Design Assistance

Business cards are available in a staggering variety of colors, fonts and designs.  They may be quite simple, or may be elegant, subtle or forceful.  For professional design assistance, call us or visit our store.

Beginning in the days when visiting gentlemen instructed haughty butlers to “take in my card,” the visiting card, personal card, or business card has become an indispensable tool for establishing a business identity.  Very often, a business card is the only tangible reminder of our first meeting with a new business associate.  It helps shape our memory of a first contact, and can reinforce a good first impression.

Business Card Variety

The first business cards were written or printed in black ink on good quality paper.  Like those first cards, the simplest, least expensive business card we sell today is still printed in black ink on one side of a good 80 lb card stock.  Black and white business cards still work today, especially if they are elegantly designed and scripted.   However, because every detail is important in a business, a veritable arms race of competition has sprung up, creating a wide variety of business card colors, styles and effects.    The quickest way to sort through all the options is to call us right now at (816) 459-7552 and talk over what you need.
