Corporate Business Cards
Short answer
A corporate business card is built on a single template where design, colours and layout stay identical across the company, while name, job title and contact details change per employee. Digital printing allows every variant to be printed in one run.
When a company has five or fifty employees, the business card stops being a one-off design job and becomes a system. You need a template that survives every job title (from a short 'Director' to a long 'Senior Business Development Manager'), accommodates a bilingual version, and does not have to be rebuilt when a new hire arrives. This page describes how we build that system at Craftarea and what to settle before the first run.

A template that survives every job title
The real test of a corporate template is whether it survives the longest job title and the longest name in the company. If the template was designed around 'Director' and 'Senior Business Development Manager' arrives later, the text must either shrink (creating visual inconsistency) or wrap onto two lines (breaking the layout). So we test the template against the longest variant from the start. The same applies to bilingual versions: Georgian text usually runs longer than Latin, so the field must accommodate both.
- Template tested against the longest job title
- Two-line wrapping planned for in advance
- Georgian and English versions in one field
- Consistent layout across every card
One run, several employees
This is exactly where digital printing wins on corporate orders: a single run can carry cards for ten different employees, each with their own details. In offset printing this would be expensive, since every variant needs its own plate. All we need is a spreadsheet — name, job title, phone, email for each person — and we drop each set into the template. Finished cards are packed separately and labelled by name.
Repeat orders and new hires
We keep the template, so adding a new employee later is far simpler: send their details and the card prints in the same design. This is the most practical part of a corporate order — a system designed once keeps working for years, and every new card is automatically consistent with the rest. If the company changes its brand book, the template is updated accordingly, but that is a separate piece of work.
