If you want to quickly create business cards without the need for fancy design software, Microsoft Word with the necessary tools will help you create and print your own business cards. You can use ready-made templates to make the design process easier but still keep it personal, or you can create a business card entirely from scratch. If you are creating your own business card, the table feature will allow you to size the business card properly.
Steps
Use existing templates

Click the “File” bar and select “New”. You will create a new document from a business card template.
Tip: With these built-in templates, you can quickly create multiple professional business cards at once.

Look for business card templates. Use the search field in the create new document window to search for “business cards”. A series of free templates will appear for you to choose from. Business cards come in two types, either horizontal or vertical.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/aa/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/aa/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-3-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select a template that you want to use. You can change any elements of the template you like, including colors, images, fonts, and layout. Choose the template that best suits the message you want to convey in the business card. Click the “Create” or “Download” button to open the template in Word. [1] X Research Source

Fill in the fields on the first business card. If you’re using Office 2010 or later (and the available template is designed for 2010 or later), you’ll see your text appear on all business cards on the page. This way, you only need to fill in the information for a business card. If the existing template is not designed to automatically update to successive business cards, you must enter the data for each card manually.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bd/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-5-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-5-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bd/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-5-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-5-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Change the format of any element. You can select and change the format of any text on the business card. You can convert fonts, colors and sizes, and so on, just like regular texts.
- Since this is a business card, you should choose a font that is easy to read.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/39/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-6-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-6-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/39/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-6-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-6-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Change logo (if necessary). If the business card template has a logo, you can click to replace it with your own logo. Make sure your logo portion size is adjusted appropriately and proportionately.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c1/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-7-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-7-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c1/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-7-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-7-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Review your business card. Make sure your business card is free of typos or other errors. Business cards are one of the first ways to impress people, so you don’t want to make a mistake right from the start.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f8/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-8-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-8-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f8/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-8-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-8-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Print the business card in the archive or transfer the file to the printer. If you’re going to print business cards at home, you’ll need high-quality paper. Limit the use of off-white or off-white colors and opt for overlays. Most business cards don’t have a coating, however some people prefer a business card with a glossy finish. Many print shops will open saved business card templates and print them for you.
- When buying paper, be sure your home printer can handle it. Check the printer’s documentation or support page for details about the paper type the machine supports.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ed/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ed/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-9-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a sharp cutting tool to complete the business card. After printing is complete, you need to cut into separate business cards. Each sheet of paper will usually have ten business cards on it. Do not use scissors or other cutting methods that force you to maintain a straight line. Use a high-precision paper trimmer or cutter instead. Many print shops have these kits available to customers or they can cut for you.
Tip: The standard Vietnamese business card size is usually 9 x 5.5 cm or 8.8 x 5.3 cm. Meanwhile, the standard US business card size is usually 8.9 x 5 cm (5 x 8.9 cm vertically).
Create a business card with a board

Create a new blank document. If you want to create your own business cards, using the spreadsheet tool will be easier for you.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e7/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-11-Version-6.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-11-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-11-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-11-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the “Page Layout” tab and click the “Margins” button. Select “Narrow” to shrink the margins a bit more than the default setting. Your business card will fit the page better.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/49/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/49/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the “Insert” tab and then click the “Table” button. A grid of columns and rows will appear below the Table button.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/28/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/28/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Create a 2 x 5 table. Use grid cells to insert a table with two columns and five rows.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/54/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Right-click the table’s selection crosshair and select “Table Properties”. The Table Properties window will open. A selection cross will appear in the upper left corner of the table when you hover over it.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/44/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-15-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-15-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/44/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-15-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-15-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Set Center mode for table alignment. This will make it easier to create business cards.

Click the “Row” tab and check the “Specify height” box. Type 5.5 and change the dropdown to “Exactly”.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/43/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-17-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-17-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/43/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-17-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-17-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the “Columns” tab (Cpumn) and check the “Specify width” box. Enter 9 and change the drop-down to your preferred measurement, such as “cm”.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a7/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-18-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a7/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-18-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-18-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check the table. Now on your page there will be a table split into ten identical business card sized cells. If the table doesn’t fit the page, you’ll have to extend the bottom margin by a few centimeters.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/89/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-19-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-19-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/89/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-19-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-19-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Right-click the crosshair again and select AutoFit. Select “Fixed cpumn width”. This will prevent the table’s shape from changing when you add information to the first cell.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c1/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-20-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-20-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c1/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-20-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-20-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add information to the first box. You can use all the usual Word formatting tools when entering information into cells. You can insert text boxes as well as images, change fonts, add colors or do any other formatting you want.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/86/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-21-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-21-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/86/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-21-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-21-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Review your business card. Before copying information into each other cell, take the time to check for errors or typos. If you revise it later, you will have to modify each cell instead of just the first cell before copying.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c9/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-22-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-22-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-22-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-22-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select the entire first cell when you feel satisfied. You can do this quickly by moving the pointer to the bottom left corner of the cell until it turns into a diagonal arrow. Click and the contents of the cell will be selected. Copy the contents of the cell to the clipboard.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/24/Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-23-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px- Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-23-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/24/Make-Business- Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-23-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Business-Cards-in-Microsoft-Word-Step-23-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place the screen cursor in the next cell and paste the copied information. You can click “Paste” in the Home tab, or you can press Ctrl + V . The copied information will appear in the correct place in the cell. Repeat this for each cell on the page.

Right-click the crosshair again and select “Table Properties”. Click the “Borders and Shading” button and select “None” for the border. This means that cell borders will not appear when cutting a business card.

Find good paper for business cards. You need a quality paper to print your new business card. Make sure the printer supports the type of paper you own. You can also send the finished file to a print shop for a more professional looking business card.

Use a precision cutting tool. Avoid using scissors or other cutting tools that force you to maintain a straight line. Use specialized paper cutting tools to make sure cuts are measured evenly and accurately. The standard Vietnamese business card size is usually 9 x 5.5 cm or 8.8 x 5.3 cm. The standard US business card size is usually 8.9 x 5 cm (5 x 8.9 cm vertically).
