One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is: “What information should I include on my business card?”

The answer varies depending on individual needs, but we’ve compiled a checklist of essential details to help ensure your business card includes all the important elements.

Essential Business Card Information

  • Company Name (and/or logo)
  • Company Tagline
  • Your Full Name
  • Your Qualifications (if applicable)
  • Position at the Company
  • Telephone Number (Office and Mobile)
  • Fax Number (if needed)
  • Email Address
  • Other Contact Methods (Skype, BBM PIN, WhatsApp, etc.)
  • Website
  • Company Registration Number
  • Company Directors (if required)
  • Social Media Links (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.)
  • QR Code (for easy contact access)
  • Company Physical Address (and/or GPS coordinates)
  • Postal Address
  • Services/Products You Offer

This list serves as a guideline and may not include every possible element. Some industries may have specific requirements for business cards.

Minimalist vs. Informative Design

Some professionals prefer a minimalist approach, while others include more details. Regardless of design choice, ensure that at least one or two contact methods are present so potential clients can reach you easily.

To achieve the best layout, consider using a business card template that suits your needs.
