To ensure the best possible results during the printing process, provide a design that measures 3.75" x 2.25". The finished size of your business card will be 3.5" x 2".
Bleed
To avoid an unwanted white border, drag all background content to the edges of your template. We’ll trim your business cards between the safe area and the bleed line.
Safe Area
To prevent content from being cut off during the printing process, keep all key text and logos inside this zone.
File Format & Resolution
When designing your business card, you may upload files in the form of a JPG, PNG or PDF. We recommend setting your document’s resolution to a minimum of 300 DPI and color mode of CMYK
If you’ve already created content for your business card, choose the Upload Your Own option to upload your finished design as a PDF, JPG or PNG. Please refer to the design guidelines to ensure your design is ready for print before you upload it.

Ultra-thick 38pt paper stock is the thickest material we offer. Measuring 12mm, it’s roughly 2 times thicker than our standard 14pt stock, which measures 5mm. Its shine-free finish makes the perfect writing surface for appointment reminders and more. We recommend selecting this material if you’re looking for a business card with a weighted feel and high-end look. Ultra-thick business cards are available for delivery only.
If you’d like to write on your business cards, opt for a matte finish. For best results, writing surfaces should be ink-free or printed with lightly-colored ink. Writing on heavily-printed surfaces, such business cards with detailed or large imagery, is not recommended.
We offer 3.5" x 2" business cards, the standard fit for wallets and card holders. Visit a store to speak to a print specialist about custom orders.
Same-day business cards are perfect for printing last-minute cards for a new employee or updating outdated information on your business cards in a pinch. Choose landscape or portrait orientation and select gloss or matte finish for business cards that meet your needs.
