Business Cards templates
A business card is the smallest job we print and the least forgiving: at 3.5 × 2 inches a logo that drifts an eighth of an inch is visibly off-centre. Every layout here is built on the trim box the press actually cuts to, with the safety margin drawn where our guillotine tolerance lives. Pick a size, drop in your name and details, and the artwork carries straight into paper, finish and quantity.
Picked for a trade
Same library, narrowed to one kind of business, with the copy, the quantities and the stock advice that trade actually needs.
100 starting layouts, drawn for 3.5 × 2"
Each one opens in the studio as editable layers. The wording is a placeholder — replace it with yours and the layout holds.

Sizes we print
7 sizes in 4 proportions — a layout survives a change of size, not a change of proportion, which is why the grid above is drawn for the size marked below.

How this file has to be built
- Bleed 0.125" · safety 0.125"
- Backgrounds run 0.125" past the cut line so trimming never opens a white sliver; anything that must survive stays 0.125" inside it. The studio canvas is the cut line itself — magenta edge — and the dashed guide inside it is the safety margin.
- 300 DPI at final size
- Small format is read at arm's length, so photos and logos need the full 300. One side or both, your choice at checkout.
- White underbase layer · Foil mask · Raised spot UV mask
- These ride as separate masks, not as part of the artwork: 100% black where the layer lands, white where it does not. Design the ink in the studio and send the mask alongside it.
- · Clear, frosted and kraft stocks print through a White underbase — keep that layer as solid 100% K art in a separate file.
- · Round-corner and die-cut shapes eat the outer 0.125 in: nothing that must survive should sit in the corner radius.
What it costs printed
Prices are the catalogue entry point for each item, computed by the same engine that charges at checkout. Stock, finish, size and quantity move the number — the configurator on each page shows it live.
Business Cards questions
- Which size should I pick?
- 3.5 × 2 inches is the US standard and fits every wallet and card holder; 3.35 × 2.16 is the European size. Square (2 × 2, 2.5 × 2.5, 3 × 3) and the oversized 3.875 × 2.5 and 5 × 3 cards stand out but will not slot into a standard card case.
- Why is my text pulled away from the edge?
- The dashed frame is the safety margin — an eighth of an inch inside the cut line. Cards are trimmed in stacks, and the blade drifts slightly through the lift, so anything closer than that risks being clipped on some cards and not others.
- Can I add foil or raised spot UV to a design made here?
- Yes. Design the ink layer in the studio, then pick a foil or raised-UV card on the product page and send the finish mask as a separate file: 100% black where the foil or varnish lands, white where it does not.
