Business Card Size Chart

Struggling to choose the right size for your business card? Use our business card size chart to determine the best size for your message.

Factors To Consider When Choosing the Size & Shape of Your Business Card

A business card is a marketing tool and it needs to be durable, feel good to touch and be sized for your business contacts to conveniently keep on hand.

The standard business card size in Australia is:

  • 90 mm wide by 55 mm in height. This fits easily in any wallet or cardholder.
  • Easily readable. The important information - your company name, your name and contact details should fit in a space that's uncluttered and easy to find.

If you don't absolutely need your card to fit in a wallet and want to stand out from your competition you're only limited by your imagination! Our team of experts can guide you through the selection process and provide business card examples that showcase the endless possibilities.

Available Space

There are certain design and paper size guidelines you’ll need to consider when you create and print business cards. While the dimensions of the below areas will change depending on the size of your business card, you will still need to consider them in your design to ensure a consistent and stunning final product.

Listed below are the available space dimensions that must be accounted for when designing standard business cards in Australia.

Bleed area (61mm x 96mm)
If your business card has a patterned or colour background, you’ll need the size of your design to extend beyond the diameter of your final business card. This will help achieve a consistent look across all of your cards that isn’t disrupted by white borders.

Trim area (55mm x 90mm)
The trim area marks where your business cards will be cut after printing.

Safe printing area (49mm x 84mm)
The safe printing area is your freezone, where you can get creative with text and designs. Keep all of your important information within this area to ensure that your vision matches the final printed product.

Content Requirements

Business cards should only include important information.

The exact content of your business card will ultimately depend on your company, but there are some common elements that appear in good business cards. This includes:

  • Your name and job title
  • Business name and logo
  • Website and email address
  • Telephone number

You may also want to include other creative elements such as your social media accounts, services, address or even a QR code.

Design and Layout

A good business card is readable and simple.

While graphics and images will make your card more eye-catching, it’s important to not overwhelm your reader with a cluttered design. Keep it simple by limiting the colours on your card to your logo and background design. If you are designing a double-sided business card, you may want to use the front side for your logo and background while reserving the back for important information.

In addition to your typography and logo, the final finishes you pick for your business cards can further personalise them. Our deluxe business card designs offer a variety of premium finishes including:

  • 100% Recycled Eco card stock
  • A deluxe Celloglaze finish in either matte or gloss
  • Embossing or raised lettering
