In the US and Canada, a standard business card is 3.5 × 2 in (88.9 × 50.8 mm). In Western Europe it is usually 85 × 55 mm. Both sizes are in the picker: your file should match the proportions of the one you print.
| Size | File at 290 DPI (with bleed) |
|---|---|
| 85 × 55 mm | 1,039 × 696 |
| 3.5 × 2 in | 1,088 × 653 |
Bleed and safe area
Add 1/8 in of bleed on each side: the file for a 3.5 × 2 in card is 3.75 × 2.25 in. On such a small card, a name or phone number too close to the edge can get trimmed: keep them at least 1/8 in inside the cut.
The right resolution
A card is read at about a foot away. At 30 cm, the eye resolves detail up to about 290 DPI (one arcminute), which is why small print jobs ask for 300 DPI. A 3.5 × 2 in card at 300 DPI takes 1,125 × 675 px with bleed. A vector logo (SVG, PDF) stays sharp either way.
Paper and finishes
Business cards are printed on thick stock so they don’t bend in a wallet. Matte lamination feels soft, gloss makes colors pop, and spot UV makes a logo stand out. Thin, small text prints cleaner in plain black than in four-color black.
