What to put on a business card

By Theyvora · 2026-09-23 · 3 min read

A business card has one job: make it effortless for someone to remember and reach you. Keep it to the essentials — name, role, company, one or two contact methods — and let clean design do the rest. Add a QR code and it doubles as a digital card.

The essentials

• Name and role — big enough to read at a glance.
• Company and logo — your brand, front and centre.
• One or two ways to reach you — usually phone and email, or a website.
• A QR code — link it to your digital card so they can save you with one tap.

What to leave off

• Every social handle you own — pick the one that matters.
• Tiny 6pt text crammed edge to edge.
• A second job title or a paragraph about your services.

Design tips

• Lots of white space; one accent colour.
• Readable type — no thin light-grey text on white.
• Consistent with your other branding (letterhead, invoices).
