1. Materials for making business cards:
The information to be printed on the business card includes: company LGOO, name, position, telephone number, contact address, instant messaging number, email address, company website, etc. You can also put the product information of the company on it. There are many kinds of business cards, the most common one is bilingual version. Such a business card needs basically complete relevant information. If you want to print more personalized information, you can also consider it yourself.
2. Introduction of business card design software:
Business card software: There are many ways to design business cards, which are generally realized by designing software. Commonly used softwares are CorelDRAW (CD or CDR) and Illustrator (AI). PHOTOSHOP (PS) is commonly used. These softwares are easy to learn, and the files designed with these softwares can basically be used for printing, and there will be no mistakes because of software conversion. Both CD and AI software belong to vector editing software, which is the best choice in design. Their vector expression effect can make the text not appear jagged in the printing process, the edges of the graphics are clear, and the text is easy to edit. There is also the use of WORD for design, but the design is limited to the function of WORD, and it is difficult to show a more ideal effect. You can design a sketch and send it to us, and we will finish the rest of the beautification.
Size of business card design: There are many kinds of "business card design sizes", the most common of which are the standard sizes of 90*54 and 90*50. Most domestic business card printers provide printing standards of this size, as well as the size of 90*55, but few printing companies provide this service, so it is best not to choose. When many foreign friends come to print, the sizes are 85*50 and 85*54. These two sizes are more individual. 85*50 is more exquisite, 85*54 is more atmospheric, which may be more conspicuous in many normal sizes. In addition, the general size of "folding card design business card" is within 90* 108 or 180*54. We printed the size of 378*54 for our customers, which is quite personalized.
Layout of business card design: layout and production of design. What needs to be mentioned here is the company LOGO (trademark), which is the essence of the company. The overall design should be expressed around the company LOGO, including standard colors and standard characters. Many companies have designed their own VIS (Corporate Visual Identification), the most important of which is the design and implementation around logo. You can also choose a picture to put in your business card, or you can choose a beautiful shading (you can choose a light-colored picture of LOGO as the shading). With regard to "portrait business cards", many companies now print their photos on their business cards. You can try to choose.
Business card color: Color (hue, lightness and chroma collocation) is a complex intuitive language. Designing personalized tones is very important for business cards.
3. Business card paper:
Four-color business cards-that is, business cards printed in color-are commonly used papers, such as coated paper and white cardboard. With the intervention of large-scale printing presses, it is difficult to make business cards no longer appear. It was difficult to print four-color business cards a few years ago, but now it has become very simple. The standing paper we provide, including coated paper and woven paper, can also be solved by digital printing.
Spot color business cards-that is, business cards printed by famous machines, now more companies choose PANTONE color to represent business cards, so printing needs to adjust the ink color. This type of business card has many advantages in paper selection. There are hundreds of kinds of paper to choose from, which can better highlight your business card personality.
4, business card production process:
From the printing mode, it can be divided into: offset printing business cards, four-color business cards (color offset printing business cards), digital printing business cards, metal business cards, PVC card business cards and so on. There are also some services that provide printing business cards, but we don't recommend this method.
From the production process, it can be divided into: bronzing business cards (commonly: gold, sub-gold, red gold and blue gold), embossed business cards (two quick editions roll up the parts that you want to highlight), drum-shaped business cards (printed business cards are heated with resin to highlight the parts that you want to highlight), shaped business cards (die-cut into the desired shape is also called blanking), folded business cards (folding can display more information) and so on.
5. Business card production companies print business cards
Find a business card production company to print business cards. Is it "production" or "design"? If it is production, it is technical work. If it is "design", you can download the template or design it yourself. Design needs to design software, because it needs to be printed, so vector graphics tools such as ai and cdr are used. For example, I'm from Wuhan, and cdr is used more here. For example, in some coastal cities, ai is used more. After mastering the use of the tool, create a rectangle the size of a business card (of course, there should be bleeding), then put the elements to be printed into the rectangle, and you can arrange the printed version. Note that the color should be changed to cmyk mode, so that at least in the end, the color separation should be printed as a finished product.
