Some of the more common available dimension options are:

• Document Trim Size (Horizontal): 3.43" x 1.93" / 87mm x 49mm / 1028 x 579 pixels
• Document Trim Size (Vertical): 1.93" x 3.43" / 49mm x 87mm / 579 x 1028 pixels

• Full Bleed Size (Horizontal): 3.54" x 2.05" / 90mm x 52mm / 1062 x 615 pixels
• Full Bleed Size (Vertical): 2.05" x 3.54" / 52mm x 90mm / 615 x 1062 pixels

What is the primary reason that someone would choose one dimension above another? Preference is one possible motivation as larger cards stacked with smaller cards will protrude in comparison to the smaller dimension versions, which ensures it will not be lost in the shuffle if stacked together. Likewise, larger cards will conceal the smaller dimension business cards to master greater attention and foucs when stacked together.

Another reason that larger business cards may sometimes be required to smaller ones is due to the bleed of the artwork graphics. The full bleed variety dimensions are suggested for finished artwork for best results in most cases.
