A business card that lists a phone number, an email, a website, a tagline, and three social handles on one 3.5 x 2 inch card usually ends up unreadable. The cards that actually get kept are the ones that made a choice about what mattered most and left everything else off.
Our business card design service starts with that editing conversation before any layout work begins — what’s the one thing you want someone to do after they pocket this card? Call you? Visit a specific landing page? Scan a QR code to a portfolio? The card gets designed around that single action instead of trying to cram in every possible contact method.
At minimum: name, title, one phone number, one email, and either a website or a single social handle — not all three. A QR code on the back linking to a portfolio, booking page, or Instagram is often more useful than trying to fit a second physical detail on the front, since it can point somewhere richer than a card ever could.
We handle the design and print-ready file preparation — the printing itself happens through your chosen print shop or an online printer like Vistaprint or a local print vendor, since paper stock, finish (matte, glossy, textured), and turnaround time vary by provider and by what you’re willing to spend on the physical card. We’ll build the file to whatever specs your chosen printer requires.
The design file is only half the finished card — paper weight and finish change how it actually feels in someone’s hand. A thicker cardstock (around 16pt or higher) reads as more premium than a standard thin stock, and a matte or soft-touch finish tends to feel more modern than a glossy one, though gloss can make certain colors pop more. We’ll design with your intended stock and finish in mind if you already know your printer’s options, since ink coverage and small text can render slightly differently depending on the finish chosen.
A card handed over at a conference table gets a longer look than one exchanged in a quick hallway introduction at a networking event. For businesses that do a lot of fast-paced, high-volume networking, we lean the design toward something scannable in a couple of seconds — bold name, clear title, one obvious next step. For businesses in more relationship-driven, longer-conversation industries, there’s more room for a design that rewards a closer look.

Some industries have genuinely moved toward sharing contact info digitally — a QR code, a saved contact, a LinkedIn connection made on the spot. Physical cards still earn their place in a lot of in-person, relationship-driven business, and a card left behind on a desk has a kind of staying power a digital contact swap doesn’t. We’ll usually recommend having both a physical card and a simple digital version, rather than betting entirely on one or the other.
3.5 x 2 inches is standard. Square and slightly oversized "mini" cards exist too, but they may not fit standard card holders and wallets, which is worth considering before going nonstandard.
Name, title, one phone number, one email, and either a website or a single social handle — a QR code on the back can cover anything else without cluttering the front.
We deliver print-ready files built to your printer's exact specifications; the printing itself goes through your chosen print vendor, whether that's local or online.
No — WebSnarks only takes on US-based clients, so every card defaults to standard American dimensions and works with the US print vendors — Vistaprint, Moo, or a local shop — that most of our clients already use.
