The card designer lets you lay out a physical Tap card — both sides — and order it without leaving the app.

​
What you can put on a card

Name and title

With control over font family, weight, size, line height, and colour. Arabic and Latin font families are both available.

Background

A solid colour or an image. Drag on the card to reposition an image.

Images

Add several per side. Drag to reorder — the first appears on top.

Icons

Same as images: several per side, reorderable, with size control.
You design the front and back separately, and can make the back match the front in one action rather than rebuilding it. This is where card designs go wrong, and both pitfalls are worth knowing before you start rather than after the box arrives.
Colours print in CMYK. Custom colours may look slightly different on the printed card than on your screen. Screens emit light and cards reflect it — vivid, saturated colours are the ones most likely to shift. Avoid designs where an exact brand colour match is critical unless you’ve seen a printed sample.
Watch the low-resolution warnings. The designer flags images whose resolution is too low, and that warning is worth acting on: an image that looks fine on a phone screen can look visibly blurry printed at card size. Use the highest-resolution version of any logo you have.

​
Working with drafts

Card designs save as drafts, so you can start a design, leave, and come back without losing work. Useful when you need someone else to approve a layout before ordering.

​
Ordering

Once a design is finished, order the card from the app and track it under your orders. When it arrives, activate it and link it to a profile. A card that hasn’t been activated doesn’t do anything yet.

​
Design advice

The card’s only job is to be tapped. It doesn’t need your phone number, your email, and three social handles — that’s what the profile it opens is for. Name, title, logo. Stop there.
Cards get looked at under bad exhibition lighting. Grey text on a slightly different grey reads beautifully on a monitor and disappears in a hall.
If your card carries Arabic, preview it specifically. Latin and Arabic fonts are chosen independently, and a pairing that looks right at one size may not at another.
A single sample tells you more about how your colours actually print than any amount of on-screen previewing.
