Business Card creation

Welcome to the forums!

Pages can indeed do business cards. You can set it up to print on the low-end perforated sheets, or you could create a "page" the size of a business card and produce a PDF that a professional printer could use.

What specifically are you looking for?

I came cross the following app. 'Business Card Composer'

Hope this helps!!

It is possible but not as easy as Appleworks. Appleworks uses a database to make the cards. The layout is such that any changes to the one layout changes all info in every card. With Pages you have to make all the changes manually or copy and paste many times.

Trying to do business cards and labels in iPages 06. Need more help! This is the only software that I have that might be able to do this. Can't find "business Cards" in the help menu.
Need more info! Thanks!

Hi!

I imported a business card template from Microsoft Word 2004 for mac into Pages 06, and I have noticed that the backgrounds won't transfer, but the rectangle objects that accept text are there. With a little creativity, you can get some nice cards. I use the Avery 28877 clean edge cards.

File -> Print Setup
and there change the page size to the size of a business card (use a custom one)
perhaps with some extra space, depending on who will be printing them, some companies ask you to add a little border; make the card a bit larger then required, to prevent white borders....

then make a business card in that page.. and export as a PDF..

if you want to make multiple cards on one page, just choose the Shape -> Rectangle, and then use the inspector -> metrics and change the size to the size of the business card (maybe a bit bigger...).. and duplicate that rectangle until you have enough on that page..

Thanks for everyone's help! It is appreciated!
