1.What size are business cards?
That depends on the shape you choose. Here’s a rundown of our business card sizes by shape:
Standard: 3.5″ x 2″
Rounded Corners: 3.5″ x 2″
Square: 2.5″ x 2.5″

Note: Square and circle business cards exceed the height of a standard wallet. Consider one of our other options if you’re looking for wallet-sized business cards.
Also, when you’re designing or choosing a template, remember that business card dimensions may include a “bleed area,” which is extra space for images, patterns or design elements that extend beyond the cut edges – this helps prevent having white edges around your finished card.
See our business card size guide for detailed info on business card sizes in pixels, bleed area and more.

Business card thickness is usually measured in “points,” abbreviated as “pt.” The higher the number, the thicker the card.
