Introduction
When you hand out a business card, it’s often your first impression. Choosing the right size helps your card fit perfectly into wallets, cardholders, and, most importantly, your customers’ memories. Here’s a simple guide to the most common business card sizes and how to customize them for your brand.

Standard Business Card Sizes

In the United States, the standard business card size is 3.5 inches by 2 inches. This dimension fits easily into most wallets, card sleeves, and display racks. It’s the most popular format for networking events, retail stores, and professional services.

In other parts of the world, card sizes can differ slightly:

• Canada and Mexico: 3.5" × 2" (same as U.S.)

• United Kingdom and Europe: 3.35" × 2.17" (85mm × 55mm)

• Japan: 3.58" × 2.17" (91mm × 55mm)
  Understanding these variations matters if you do business internationally or want a design that travels well across markets.

Why the Size of Your Business Card Matters

Size affects more than just fit. It impacts your design balance and brand presentation.

• Standard cards convey professionalism and tradition.

• Square or mini cards stand out and can look more modern.

• Folded cards give extra room for services, QR codes, or event details.
