How to make a business card?

[RSI]

Any tips on making business cards would be very appreciated. Can I make them on a regular printer? What kind of paper to use? What kind of small designs to use? Any tips at all you can give me on business cards? Other than the obvious include your name, number, email, etc... What else do I have to consider?

You can buy "Business Card" kits at the store that come with pre-perfed paper and such.

Avery makes a special card stock paper that has about 6 business card size punchouts per page. You can buy a box of like 60 of them for about $7. The prefered method would be to do them on a laser printer through the bypass tray since the toner is actually fused to the paper and won't smear and fade as bad as the ink from an inkjet.

If color is a must, take it to a Kinkos and have them run it through a color laser.

Things to include would be -
Logo
Business name
Your name
Phone number
office number (if applicable)
pager/cell
email address
sometimes office hours are nice too
sometimes physical address(if applicable)
business motto (if applicable)
