMYK. If you use spot colours in your business card, flyer or post card design please convert them to CMYK before saving. (Duotone Images Must Also be converted). Colour is printed to IcanPrint Standards i.e. pleasing colour. Exact colour match is not guaranteed and nearly impossible on gang runs. Critical colours requires a colour key or match print. Colour laser copies or other proofs are not considered accurate prepress proofs.
Optimum Colour Output:
For a rich black to be used in backgrounds & large areas, you can not use 100K and expect to get rich black, you will get a grayish black instead. Use: 40Cyan / 30Magenta / 0Yellow / 100Black (K) Exception To This Rule Is Type: for written type use ONLY 100K (Black) 0 C M Y because it is too difficult to perfectly register small type and the result would be blurry looking type.
For Blue:
Do Not use too much magenta or you may receive a purple colour. Even if your card came out blue before it may become purple next time. Use: 100C (Cyan) 60M (Magenta) and to make it darker ADD Black to a MAXIMUM of 40K
For Purple:
Do not use too much cyan or you may receive a blue colour. Even if your business card came out purple before it may become blue next time. Use: 60C (Cyan) 100M (Magenta) and to make it darker ADD Black to a MAXIMUM of 40K.
