How big is a business card?

Companies and professionals can make business cards in any size they want, but the standard card size in the United States is 3.5 inches by 2 inches, as of 2014. Some people use folded cards that are 3.5 inches by 4 inches when open, but standard size when folded.

Cards are also designed with a bleed, which requires a bit more room around the edges. The suggested size for a bleed card is 3.75 inches by 2.25 inches. Some countries have standards that are slightly smaller or slightly larger than the United States. People have flexibility in most cultures to go against the standard to stand out.
