US Business Card Maker (3.5 × 2 in)

Create business cards at the US standard 3.5 × 2 inches (89 × 51 mm). Enter your details, choose a layout, and print a full sheet with cut marks on US Letter or A4.

Which binders this fits

3.5 × 2 inches — 89 × 51 mm — is the standard business card across the United States and Canada, and the size every US cardholder, Rolodex and wallet slot expects. It is wider and shorter than the European 85 × 55 mm card, giving a slightly more landscape proportion that suits a name and title on one line. Ten cards fit on a US Letter sheet in a 2 × 5 grid. If you deal with contacts on both sides of the Atlantic, the pragmatic choice is to print the size that matches wherever you hand out the most cards.

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.

Ten cards fit on a US Letter sheet. Set scaling to 100% and disable "fit to page" in the print dialog — at card sizes, the few millimetres that shaves off are enough to make the cut marks miss the pre-cut perforations on an Avery sheet.
