Digital Card Design

CardShare offers 3 templates: Classic (traditional business card layout), Modern (contemporary design with bold accents), and Minimal (clean, understated look). All templates support full color, font, and material customization.

Premium materials are high-quality textures that make your digital card look and feel luxurious. They include real wood grains (mahogany, walnut, oak), metals (brushed gold, aluminum, Damascus steel), leather (cognac, Italian), stone (black marble, lapis lazuli), and many more.
