 Business Card Translation
Options To Consider
We can accommodate special requests and/or any client preference for translated business cards. Our goal is to ensure that the business cards you receive meet your exact specifications. Thus, there are a few client-based options one should consider when translating/localizing business cards:
- Translate the company name?
To preserve consistency among all marketing material, most clients prefer that their company name remains in English, even on translated business cards. Please advise on your preference.
- Translate the mailing address?
Most clients keep their US-based mailing address in English, even on translated business cards; primarily, because this address must be in English for their foreign audience to properly address mailings to the US, etc. Please advise on your preference.
- Does your business card have a tag line?
Some business cards have tag lines included in English. Most clients prefer that tag lines remain in English, even for translated cards. Please advise on your preference.
- Toll-free telephone numbers?
Many toll-free numbers (such as "800 numbers") do not work overseas, or they are not toll-free. Most clients choose to omit these numbers entirely and replace them with a standard US-based phone line. Another option is to translate a special note which explains that these numbers are only toll-free from America. (Note: Depending on the card's layout, it is not always advisable to include the toll-free explanation as it will seriously distort the card's layout.)
- Already have a specific translated name?
Again, our goal is to work with you and ensure that each card meets your exact specifications. For example, if you have a Japanese-American name, and would like to provide the exact kanji characters on your business card, we can include this. You can always fax us any specific characters to use on your business cards.
 For the Final Files, What Options Do I Have?
We can supply you with two final deliverable options:
- A Press-Ready PDF or EPS file
(Multilingual fonts converted to vector-based paths [graphic], "reassembled" and perfectly positioned into your original QuarkXPress®, Adobe Illustrator®, or Adobe InDesign® document.)
- Printed Business Cards
(We offer CMYK full color printing on white premium 14pt. semi-gloss (protective coated) cover stock, or our "black ink only" economy print option printed on 110lb. ivory matte stock.)
Many clients enjoy option #1 listed above, which provides them with a cost-effective option they can take to any print vendor. The vendor will not need any specialized fonts, applications or operating systems to print these files. Our process ensures that all final files will print smoothly, and always at the highest resolution possible for any language. However, we also offer full-color printed business cards to give you the most flexibility for your project.
For Printed Cards, What are the Details/Features?
Our full-color business cards offer you the most flexibility for your project. Our process color cards offer the following features:
Our 14pt. semi-gloss (protective coated) cover stock: This is our most popular option, producing dazzling results whether your layout contains simple splashes of color, or full photographic images.
- Premium thick 14pt. semi-gloss (protective coated) cover stock (white)
- Full-color printing on one or both sides
- Horizontal or vertical printing
- Standard 3.5” x 2” format
- semi-gloss (protective coated) on both sides for durability (water-resistant)
- Full bleeds available
Our 110lb. ivory card stock (black ink only): This card stock option is available only for our black ink printing option. This basic print option is an economical choice with the following features:
- 110lb card stock (off-white/ivory color)
- Requires 100% black ink printing only (no screens)
- 1200 dpi black ink printing on one or both sides
- Horizontal or vertical printing
- Standard 3.5” x 2” format
