Designers often wonder why they have difficulty creating original business card designs. Yet if you think about it, there’s an obvious answer to this question. Almost 30 million business cards get printed every single week—that’s 1.5 billion cards a year—so it’s easy to understand why any particular design has a hard time standing out in that kind of crowd.

The fact is, a lot of business cards have crummy designs. No one wants to hold on to something that looks and feels cheap—at least, not for very long. And that means the person whose name is on that card isn’t getting their money’s worth.

But as a designer, you have the power to create an exceptionally unique business card that recipients will hold onto for months (or even years!) Of course, most cards look so much alike, it’s easy to get stuck in a creative rut. You’ll need to break out of the box, which is why we’ve made this step-by-step guide to help you design the perfect business card.
