Business Cards Standard

Business Cards Standard

Keeping it simple is the most important bit of information I can give here. It is just a business card after-all. You are normally there in person handing these over so all you really need is your contact information and maybe some bullet points about the business if you have a wide range of services.

We have a few options most of which are covered in the glossary but to help you out quickly we recommend again keeping it simple. The most popular product is Silk (Sheen) 400gsm (mediumweight board)

Standard size for a UK business card is 85 x 55mm. Try and maintain a margin of 5mm and bleed of 2mm if you can please. 

Templates can be downloaded here. Where shown the red line is bleed, the black line is the trim and the magenta line is the margin.
