Designing a business card
When designing your business card, think informally and clearly. The main purpose of a business card is to provide information about oneself or one’s business. Therefore, it is relevant to have a logo, company name and personal name.
In order to be able to reach you as a business card holder, it is essential to have contact information such as email address and telephone number, even if there is a switchboard number for the company so that you can get hold of someone if the business card holder does not answer.
A tip is to make the design of the business card simple with a clear font so that it is easy and informal to read. It is also important that the business card looks interesting, this you can get through colors. The important thing about colors and fonts is that it is consistent with what the company stands for so that it does not get messy.

The history of the business card
The use of Business Cards can be traced back to ancient China, but within Europe they seem to have originated in the 16th century. However, it became most common in Europe during the 17th century.
In the past, the business card was used on five different occasions. During visits, during courtship, for shorter messages, for identification of gifts or documents and marking of place or luggage.
The use of business cards occurred in the upper and middle classes in Western culture in the 20th century. At this time, the rules on how to hand over a business card were complicated. Gentlemen were allowed to send two business cards, one to the gentleman and one to the wife of the other family. Ladies, on the other hand, were only allowed to hand over to the wife of the other family. There was a golden rule that a married lady should never hand over her business card to a gentleman.
If you wanted to say something in person through a business card, you would fold the card in one of the corners. The corners of the business card would be folded in different ways depending on the meaning you wanted to convey.
The use of business cards as was done in the past is less common today. Nowadays, business cards are used by employees in companies and organizations.
