Orientation changes how the design is arranged, not the final dimensions of the card.
Horizontal vs. Vertical Business Cards
Both orientations use the same 3.5 x 2 finished dimensions. The right choice depends on your branding and how you want the information arranged.
Horizontal Business Cards
The traditional landscape orientation provides plenty of horizontal room for contact information and longer business names.

- Multiple contact details
Vertical Business Cards
Portrait orientation creates a distinctive presentation that works well with stacked logos and clean, modern layouts.
- Stacked logos
- Minimal branding
- Short contact information
- Modern visual layouts
One-Sided or Double-Sided Business Cards?
One-Sided Business Cards
A straightforward option when all essential information fits comfortably on the front of the card.

- Name
- Job title
- Phone number
- Website
Double-Sided Business Cards
Use the back of the card to add useful information without overcrowding the primary contact side.
- QR codes
- Taglines
- Services

Business Card Paper & Finish Options
The paper you select changes the way your business card feels, reflects light, and presents your artwork.
Standard Cardstock
A reliable professional choice for everyday networking, sales teams, events, and general business use.
Premium Cardstock
A more substantial option when paper feel and a higher-end presentation are important to your brand.
Glossy Options
A smoother, shinier surface that can work especially well with bright colors, photography, graphics, and visual branding.
Full-Color vs. PMS Business Card Printing
Full-Color Business Cards
Full-color printing is designed to reproduce artwork that contains several colors, images, gradients, and detailed visual elements.
- Photography
- Full-color logos
- Gradients
- Illustrations
- Multi-color designs
- Full-bleed backgrounds
PMS Spot-Color Business Cards
Spot-color printing uses designated ink colors rather than reproducing every part of the design through a full-color process. It works especially well for simple branding that relies on one or two specific colors.

- One- or two-color designs
- Typography-focused layouts
- Traditional professional cards

A good business card gives someone enough information to recognize who you are, understand your role, and contact you later without making the design feel crowded.
- Your name
- Job title
- Company or organization name
- Logo
- Phone number
- Email address
- Website
- Relevant social profile
- QR code when useful
Keep It Focused
You do not need to use every possible field. Prioritize the information someone actually needs to remember your business and take the next step.
What Are Custom Business Cards?
Custom business cards are small printed cards personalized with a person or organization's branding and contact information.
Standard U.S. business cards typically measure 3.5 x 2 inches and may be printed on one or both sides with a logo, name, job title, phone number, email address, website, QR code, and other brand information.

Custom Business Card FAQs

A standard U.S. business card measures 3.5 x 2 inches. It can be designed horizontally or vertically.
What information should I put on a business card?
Common information includes your name, job title, company name, logo, phone number, email address, website, and other relevant contact details. A QR code can also be added when useful.
Should my business card be horizontal or vertical?
Either orientation can work. Horizontal cards provide more room across the page for traditional contact layouts, while vertical cards can create a more distinctive, stacked design.
Can business cards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Printing on both sides provides additional room for branding, QR codes, services, social profiles, taglines, or other supporting information.
What is full-color business card printing?
Full-color printing is designed for artwork containing many colors, photography, gradients, illustrations, and detailed graphics.
What is spot-color business card printing?
Spot-color printing uses designated ink colors and is especially useful for simple designs built around one or two specific brand colors.
What is a PMS color?
PMS refers to the Pantone Matching System, a standardized color system used to identify specific ink colors for more consistent color matching.

Edge-to-edge or full-bleed designs are available with appropriate product and artwork setup. Extend artwork into the required bleed area and keep important content inside the safe zone.
