Business cards in the United Kingdom
85 by 55 mm, A4 sheets, and a card that updates itself.
In the United Kingdom a business card is 85 by 55 mm. Design one here for nothing, download a print-ready PDF for any British printer or a sheet of ten for A4, and keep a digital business card on your own link.
What you get in the United Kingdom
85 by 55 mm is what British printers quote for, and A4 is the paper in the printer, so the print-at-home sheet is drawn for A4 with ten cards and a cut line around each one.
A digital card is handy where a phone is already out: a trade counter, a site, a meeting room. The code opens your details, and one tap puts them into the other person's contacts.
The maker, the templates and the print-ready downloads are free in the United Kingdom as they are everywhere else. No account is asked for, nothing is stamped across the file, and the design is drawn at 85 × 55 mm so a printer has nothing to scale.
The digital business card is the other half of it. It lives on your own link, shows a QR code that opens it, saves into a phone in one tap, and changes the moment you edit it, so a card you handed over in the United Kingdom last year still carries the number you use today.

How to make a business card in the United Kingdom
Write the words
Your name, what you do, the company, and the two or three ways you want people to reach you.
Pick a design
Choose a template, then its colours and its lettering. The card on screen follows every pick.
Check the size
85 × 55 mm is the size used in the United Kingdom, and the maker draws it by default. Three other sizes are there if your printer asks for one.
Download, or publish
Take the print-ready PDF to a printer, or the sheet of ten for your own paper. Publish the digital business card and your link and its code are live.
Questions from the United Kingdom
What is the standard UK business card size?
85 by 55 mm. It is the maker's default for the UK, and the 3.5 by 2 inch American size is there too if you are printing for a customer abroad.
Do you charge VAT in the UK?
The price shown for the United Kingdom is turned from our US-dollar price into pounds. The checkout shows the exact amount before you pay, and your invoice records what you paid.
Is a business card the same as a visiting card?
Yes. They are two words for one thing, and the word changes with the country rather than the card. This page uses the word used in the United Kingdom.
Does the person I give it to need an app?
No. No app, no download and no account on their side. The link or the QR code opens in the browser their phone already has, and your details save to their contacts in seconds.
