Business Card Design in Durham
Cards for Durham businesses that survive being handed over — readable type, finishes that suit the stock, and artwork supplied to the printer's specification so the trim does not cut through anything that matters. Still the thing people keep after a meeting.
Why this comes up
The problem
Cards get designed at screen size and printed at business card size, so the phone number ends up too small to read and the logo sits too close to the trim to survive cutting.
What you get
What we deliver
- Design at proper print size, with type checked at actual scale rather than zoomed in
- Bleed, trim and safe margins set so nothing critical sits near the cut
- Stock and finish recommended against use — spot UV, matt lamination, or plain uncoated
- Double-sided layouts where the reverse earns its place rather than repeating the front
- Print-ready PDF supplied to your printer's exact specification
- Variants for each person, so one file does not need editing per staff member

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Business Card Design in Durham — common questions
- Are business cards still worth it?
- In trades, hospitality and professional services, yes — they get kept and pinned up in ways a digital contact does not. In purely online businesses they are close to ceremonial. It depends entirely on whether you meet people.
- What finish should we choose?
- Matt lamination is durable and reads as considered. Uncoated stock takes handwriting, which matters if people note things on your card. Gloss shows fingerprints. Spot UV looks excellent and costs more — worth it on a card people are meant to keep.
- Can you arrange printing?
- We can, or supply artwork to your printer. If you already use one, keeping that relationship usually costs less than routing it through us.
- How many should we order?
- Fewer than you think, and reprint. Details change, people leave, and a box of two thousand cards with an old mobile number on them is a very common sight in a stationery cupboard.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
