Why VistaPrint?
Make your introductions sharper, brighter and more impactful with custom business cards by VistaPrint.
Wherever you are (and whatever you do) as a business, VistaPrint has the options you need to create custom business cards that reflect your brand and get you remembered. Choose from standard sizes at 3.5" x 2", plus unique shapes like square, circle, oval and leaf, so your card fits your style whether you're handing it out at a trade show, tucking it into a client's folder or passing it to a new lead at a networking event. Every template is professionally designed with safe margins and bleed areas built in, so text, logos and images print exactly where you place them – no guessing, no cut-off edges. Plus, you can preview your design in 3D before you order, so you know exactly what you're getting before your cards arrive.
When it comes to papers and finishes, we have options that do more than look good. They tell people who you are, and how you do things. Our thicker, uncoated stocks lean into minimalism and luxury, giving your cards a specialty feel that suits consultants, architects and anyone selling trust over flash. Glossy finishes make colors and photography pop, making them a natural fit for creatives, photographers and brands built on bold visuals. Our soft touch cards have a velvety, matte-like texture that feels premium in hand – a popular choice for high-end retail businesses or networking moments where the handoff itself makes an impression. Pearl brings a subtle shimmer for understated elegance, while linen's texture adds warmth and craft to your design. All our cards are printed with our digital printing process, which keeps fine details – including scannable QR codes – crisp and accurate every time. For cards that need to do even more, embossed gloss, raised foil and foil accent finishes use metallic foil or glossy layers to create a dimensional, light-catching effect.
Whether you need fast-delivery cards for an event next week, loyalty and appointment cards to keep customers and clients coming back or a full stack for onboarding new employees, VistaPrint makes custom business card printing simple, fast and built to fit your branding.

That depends on the shape you choose. Here's a rundown of our business card sizes and thicknesses by shape:
- Standard: 3.5" x 2"
- Rounded Corners: 3.5" x 2"
- Square: 2.5" x 2.5"
- Circle: 2.5" diameter
- Oval: 3.5" x 2"
- Leaf: 3.5" x 2"
Business card thickness is measured in "points," abbreviated as "pt." The higher the number, the thicker the card. Standard business card printing uses 14pt paper stock, but weights can vary by paper type. For instance, our ultra thick custom business cards are 28pt, and our premium plus cards come in at 18pt.
Note: Square and circle business cards exceed the height of a standard wallet. Consider one of our other options if you're looking for wallet-sized business cards.
Also, when designing or choosing a business card template, remember that dimensions may include a "bleed area," which is extra space for images, patterns or design elements that extend beyond the cut edges. This helps prevent having white edges around your finished card.
See our business card size guide for detailed info on business card sizes in pixels, bleed area and more.

In fact, here are some of our customers’ favorite ideas for how you can use the back of your business card.

You want to find something that matches up well with both your industry and your personality. Thicker, heavier stocks can work well for businesses trying to project strength and reliability. More textured, unique finishes are a great choice for craftspeople and artists. And if you go for a standard or rounded corner business card, finishes like embossed gloss and foil accents can help almost any design be extra eye-catching. Special finishes appear on the front of the card, while the back has a smooth, matte surface that’s easy to write on.
Looking for something a little extra durable, eye-catching or, well… just plain extra? We also offer alternative options like plastic business cardsand even painted edge business cards.
