You can use your computer or printing machine at home, or you can make your own using your smartphone or convenience store on the go, but you can get good quality business cards by requesting a professional company.

Most of all, the more efficient business people are, the more busy they are, so asking a production company to do it for you saves time rather than creating it yourself.

And when ordering business cards from a production company, you can have them make high-quality ones by practicing the following points.

I compared how to make a business card, which is cheaper to make by yourself or to order from a production company. If you are a businessman with a large stock of business cards, you do not need to bother ordering from a production company. If you only have a few pieces, you can make them yourself faster and save money and time. When ordering business cards from a production company, we recommend using it when you need to create a large amount of cards, such as 50 or 100 units. And if you decide to ask a production company to make business cards, it is better to pick up multiple business card vendors and compare prices. This is because the cost of creating business cards differs slightly for each production company.

・ Raksul / double-sided printing / color / 500 yen

・ Askle / one side / color / 950 yen

As mentioned above, if you ask a production company how to make business cards, you can order 100 sheets for 1000 yen or less. Also, if you make 100 business cards on your own computer, you will have to pay for [paper fee 540 yen, printer ink fee] etc. Depending on the case, the expense may be more than 1000 yen, so it is often cheaper to ask a contractor to make your own work and order from a production company.

I will introduce how to make your own business card using a smartphone or convenience store on the go. Many businessmen travel long distances or exchange business cards at social gatherings. You may forget your business card holder or business card when you go out. In such a case, you can make business cards in as little as 30 minutes by using a smartphone or convenience store. However, note that not all convenience stores can create business cards.

How to make your own business card using a smartphone / convenience store on the go

・Use a business card creation app on your smartphone

・Using a multi-function copier at a convenience store

・Press the arrow on the right of BiziCard to create a business card

・If you are going to print dozens of sheets, use a cutter and a ruler to cut them neatly.

You can make your own business cards using a smartphone or convenience store by following the steps above. If you live in a rural area, it may be difficult to find a convenience store, but in an area where there are none, I think there are convenience stores unless you are in a very special place.

And the best convenience store is to use the company that you do business with and the store near your customers.

In how to make a business card, I compared which is cheaper, using a smartphone or a convenience store on the go, or ordering one from a production company. Earlier, I told you that if you order business cards from a production company, a conscientious company can make them for less than 100 units [1000 yen].

And it may cost several thousand yen to make business cards in units of 100 using a smartphone or convenience store on the go. Therefore, it is often cheaper to place an order with a production company.

However, making business cards on the go is often an urgent need, so in order to connect smoothly with customers in the future, it may be better to make your own.

Also, at that time, it is also a chance to change the business card holder to a new one. So, if possible, why not buy a brand new business card holder when creating a business card with the meaning of improving your luck and refreshing your feelings?

Regarding how to make business cards, if you ask a production company, there are many companies who will make it for 1000 yen or less per 100 sheets. If you make it yourself or use a smartphone or convenience store on the go, it may cost 1000 yen or more.

On a case-by-case basis, if you need business cards urgently, we recommend making your own. Also, if you only need to make a few, making your own rather than asking a production company will save you money and time.
