What is the business card size in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:22 pm

When designing a business card in Illustrator, it is important to consider the card’s size. The standard business card size is 3.5 inches wide by 2.5 inches high.

However, there are other card sizes that are popular as well. The standard card size can be enlarged or reduced to make it fit a specific need.

When designing a business card, it is important to consider the card’s size.

There are three ways to enlarge or reduce the size of a business card in Illustrator:

1. Use the transform tools.

These tools allow you to resize the object on-the-fly. For business cards, you can use the scale tool to change the size of the card, and the rotate tool to change the orientation.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that business card sizes can vary depending on the country and/or region. It is always best to check with your local printer or graphic designer to find out the standard business card size for your area.

2. Use the rasterize tool.

With this tool, you can create a new object that is the same size as the original, but has been transformed.

3. Use the clipping paths.

With this tool, you can create a new object that is the same size as the original, but is restricted to a specific area.
