Visiting cards that get kept.
not pocketed and forgotten.

Visiting card design (also called business card design) is the practice of creating the small physical cards professionals exchange at meetings, events, and networking. A proper visiting card design includes brand logo and name placement, essential contact details (name, title, phone, email, address, website), social media handles or QR codes where relevant, print specifications (CMYK, bleed, crop marks), stock and finish choices (matte, gloss, textured, premium stocks), and design variants for different team members, roles, or offices. The best visiting cards get kept and remembered — not pocketed and forgotten.

Visiting card design costs in India scale with design complexity, variant count, and whether print production is included. Basic single card design: ₹1,500-₹5,000 (one design, print-ready file). Standard business card design (2-3 directions, revisions, print-ready delivery, multiple formats): ₹5,000-₹20,000. Team cards (10-50 variants with different names and roles from one template): ₹15,000-₹75,000. Premium specialty designs (foil stamping, embossing, letterpress, unusual stocks, custom die-cuts): ₹20,000-₹1,00,000+ for design plus print production. Monthly stationery retainers for growing teams with regular new-hire card needs: ₹10,000-₹50,000/month.

We don't operate our own printing, but we coordinate print production end-to-end. That means file preparation to printer-specific requirements, vendor recommendation based on quality tier and budget (we work with trusted print partners for standard printing, premium stocks, foil and emboss, letterpress, and specialty finishes across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and most tier-1 Indian cities), quote comparison, sample proofs before full print run, and delivery coordination. For clients with their own print vendors, we deliver print-ready files to the vendor's exact specifications. Honest note: a ₹1 cheap card and a ₹30 premium card use the same design file — the difference is entirely in paper stock and finish.

Yes — team card systems are a common deliverable. The approach: one master design template, then variants for each team member with their name, title, and direct contact details. For growing teams, we can also deliver an editable template (InDesign, Figma, or Canva) that your HR or admin team can use to generate new cards for new hires without going back to designers for each one. Enterprise setups with multi-location, multi-vertical, or sub-brand structures need additional variants — handled as a system where every card reads as the same organisation but carries the right local or vertical signals. Minimum team card count for discounted bulk design: typically 10+ cards.

Depends on the use case, but increasingly yes. A QR code on a visiting card linking to a digital vCard (contact file that the recipient can save with one tap), your LinkedIn profile, a landing page, or your website converts a printed exchange into a digital contact in seconds. The alternatives — the recipient manually typing your details, scanning the card with an app, or just losing the card — have higher friction and lower conversion. For sales and networking roles especially, QR codes have become the default rather than the novelty. The design consideration: QR codes need to be at least 1.5cm × 1.5cm to scan reliably, with sufficient contrast against the background. Clarvity designs cards with QR codes where they add value, and without where they'd clutter.

Standard visiting card design runs 3-7 business days: 1 day for brief and brand review, 2-3 days for 2-3 design directions, 1-2 days for revisions, 1 day for print-ready file preparation. Rush turnarounds of 24-48 hours are available at 40-60% premium. Team card systems with multiple variants typically take 1-2 weeks because of coordination for correct name, title, and contact details for each team member. Premium finishes (foil, emboss, letterpress) add print production time: typically 7-14 additional days for specialty print after design is approved. For projects bundling cards with letterhead and brand identity, the full stationery suite runs 2-4 weeks.
