Template Guide
Understanding the Template Lines
Every business card template has three guides — here's exactly what each one means.
Red Line — Cut Line
This is the final size of your product. The printer cuts exactly on this line. Your background and images should extend beyond this line into the bleed area.
Extend backgrounds past this line
Blue Line — Safety Line
Keep all important content — text, logos, phone numbers — inside this line. Anything outside may get trimmed during cutting.
Keep all text & logos inside
Outer Edge — Bleed Area
Extend your background colors and full-bleed images to the outer edge. This prevents white gaps from appearing on the edges of your printed product.
Extend background to outer edge

About Our Business Cards
Our free business card templates are sized to the exact print dimensions used in production — including the bleed area — so you don't have to calculate anything. Each template shows the red cut line and blue safety line, the same guides used by our production team.
We offer two sizes: the industry-standard 3.5" × 2" and the modern Square 2.5" × 2.5". Both are available with square or rounded corners, printed on premium 16PT cardstock with Matte or Gloss finish, in quantities from 250 to 2,500.
