Mini Business Card Maker (85 × 25 mm)

Create mini business cards at 85 × 25 mm — full standard width, less than half the height. Ideal as a contact slip, appointment card, or something to tuck into packaging.

Which binders this fits

At 85 × 25 mm a mini card keeps the standard width but cuts the height to under half, which changes what it is for. There is room for a name and one or two contact lines and essentially nothing else, so it works as a contact slip or an appointment reminder rather than a full business card. The practical advantages are real: it slips into a wallet note compartment where a full card will not go, it is cheap to produce because twenty-two fit on an A4 sheet, and it is a natural insert for product packaging. It is a supplement to a standard card, not a replacement for one.

Compatible label sheets

You can print on plain paper and cut along the marks, or use a pre-cut sheet made for this format:

How to print these labels

1. 1Pick your paper format in the toolbar — A4 or US Letter. The label count per sheet updates automatically.
2. 2Type your label text directly on the preview. Each label is edited in place, so what you see is what prints.
3. 3Set the font, size and colour per label. Keep one convention across a shelf; mixed styles are far more obvious on a shelf than on screen.
4. 4Print a test page on plain paper first and hold it against the binder to check the size before using cardstock or a label sheet.
5. 5In the print dialog set scaling to 100% and turn off "fit to page", which silently shrinks the label by a few millimetres.
6. 6Cut along the dashed marks. A trimmer gives a straighter edge than scissors, which shows once the label is on the spine.

Because the cards are short, many fit on one sheet and there are far more cuts to make. Mark the sheet before you start and work through the horizontal cuts first, then the vertical — reversing that order tends to leave the last row skewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are mini business cards used for?

Contact slips, appointment cards, packaging inserts and loyalty cards. There is room for a name and one or two contact lines, so they supplement a standard card rather than replacing it.

How many mini cards fit on a page?

Around twenty-two on an A4 sheet, which makes them the cheapest format per card in this tool.
