The Ultimate UK Guide to Business Card Size & Dimension

The Ultimate UK Guide to Business Card Size & Dimension Table of Contents TL;DR: Know Your Biz Card Basics The UK standard business card size is 85mm x 55mm. Stick to this for a professional, wallet-friendly card. Card thickness (stock) matters. Avoid flimsy 6pt paper. Choose 12pt-16pt for a quality standard feel, and 18pt+ for a premium, luxury touch. ‘A8’ is not the standard. It’s slightly smaller (74mm x 52mm). Always specify 85mm x 55mm to your printer. Focus on feel and finish. A matte or gloss laminate and special touches like rounded corners make your card memorable. When in doubt, keep it standard and elevate with quality. A well-printed, substantial standard-sized card beats a awkwardly sized, cheap one every time.
