Understanding the Differences Between Paper and Digital Card Designs

While both paper and digital cards represent your brand, they differ from each other as one is fixed in its shape and size, while the other is built for flexibility so it can represent your brand perfectly regardless of the screen size or device type your recipient is using to view your digital card.

It is for this reason that simply uploading an existing paper card design won't work.

Why Digital Cards Are Different from Paper Cards

Unlike traditional paper cards, digital business cards:

  • Adjust to different screen sizes – They must look good on devices ranging from large computer monitors to small smartwatch screens.

  • Have flexible layouts – There is no fixed "card size" as digital cards adapt to fit each screen perfectly.

  • Use dynamic fonts – Fonts may vary depending on the device and operating system to ensure readability and compatibility.

But don't worry - Haystack has done all the heavy lifting for you. We designed our digital cards to load up perfectly on any screen size and shape, and on any device and operating system, as you never know what device your recipients are going to use (we even tested them on tens of thousands of different device/screen combinations).

Focus on Your Brand

Instead of replicating a paper card exactly, focus on making your digital card a strong, adaptable brand asset. With 400,000+ brands already on the system, we can help you create a digital card that represents your brand beautifully across all devices.
