Name, specialty and contact details on the front, an appointment card, your opening hours or a QR code on the back: in just a few minutes you have a business card you can upload to any online printer as a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed.
What belongs on a practice business card?
Patients take your business card home and dig it out again when they need an appointment. So above all it should show your name with academic title, your professional title or specialty, the practice name, address, phone number, email and website. Less is more: five easy-to-read lines are better than ten tiny ones.
Use the same professional title on the card as on your website and in your legal notice. That way patients find you online under exactly that name, and everything you present looks consistent.
Appointment card, opening hours or QR code on the back
The back is the most useful part of the card. As an appointment card, it has room for the next appointment, so patients always have the date, time and the phone number for cancelling in their wallet. Alternatively, the back shows your opening hours, a large QR code or just the practice name on your colour.
The QR code can do three things: open your website, save your contact details straight to a phone (vCard) or open your practice’s Google review form. It fills the back of the card, so it scans reliably once printed.
How to order the cards from an online printer
Download the print PDF. It contains the front and back as two pages measuring 91 × 61 mm, i.e. 85 × 55 mm plus 3 mm bleed on every edge. All common online printers accept this file: choose the 85 × 55 mm format, double-sided, and upload the file.
Background colours extend into the bleed so that no white edge remains after cutting. Text and the QR code keep 4 mm away from the trim edge. With “Show trim and safety lines” you can see both in the preview.
All text in the PDF and SVG is converted to vector paths. The printer therefore needs no fonts, and the printed card looks exactly like the preview. The PNG file has 300 dpi and suits printers that only accept image files.
The colours are set up in RGB. The printer converts them to CMYK for printing, and strong colours can look slightly more muted as a result. If you want to be completely sure, order a small run first.
Only free fonts and icons
All fonts in the generator come from Google Fonts and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License; the icons come from Lucide (ISC licence). So you can have the cards printed without any licence fees. The generator runs entirely in your browser: your details are not sent to us.
