What is a business card?

A business card is a card that a person gives to someone else to show their name, affiliation, title, contact information, etc. They are exchanged as part of self-introductions or handed out as a professional courtesy.

Business cards are usually given to people you are meeting for the first time, so they need to be representative of the person.
For example, if it is a business card for a corporation, it is desirable to have information about the company, contact information, and position within the company (department, title, etc.) in addition to your name.
You can put any information you need on your personal business card to express yourself, and there are no restrictions on what you can put on it.

business card size

The size of business cards follows the golden ratio, and in Japan they are generally made in size 4, which is 91 x 55 mm.
If you can't put enough information on just the front and back sides, we also recommend a bi-fold card, which is made by doubling the size of the paper and applying a bi-fold process. When folded horizontally (182 x 55 mm) or vertically (91 x 110 mm), it becomes the same size as a regular business card and doubles the amount of information.

Also, the European and American size of 89 x 51 mm is used overseas, which is slightly smaller than the general size in Japan. This is a good thing to keep in mind if you have the opportunity to work abroad.
