About Standard Business Cards
Standard business cards are the baseline against which premium card options should be judged. Start with what the card actually has to do: fit common wallets and card holders, reproduce contact details clearly and stand up to normal handling. 85 × 55mm is the common UK size, although the live product options should always take priority. Stock, lamination and finish change the stiffness and feel of the card, but an upgrade should support the brand rather than compensate for crowded artwork. Keep small text, logos and important contact details comfortably away from the trim and use the bleed shown for the chosen specification.

Expert guides for this product
Business Cards
What size should a business card be?
For most UK businesses, 85 × 55mm is the safest business card size because it fits standard wallets and card holders. Square cards are better when standing out matters more than fitting conventional holders.

What bleed do I need for print?
For common small-format print, 3mm bleed on each edge is the normal starting point. Large-format products may use different bleed and finishing allowances, so the product specification should always take priority.

What file format should I send for printing?
A correctly exported PDF is usually the safest print file because it can keep fonts, vectors and images together. Editable AI, EPS or PSD files can be useful when changes are required, while JPG and PNG are best treated as image files rather than general-purpose print artwork.

Matt vs gloss lamination
Choose matt lamination for a more restrained, low-glare finish and gloss when you want stronger shine and colour punch. Soft-touch adds a more tactile premium feel but should be chosen for the brand and use, not simply because it costs more.

What size should I choose for a standard business card?
85 × 55mm is the common UK business card size and is the safest starting point when wallet and card-holder compatibility matters. Use the live product options for the exact sizes available.
Do standard business cards need lamination?
No. Lamination changes the feel and adds surface protection, but an unlaminated or different finish may be better when writeability or a more natural paper feel matters.
What size are standard UK business cards?
85 × 55mm is the UK standard. We also offer square 54 × 54mm.
Do you check my artwork?
Artwork is checked before production and obvious production issues are flagged where identified.
