It's definitely a good idea to include your logo on your business card—just make sure that the logo on your card aligns with your company's branding guidelines. For instance, if your logo is normally blue and green, you wouldn't want to put a different color logo on your card.

If you're using a template, you'll need to choose a template that doesn't automatically update the rest of the cards. If you're creating a card from scratch using a table, you can make each cell a different card.

You'll need to copy or download the online photo. Then, in Microsoft Word, go to Insert > Picture to add a photo to the business card.

You can make a single card by following the table method above and only filling in one cell. Make sure the table is formatted with the standard business card measurement.

Can I have information printed on the back of the card? How do I do that?

You can put the paper back in the printer and print on the other side, just make sure the paper is facing up (with the already printed side facing the ceiling).

Question

How do I make a double sided business card in MS Word?

Community Answer

1) If your printer supports it, make a second page the exact same, minus your back detail and especially in the centre, so it aligns. When you print, it has an option for single or double sided and choose double. 2) Make a second Word document for the back side and when you print your sheet, put it back in the printer flipped over so and print the back side document.
