Template Guide

Understanding the Template Lines

Every business card template has three guides — here's exactly what each one means.

Red cut line, blue safety line for business card template

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.

About Our Business Cards

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.
