Question

Does card size affect design etiquette?

Answer

Yes, size and etiquette are linked. Standard sizes exist because they fit the wallets, envelopes, and racks your card has to live in.

Card typeStandard size
Business card3.5 x 2 in
Greeting card5 x 7 in
  • Non-standard sizes can absolutely work when they serve a purpose.
  • A square card stands out, but only if the layout is designed for that format from the start.
  • Do not just squeeze a rectangular design into a new shape, redesign it for the size.
