Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard US business card size?

The standard US business card size is 3.5 inches × 2 inches (89mm × 51mm). For print-ready files at 300 DPI, that translates to 1050 × 600 pixels. At 600 DPI for higher quality, that’s 2100 × 1200 pixels.

What size are European business cards?

The European standard business card size is 85mm × 55mm (3.346″ × 2.165″), defined by the ISO 7810 ID-1 standard. This is the same size as a credit card and is slightly taller and narrower than the US standard.

What DPI should my business card design be?

A minimum of 300 DPI (dots per inch) is recommended for professional-quality business card printing. For the sharpest results, especially with fine text or detailed logos, 600 DPI is ideal. Below 150 DPI, prints will appear noticeably blurry.

What file format is best for printing business cards?

PDF with CMYK color mode is the preferred format for professional printing. High-resolution PNG or TIFF files (300+ DPI) are also widely accepted. Avoid using JPEG for final print files as compression can introduce visible artifacts around text and sharp edges.

What is bleed on a business card?

Bleed is the extra area (typically 0.125 inches or 3mm) that extends beyond the trim line of your card. It ensures that colors and images extend all the way to the edge after cutting, preventing white borders from slight cutting variations. Most printers require bleed in your design file.
