Business cards are important – especially, it seems, in Southeast Asia, where a flurry of card exchanging can be seen at almost every meeting and event. Sometimes, having an impressive card (and exchanging it the right way) could be the one thing that makes or breaks a potential business deal. If that’s got you worried, fret not: we’ve gathered a handful of places in Singapore where you can print a nice big batch of brilliant-looking cards.

The right way to exchange business cards
- If you’re seated when introductions are going on, stand up to exchange cards.
- Be the first to offer your card, if you can.
- Offer the card with both hands; you could even give a small nod of the head as a sign of respect.
- Accept cards with both hands.
- Once you’ve received a card, don’t just shove it in your pocket or drop it on the table! Take time to read the person’s name and position.
- Don’t come to a business meeting or networking event without enough cards – it suggests you’re not well prepared.
- Don’t leave cards lying on a table after the meeting or event – be sure to take them with you.
