As of 13 August 2026, AI can create a business card design.

What to actually do

1. Use a tool built for this

   The route this page recommends

2. Do it yourself

   Second choice

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a chatbot or AI design tool and gather your current logo, brand guidelines, approved colours, website, phone number, email address, name, job title and any address or service-area wording.
   2. Paste the prompt and replace every bracketed slot with your business information, leaving a slot blank where the information does not belong on the card.
   3. Attach the logo and any existing brand assets, then ask the tool to produce the three design directions and the exact front and back copy.
   4. Choose the direction that matches your existing website and other customer-facing materials, then ask for a revised layout using that direction and no new wording.
   5. Compare every name, phone number, email address, URL and service description against your source documents, and check the proposed colours and type at the intended card size.
   6. Transfer the approved layout into a design or printing tool, request the printer's required file format and bleed settings, and inspect the digital proof before ordering.

   Prompt

   Create a professional two-sided business card design for my UK business using the information below.
   
   Business name: [business name]
   Name and job title: [name and title]
   Phone: [phone number]
   Email: [email address]
   Website: [website]
   Address or service area, if needed: [address or area]
   Tagline, if already approved: [tagline or leave blank]
   What the business does: [short description]
   Target customers: [customer type]
   Brand colours: [colours or leave blank]
   Preferred style: [style, such as restrained, friendly, technical or premium]
   Logo and brand assets: [attach files or describe them]
   
   Use only the facts and wording supplied. Do not invent contact details, claims, qualifications or services. Keep the design legible at business-card size, use British English, and make the most important contact method obvious. Propose a clear front and back layout, including the exact text that should appear on each side, colour and type choices, spacing guidance, and three distinct design directions. Mark any missing information as a question rather than guessing. Include a final checklist covering spelling, contact details, safe margins, contrast, image quality and what must be confirmed with the printer. If you can produce a visual mock-up, label it as a concept rather than a print-ready file.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

3. Hand it to a person

   The distant third

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.
