Print business cards

You can use the business card templates in Pages to design business cards that fit some commercial business card stationery.

Print business cards

The business card templates are page layout documents, so all text is contained in text boxes. Editing the placeholder text on one card doesn’t change the text on the other cards in the templates. You need to change text on each card. You can speed up the process by grouping the text on the first card after it’s edited, copying it, then pasting it on each card.

  1. In the document manager, tap Create Document.

  2. Scroll down to the Business Cards section, then tap a template.

    The numbers at the bottom of each page indicate the commercial business card paper that the page is designed for. Edit only the page that corresponds to your business card paper.

  3. Tap Tools button, tap Settings, then turn on Center Guides, Edge Guides, and Spacing Guides.

  4. Select text on the first card, then type your own information.

  5. To group the text boxes on the business card, tap and hold a text box, then tap the remaining text boxes with another finger. Lift your fingers, then tap Group.

  6. Delete the text boxes on the next card.

    If you delete text boxes on all of the remaining cards, the alignment guides won’t appear. Alignment guides let you know when the object you’re moving is in alignment with other objects on the page.

  7. Tap the grouped business card, then tap Copy.

  8. Tap near the edge of the page, then tap Paste.

  9. Drag the copy to one of the other cards until the alignment guides appear.

    The alignment guides appear when the new copy is aligned exactly horizontally and vertically with the text on the adjacent cards.

  10. Delete the text boxes on the next card, then paste again, and repeat steps 9 and 10 until all of the cards are completed.

  11. Tap Tools button, tap Share and Print, then tap Print.

  12. If no printer is selected, tap Select Printer, then choose one.

    Your device automatically searches for any nearby AirPrint printers. For more information, see About AirPrint on the Apple support site.

  13. Tap Print.

    If you’re using one of the commercial business card papers, print only the page that you edited.
