The problem with creating a single image for the entire card is that you 
can't use a database to fill it easily - such as the same card design 
for multiple employees, just with different names and contact information.

The problem doesn't seem to the "internal white space" so much as the 
page the text sits on. You can make the page transparent (Format | Page 
| Transparency - set to 100%) which fixes the problem. It's just not 
very intuitive.
