Follow these 5 simple steps to design and prepare your Business Card for print:
- Choose the size
To design your Business Card, you'll have to choose the size. Currently, there are only 2 standard sizes: the International — 85x55 mm (3.35x2.17 in) and the US — 89x51 mm (3.5x2 in). - Set bleeds
Simply extend your Business Card design to the bleed line — add 3mm (0.125 in) at each side and include all necessary information within the bleed area.
We also recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone - the 3mm inside of the cutting edge in order not to be clipped when cutting.
This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Business Card. - Select 1 or 2-sided print
If you need to include several blocks of information (logo, company data, contact info, etc.) better go for double-sided print, so as not to overcrowd your Business Card.
If you want to keep your Business Card concise and only add the most important data, better choose the single-sided print. - Settle high resolution
To ensure you get high-quality Business Cards, choose 300 DPI resolution while designing your business card in Illustrator or any other tool you're using. - Prepare file for printing
- Set 300 DPI resolution
- Choose RGB print
- Save the file in PDF/X-4
Well done! Now you can print your Business Card all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
