The Online Business Card Maker



By now you should have realized the importance of having a business card (calling card) with you wherever you go. You’ll never know when an opportunity will be knocking at your door, so be ready always. A couple of years back, we normally went to a printing shop and had our business cards printed; but with the advent of the Internet, creating your own business card is just a breeze. You can even do it online with BusinessCardLand.com

Designing a business card is your choice but BusinessCardLand.com will provide you with some choices. The rule of thumb in creating a business card is to have a card that can speak for itself.

BusinessCardLand.com was created as an easy way for people to design decent looking cards without any additional software, or any particular skills. Currently, the site offers the free Businesscard Maker and the free Gift Tag Maker, and will offer more resources soon; including full stationary template sets and tutorials.

To get started making your printable business cards:

1. Pick your style by browsing through the styles to the left under the create business cards link to see thumbnails of all the styles.

2. Choose the "full bleed" (image prints to the edge of card, 8 cards per page) or "no bleed" (white between cards, 10 cards per page) version of the style you have selected. Click here for examples of business card papers that work with our Business Card Maker.

3. Enter your information, checking only the boxes of items you wish to include.

4. Choose two colors and one background color.

5. Make your PDF by choosing single or multiple cards per page, cutting guides or not, and selecting "Make PDF."

You can print them yourself on an inkjet printer, using pre-cut Avery Business card paper or on your own paper using our cutting guides. Once you’re done designing your card, simply click the "Make PDF" button, and a PDF document will be created of your printable business cards. Unlike other free business card software, our Business Card Maker allows you to create business cards online, and therefore works with both a Mac and a PC.

BusinessCardLand.com also offers a selection of pre-press ready free business card templates in Illustrator or Photoshop format which you can download in single card layout for submission to commercial printers, or multi-card layouts that are great for printing yourself. The free business card templates are a base to start designing cards from scratch. In addition to the free business card templates, the site will soon offer improvements on the online free business card software that allows users to upload a logo or image.

Have fun!
