My method: Use LibreOffice Impress and create a box the same size
as the business card. Then add whatever elements are desired inside
the box (text boxes, lines, images, etc). Combine the box and
elements into a group, make copies up to the number of cards on the
sheet of paper, align them, and then turn the original box borders
blank. Print a sample sheet on regular paper, hold up in the light
against the card sheet, and adjust top/bottom positioning as
appropriate. More initial work, but more control, and you can make
multiple designs per sheet. It's worked well for me over the years.<br>

<pre>I got the blank cards and the printer but LibreWriter isn't very
intuitive.
LibreOffice used to have templates for Avery's business card stationery.
I could not find any and I am assuming you tried it as well :(

Alternatively, you can go to Avery's website <a href="https://bit.ly/3NgUt6q" target="_blank"><https://bit.ly/3NgUt6q></a> (a
<a href="http://bit.ly" target="_blank">bit.ly</a> URI), select the form type, create your biz card there, and
download the PDF to print it on your printer.
I have done this for return address labels and it is awesome.

Caveat: When printing - in the printer dialog box select "no margins" or
the equivalent, print a test page on a blank sheet, and visually check for
alignment with your stationery. You have been warned :)
I also suggest that you include a QR code for your biz (the textual
information) and put it in a corner of the card. That way people who don't
want to carry paper cards can scan your biz details.
Hope this helps.
