Peter, thank you very much!

I would appreciate your team. In my country every company has their own rules. public company have registered names and departments of empolyees in their cards. but private companies have different aspects. they have registered their names, positions, departments. in my card mentioned my name, my father's name, department as well as the issue date. i think, it might be very helpfull to register the names of empolyee, and the postion of empolyee also surename of staff.

In my country ,on business cards main information is name , last name, phone , email ,work name and country where was born.

In the majority of cases, business cards in my country give information such as company's name, address, phone number and director's name.

In my country the write a Phone number AN email and position and of course their name

In my country the business card information contains name, company name, position and phone number

First is a company name, Second is person name with a position. And the phone number with email address.

Firstly details of the company like company logo, who is running the company and there details and contacts.
