However, folded cards are the most expensive solution in business card design today, so you need ensure you have enough budget to use this design.
Essentially, the cover can be designed like a standard card that carries the basic information. The logo can occupy the cover while the bottom layer can carry the name, phone number, and address. Once you are done on the top layer, you can work on inside part which basically contains the content of your message.

An essay is a big no-no. When organizing your message in the card, be sure not to write an essay just to convince your potential customers why you are better than your competition.

With people wanting to feel assured that the company they are going to deal with is a top company, your message will tell people that they can trust you. But be sure not to present them in an essay.
Call for addition information. If you want your prospects to learn more about you, then make sure your card tells your prospects that they should contact you. Pique the interest of your prospects by putting enticing statements in your card—something that will provide a definite encouragement to them.
