UK business card sizes

Most UK business cards are printed at 85 × 55 mm. Choosing the right size — and setting bleed correctly — avoids crops that look amateur once they leave the press.

Standard UK size

The common UK business card trim size is 85 × 55 mm (often called a standard UK card). It fits wallets and card holders used across Britain and sits comfortably in most CRM and networking contexts.

  • Trim size: 85 × 55 mm
  • Add 3 mm bleed on every side (artwork typically 91 × 61 mm)
  • Keep important text and logos at least 5 mm inside the trim

Other popular formats

Square cards and credit-card sizes are useful when you want a distinctive leave-behind. Confirm pocket fit with your team before ordering large quantities.

  • Square cards — impactful for creative brands; check wallet fit
  • Credit-card size — familiar dimensions for loyalty-style cards
  • Rounded corners — specify on the product options where available
