Free Business Card Templates

Free business card templates can be a blessing to the small business person. Sometimes you just need to get a business card out. You have an upcoming conference, or a meet and greet at the Chamber of Commerce, and you need something to take with you to hand out.

Maybe you are just getting started and don't have the budget for a pro designer and offset printing. You have a perfectly good inkjet printer right next to your computer. Free business card templates can help you put together a decent looking business card without a huge expense.

Trust me, even though I write about everything I see wrong with business cards, and printed marketing in general, I understand the world of the startup. Tight budgets, heck, no budgets, but you have a dream, and an awesome idea to get started. You can't get caught up in trying to get things perfect, you need a business card, and stationary, that will get you off the ground.

Here is a list of a few free business card templates web sites you can look at to get started. Watch out for terms of use, and watermarks that say "SAMPLE" that will keep you from being able to use the template commercially.

www.free-business-card-templates.com : The name is self explanatory. This site provides a few easy to use images that you can use as the background for your business card. The resolution is high enough that you can use these images in offset printing if you ever want to.

www.businesscardland.com/home/free-templates.html : If you are handy with Photoshop or Illustrator, you can use these free business card templates as a starting point for a layout.

www.templates4cards.com/templates.php?page=1 : This site provides free business card templates as Photoshop files or TIFF images. TIFF images can be placed in just about any software on the market today, and you can type your personalized information over the top.

I will be posting some of my own free business card templates on this site soon. I am hoping to make a habit of providing at least one template each week for you to download and use for your business. These templates will be truly free with no watermarks or restrictions on use. If you want to blow it up and wrap your car with it, that's fine with me :)
