Are you aware that custom business cards require a certain look to be effective and successful? When you print business cards, this aspect or style for business cards is crucial to communicate your own personal business image across successfully. In this guide, I will teach you five common styles for custom business cards so that you can achieve that perfect look in its design.

1.      The professional look – The first kind of look is the “professional look”. This kind of style is characterized by the use of contemporary popular designs for business cards. From modern minimalist to neo-classic styles, the professional look is used for business cards that need to look new, fresh and hip. Sometimes, you can even put in design elements that are very specific for a certain industry or field. For example, graphic artists can have a very artful and detailed business card while others can display shapes and logos that are related to their fields. As long as it looks like it carries with it a certain job or profession, this can be considered the professional look.

2.      The executive look – Now, on the more expensive side as well as the more formal one, we have the executive look. The executive style is marked by a more formal and simple style which is both elegant and respectable. Fancy metallic or glittering inks may also be used to convey the expensiveness of the business cards adding to its impact and respectability. Executive business cards are never too detailed or too arty unlike the previous style above. It is just a simple and functional look that aims to impress people with simplicity, respectability and subtle elegance.

3.      The honest and functional look - Next, if you strip down the executive look and make it look cheaper, it would probably look like the “functional” or “honest” business style of business card printing. These type of business cards are those no nonsense business cards that have been printed to be given away and function efficiently as a way to establish business contacts. Simple as that.

4.      The marketing style – Beyond simple business cards though, you can also try to print business cards with a marketing style. Marketing style business cards typically appear like a small brochure or flier itself. It can have an extra flap where the extra marketing message can be printed along with some pictures. This kind of business card is perfect especially for salesmen and other marketers who constantly need to meet people and advertise their products.

5.      The company banner – Finally we have the “company” style business card. These are the cards that look so proud for their company. It typically has the same color theme as the logo of its company, and will definitely include contact numbers for the company itself. Business cards like this are useful especially if you represent your company everyday to a myriad number of business contacts. It is not very personal, but at least it gives the company a good reputation.

So those are the common styles for business card looks. What do you want to choose? Depending on the goals of your business cards, you might want to consider just one of these styles to increase your effectiveness.
