Visiting card design on your phone, in Bangla
Design a visiting card on your phone with your Bengali name in a clean font, at 3.5 x 2 inches, with a QR code on the back. Free design; print at a press.
- Make a visiting card, 3.5 x 2 inches: Md. Saiful Islam, proprietor, Saiful Electronics. Address: Station Road, Feni. Blue and white, space for a logo on the left.
- A teacher's visiting card: Rumana Akter, maths and physics, private batches. Address: College Road, Kushtia. Bangla on the front, the same details in English on the back.
- Make the back of my pharmacy's card, 3.5 x 2 inches: space for a QR code in the middle, and under it "scan to see our medicine list", in green.
How do I design a visiting card on my phone, with my name in Bangla?
In the chat, write your name, title, business, phone and address exactly, with the size: "visiting card, 3.5 x 2 inches". The front is laid out in real Bengali fonts, conjuncts intact, and downloads as a PNG. Ask for the back separately. The design is free; print it at a press you know.
Three steps to a visiting card on your phone
- Write the details and the size: Type everything the card will carry, spelling included, and start with "3.5 x 2 inches". Without a size the chat draws at poster size.
- Ask for the front, then the back: Front first. When you like it, say in the same chat "now the back, same colours and font". Two separate PNGs download.
- Take the PNGs to a press: Download both pictures and give them to a press, saying which card stock and how many. Before the full run, hold a sample card and check the numbers.
Stop sitting in front of the press computer for a visiting card
Getting a visiting card done at a press usually means showing an old sample and saying "make it like this". Then someone types it, the Bengali conjuncts in your name break, one digit of the mobile number flips, and you go back to fix it.
Made on your phone, you check the spelling yourself, choose the colours and layout yourself, and the press gets a finished file. Its job is only printing and cutting. If your number changes, one line gives a new version with no new design fee.
Visiting card size: inches, millimetres and pixels
- 3.5 x 2 inches: what most presses in Bangladesh call a standard visiting card. In pixels 1050 x 600, sharp enough for print.
- 3.25 x 2 inches: some presses cut this slightly smaller size. Ask your press for its cutting size and write that in the chat.
- Vertical cards: the same size turned, 2 x 3.5 inches. A doctor's or teacher's card with more lines is easier to arrange upright.
- Margins: the press may trim a little off the edges. Say "leave space around the edges" so no number or name is cut.
What to put on a visiting card, and what to leave off
A small card has little room, so four things are enough: name, title or trade, one phone number and the address. The name largest, then the business, and the number big enough for an older person to read without glasses. Bengali set too small blurs its headline stroke and vowel signs, so cut lines rather than shrinking letters.
Three numbers, two emails, Facebook and YouTube on one side crowd the card and nobody remembers any of it. Move extras to the back. If you want both languages, put Bangla on one side and English on the other; do not set every line twice side by side.
A QR code on the back: customers reach your site in one scan
Many people leave the back blank, yet it is the best place for the most useful thing: a QR code that opens your shop's site, product list or menu when a phone camera points at it. You can make that site here and publish it free; see the free website page.
Once it is live, the site manager's first screen has a QR download button beside the live link, with no AI or Token needed. Add the QR picture to the chat and ask for it in the middle of the back. If it does not sit right, ask for an empty square there and give the QR file to the press to place. Scan the proof with your own phone before printing.
Visiting card backgrounds and logos
The plainer the background, the clearer the words. One deep colour with white, or a white card with one coloured border, is enough. Text set over a photo often cannot be read once printed. If you want a patterned background, say "put a light panel behind the text".
No logo yet? Make one first: the symbol without words as an AI picture, up to 20 a day free, or see the name logo page for a logo from your initials. Never ask an AI picture to write your Bengali name inside it; the letters break. The name goes on the card in a font.
How much a visiting card costs
The design costs nothing. You get up to 400,000 free AI Token a day, and both sides of a card with a few rounds of changes fit well inside it.
The press sets the printing price: the card thickness, one or two sides in colour, lamination and how many. We do not print cards, so we quote no rates; show the same file to two or three presses and ask.
Questions about visiting card design
How much does a visiting card cost?
The design is free here, using the daily free AI Token. The press sets the printing price by stock, colour, lamination and quantity; we do not print, so ask a few presses.
What size is a visiting card?
Most presses in Bangladesh use 3.5 x 2 inches, 1050 x 600 pixels. Some cut 3.25 x 2 inches, and the European size is 85 x 55 mm. Find out your press's size and write that in the chat.
Do I need to install a visiting card app?
No. Open BanglaCodes in your phone's browser and make the card in the chat; nothing to install. The Bengali font comes out right even if your phone lacks it.
PNG or PDF: which do I give the press?
The card downloads here as a PNG at print size. Most presses print from a PNG; if yours wants another format, ask them, and they can usually convert it.
Will my Bengali name break on the card?
No. The words are set in a real Bengali font, not drawn like a picture, so the conjuncts stay whole. Still read every name and number once before it goes to the press.
How do I put a QR code on my card?
Publish your shop's site free first, then download the QR from the site manager. Add the QR picture to the chat and ask for it on the back, or leave an empty square and give the press the QR file.
Is a doctor's or tailor's card different?
Same structure, different words. A doctor's card has degrees, chamber hours and the serial number to call; a tailor's has the shop name, what it makes and the delivery number. With more lines, choose a vertical card.
