FAQ

What size is a business card in Malaysia?

The Malaysian standard is 89 × 54 mm (about 3.5 × 2.13 in) — some printers quote 90 × 54 mm.

What resolution should a business card be?

Supply artwork at 300 DPI at final size. Design at the artwork size (trim + bleed) — for an 89 × 54 mm card with 1.5 mm bleed that is 92 × 57 mm ≈ 1087 × 673 px.

Why is the pixel size based on the bleed?

Because your file is set up larger than the finished card — trim plus bleed. If you design at the trim size only, you cannot add bleed later without resampling. So the useful pixel target is the artwork (bleed) size.
