Meishi. Japanese business cards: a ubiquitious tool and essential element for conducting business in Japan. For a Japanese business person, being caught without a supply of business cards is a breach of business etiquette and a social blunder.

Format
Formatting for the Japanese side of your business card can be done in either of two formats: Horizontal or vertical. The vertical format is considered the more conservative and traditional style. The horizontal format is somewhat of a newer development and is particularly popular with Japanese graphic designers because of the greater opportunity to inject creativity into card design. Today in Japan the division between horizontal and vertical Japanese business cards is probably 50/50.

Chinese/Korean business cards
If you need your business card in either Chinese or Korean, we can provide that also. For Chinese translations, please indicate whether you want the translation in traditional (for Hong Kong, Taiwan) or simplified (mainland China) format.

Other languages
Over the years, many of our clients have encountered the need for business card translations in languages other than the three main Asian languages. As a result, we have developed the resources for handling most languages found in the world. If you have a need for example for Arabic, or Serbo Croation, Russian, Spanish or French our staff will be delighted to help you with those needs too.
