*While preparing your file for print, you’ll have to exclude the bleeds layer.

Choose the size.
To design your Business Card, you'll have to choose the size. There are only 2 standard sizes: the International — 85x55 mm (3.35x2.17 in) and the US — 89x51 mm (3.5x2 in).
Set bleeds.
Simply extend your Business Card design to the bleed line — add 3mm (0.125 in) at each side and include all necessary information within the bleed area.

This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Business Card. At the same time, you'll avoid having needless white spaces at the edges of your business card.
Select 1 or 2 sided print.
If you need to include several blocks of information (logo, company data, contact info, etc.) better go for double-sided print, so as not to overcrowd your Business Card.

If you want to keep your Business Card concise and only add the most important data, better choose the single-sided print.
Settle high resolution.
To ensure you get high-quality Business Cards, choose 300 DPI resolution while designing your business card in Illustrator or any other tool you're using.
Prepare file for printing.
- Set 300 DPI resolution
- Choose RGB print
- Save the file in PDF/X-4

Well done! Now you can print your Business Card all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
