Professional Business Cards by Formara

First impressions matter. Your business card is often the first physical touchpoint someone has with your brand, and it needs to feel intentional, confident and high quality.

We produce professionally printed business cards that reflect who you are and what you stand for. From clean, minimalist designs to premium finishes that stand out in the hand, our business cards are designed to be kept, not forgotten.

Whether you need a short run for a new starter or large quantities for a growing team, we deliver consistent quality, fast turnaround and expert guidance from start to finish.

Landscape Business Cards

Landscape business cards are the most familiar and widely used format, making them easy to read and instantly recognisable. They work seamlessly with traditional layouts, allowing logos, names and contact details to flow naturally across the card. This format fits comfortably into wallets and card holders, making it a practical and professional choice for everyday use across sales, networking and corporate environments.

Portrait Business Cards

Portrait business cards offer a modern alternative to the standard layout while still feeling polished and professional. The vertical orientation suits brands that want to present their information in a more design-led way, particularly where logos or typography work better stacked rather than spread horizontally. This format is ideal for businesses looking to stand out subtly without feeling unconventional.

Square Business Cards

Square business cards create immediate visual impact through their distinctive shape, helping your brand feel memorable from the moment it is handed over. They are often chosen by creative and premium brands that want to break away from traditional formats while maintaining a high-quality, considered feel. When paired with the right stock and finish, square cards feel intentional, tactile and confidently different.
