Whether you’re creating a business card, wedding invitation, or greeting card, you may want to consider printing on both sides of the card. Canva makes it easy to design on both sides of your card with our double-sided layouts.

Simply open a design, click on the “Layout” tab, and select “Double Sided” from the drop-down menu.

If you’re working with a square or rectangular-shaped card, you’ll have plenty of room to get creative with your design. For example, you could put your logo on one side and your contact information on the other.

Or you can use Canva’s pre-made templates and use them on your design. Business card templates often come with two pages that represent the front and back design of the card. You can click “Apply both pages” for a start.

Sometimes, the double-sided option won’t appear unless you “Share” and “Print your design” in Canva. Canva has a full printing service built right in. All you have to do is select from the print templates and Canva will instantly create a copy & resize your design following the template you selected.

In the new copy, the option to print your design as a double-sided card will finally appear. From here, you can select which page will be the front or back of your card. Click “Continue” once done and Canva will print and ship your physical card to your address. You can also download and print your card locally from here. This process also works for printing marketing flyers, postcards, and stationery.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating beautiful designs, but it’s important to be aware that you can’t make double-sided cards on the platform. If you try to print your design on both sides of the paper, the front and back will be reversed. This can be frustrating if you’re trying to create a symmetrical design, so it’s best to stick to single-sided cards when using Canva.

If you’re working with a shaped card, such as a business card or greeting card, you may want to use a single-sided layout. This will give you more space to work on your design.
