Visiting Card Size in India: The Complete Guide (with Bleed & Safe Zone)

Quick answer: the standard visiting card size in India is 3.5 × 2 inches (89 × 51 mm). When designing, add 3 mm bleed on every side, making your artboard 95 × 57 mm, and keep text at least 3 mm inside the trim line.

Bleed is extra background that extends beyond the trim line. Cutting machines can shift by a millimetre, so bleed prevents thin white edges on your final card.
