Know Your Goal

Before doing anything, it pays to brainstorm ideas and visualise the outcome you want to achieve. You have to remember that anything you put on the card is a reflection of your business.

Choose Your Desired Template

Aside from choosing the best design that fits your bakery business, consider the materials you prefer. Would you prefer standard matte, royal extra white or vintage kraft? These are some vital details you need to ponder.

Customise the Elements

Start customising your card and add a personal touch to make it unique. Do not overdo the design because it represents your company's value and personality. The goal is to inform your potential customers who you are, what business you do and where to contact you.

Pick the appropriate colour scheme that resembles your business and a font that is readable. Keep it neat, simple, and personalised.

Review and Finalise

Once you are done customising and incorporating one element into another, review your work. This is to avoid any errors once you decide to print it out. Every element matters, so declutter any unnecessary elements.

Fill that limited space with crucial information that would be helpful to boost your bakery business and brand presence.
