# Free Business Card Maker

Type your name, title and contacts, pick one of four designs and a colour, and add your logo. Print ten cards with crop marks on US Letter or A4 at home, or save one card at its exact size as a PDF for a print shop. US 3.5 × 2 in or EU 85 × 55 mm, free, no sign-up.

The card updates as you type. Your logo is read on your own computer and never uploaded; the draft and the logo are kept in this browser until you start over.

## Preview

In the print dialog choose your printer or Save as PDF, and set the scale to 100% (Actual size) so the cards keep their size.

## Business card design tips

A card is read in a few seconds, so give your name the largest type and keep everything else small and calm. Use one brand colour and your logo, not a picture of text. Leave at least 4 mm (1/8 inch) between the text and the edge, because cutting is never perfectly straight. Check every number and address twice before you print a batch: a typo on a card costs the whole run.

## Match your card and your email signature

Use the same colour, title and contacts in the [email signature generator](https://salesbond.app/tools/email-signature-generator/), so the people you meet see the same brand on the card in their pocket and in your emails. After a meeting, follow up with a clear offer from the [quote generator](https://salesbond.app/tools/quote-generator/).

## Frequently asked questions

### What size is a business card?

In the United States and Canada a business card is 3.5 × 2 inches (88.9 × 50.8 mm). In most of Europe it is 85 × 55 mm, about the size of a credit card. Japan, China and Australia use slightly different sizes, so ask your print shop if you order there.

### How do I print business cards at home?

Choose your paper, click Print sheet and print at 100% scale (Actual size), not Fit to page. Use matte card stock of about 200–300 g/m² (80–110 lb cover) if your printer takes it. Cut along the lines between the crop marks with a ruler and a craft knife or a paper trimmer.

### How many business cards fit on one sheet?

Ten: two columns of five cards fit on US Letter with 3.5 × 2 inch cards, and on A4 with either size. 85 × 55 mm cards on US Letter fit eight, because a fifth row would run into the edge your printer cannot print.

### Can I print on Avery business card sheets?

Yes. 3.5 × 2 inch cards on US Letter use the same layout as Avery 8371 and similar perforated sheets: ten cards in two columns of five with 0.75 inch side margins and 0.5 inch at the top and bottom. Print one test page on plain paper and hold it against a sheet before you use the cards.

### How do I order cards from a print shop?

Click Print one card and choose Save as PDF: you get a PDF page of exactly the card’s size. Many print shops ask for a bleed, an extra 1/8 inch or 3 mm of background around the card. If yours does, pick the classic or minimal design with a white background or ask the shop to add the bleed.

### What should a business card include?

Your name and job title, the company and its logo, one phone number, an email address and the website. Add the address only if clients visit you, and one social profile or a short tagline if it helps. Leave white space around the text: five contact lines are the most a card can hold.

### Is my information or logo stored or sent anywhere?

No. The card is made in your browser, and your logo is read and resized on your own computer. The draft and the logo are saved only in this browser so you can come back to them. Nothing is uploaded to SalesBond or anyone else. Click Start over to clear it.
