Business cards in Cluj-Napoca

The finished format is 85×55 mm, but the file sent to print needs 2 mm of bleed on every edge, so the cutting blade does not leave a white line if the position shifts by a fraction of a millimetre. Inside the card we keep a safety margin of at least 3 mm from the final edge, where we avoid placing text or logos, because anything glued to the edge risks being cut off.

A card read in three seconds needs a clear hierarchy: usually the person's name is the strongest element on the front, followed by the role, then the company name and grouped contact details. The back usually carries a larger logo, a short line, or company details if the front is dedicated entirely to the person. The issue we see often is the order reversed, a tiny name, a huge logo, a phone number set in the same size as the website address, so the eye does not know where to land first.

Text that looks fine enlarged on a laptop screen can become unreadable at a real 85×55 mm, especially with several roles or several phone numbers on one card. We recommend a minimum of 7–8 point type for secondary text and strong contrast between text and background; light text on a pale background or thin type on a textured background is hard to read even at normal reading distance.

Your logo should reach us as a vector file, AI, EPS, or a PDF built from vector art, because at 85×55 mm any small raster logo looks blurred or pixelated as soon as it is scaled up for centring. If you only have a raster version, for example a JPG saved from a website, we check the actual file size against print resolution before confirming the order, since a small image stretched across the card loses edge clarity.

The most expensive mistake on a business card is not a design one, it is a wrong digit in a phone number, a domain spelled with an extra letter, or a wrong postcode. Because such an error is easy to miss on a quick read, we check each string of digits in the file separately, phone, registration number if present, address, and ask you to confirm these details before we send the file to cutting.

If you add a QR code to a website, a social profile, or a digital contact card, test it with a phone from a proof at actual size before submitting the file. A QR code that is too small, placed too close to the edge, or with weak contrast between the pattern and the background may not scan at all once printed on card, even if it looks correct on screen.

The standard business card is printed on 300 g/m² card, in colour on both sides. If you prefer a paper from our premium range, with different textures for stationery, we have a dedicated page for business cards and invitations on Fuego paper, where the available options are shown clearly. Choose the paper option before sending the final file, since small text may need different adjustments depending on the surface.
