Card design is the name given to the combined features of the 
printed cards. Cards are useful only when all cards contain the 
required information.

Card design includes:

•  The different types of data such 

as name and ID number, images 
including company logo or 
employee or other photos, and 
special features such as bar code 
or magnetic stripe. 

•  The layout of the data.
•  Processes to improve card life 

such as topcoat.

•  Corporate style guidelines. For example, a corporate style guide can specify a 

particular shade of red for the logo.

This section describes the card design components available and provides 
detailed information about them.

•  An organization might have more than one card design. For example, a health 

club can use member cards and employee ID cards.

•  Print several samples of your card design and use them to evaluate the quality 

of the design.

•  Use high quality (300dpi) photos and graphics.
