What sizes and thicknesses are available for business cards?

That depends on the shape and card type you choose. Here’s a rundown of popular business card sizes: Standard: 3.5" × 2" Rounded Corners: 3.5" × 2" Square: 2.5" × 2.5" Circle: 2.5" diameter Oval: 3.5" × 2" Leaf: 3.5" × 2" Business card thickness is measured in points, abbreviated as "pt." The higher the number, the thicker the card. Standard business card printing usually starts around 14pt to 16pt, while premium and ultra-thick options can go higher depending on paper and finish. Square and circle business cards can exceed the height of a standard wallet. Choose standard, rounded, oval, or leaf shapes if you want a more wallet-friendly size. When designing your card, remember that dimensions may include a bleed area. Bleed is extra design space that extends beyond the cut edge and helps prevent unwanted white borders after trimming.

How do I design a custom business card online?

Start with a ready-made template, design from a blank card, or upload your own print-ready artwork. Add your logo, name, contact details, brand colors, QR code, and any special finish you want, then preview before ordering.

What information should I put on my business card?

Most cards include a name, title, company name, phone number, email, website, and logo. You can also add a QR code, appointment fields, social handles, a short tagline, or a special offer if it supports the way customers contact you.

Can I upload my own business card design?

Yes. Upload your finished artwork and make sure it has high-resolution graphics, safe margins, and bleed. If your file is not ready, start with a template and customize it directly online.

What is the difference between matte, gloss, soft touch, and foil?

Matte is smooth and shine-free. Gloss adds a reflective finish that makes colors pop. Soft touch feels velvety and premium. Foil adds metallic shine to selected areas like logos, names, lines, or patterns.

Can I make QR code, plastic, metallic, or magnetic business cards?

Yes. You can choose card styles for QR codes, plastic cards, metallic looks, magnetic cards, appointment cards, stickers, loyalty cards, and other business-use formats depending on the product options available.

What are NFC business cards?

NFC business cards have a small smart chip inside the card. When someone taps the card on a compatible phone, it can open your digital profile, website, portfolio, booking page, menu, or saved contact details.

What's inside the card

A chip in the card. A tap on the phone.

Near one corner sits a chip thinner than the card itself. Hold a phone close and it opens whatever you've linked, a contact card, a website, a menu, a booking page. The link can change anytime. The printed card never has to.
