It is built for practical local use: networking events, trade jobs, consulting, allied health, hospitality, real estate and small business introductions.

Unlike generic template pages, this guide explains the card size, bleed, safe zone, PDF export and front/back layout decisions Australian printers and clients care about.

  3. Add logo space and a QR code
    Reserve space for your logo and add a QR link to a website, booking page, digital vCard, portfolio, menu or social profile.
  4. Check front and back previews
    Use the front for identity and contact details, then use the back for a tagline, QR code or short service promise.
  5. Export a print-ready file
    Download PDF for print, or PNG/JPG for email signatures, approvals and quick digital sharing.

Australian business card size and print setup

A common Australian business card size is 90 x 55 mm, with 85 x 55 mm also used by many printers. This page uses 90 x 55 mm by default and includes a 3 mm bleed and 4 mm safe zone so edge-to-edge colour and trimmed cards stay professional.

Keep names, phone numbers, QR codes and email addresses inside the safe zone. Use bleed only for background colours, images or design accents that intentionally run to the edge.

  • Default size: 90 x 55 mm
  • Useful alternatives: 85 x 55 mm and 3.5 x 2 in
  • Best export for print: PDF
  • Best export for sharing: PNG or JPG

Australian business card etiquette and content

Australian business cards are usually direct and practical. A card should quickly answer who you are, what you do and how to reach you. For local services, adding suburb, state or service area can improve trust.

If your ABN is relevant to the relationship, keep it small and legible. Many small businesses prefer to use the back side for QR codes, appointment links, portfolio links or a compact list of services.

Template ideas for Australian businesses

  • Corporate and consultant templates for accountants, bookkeepers, finance and legal services.
  • Trade and construction layouts with bold contact details and a service-area line.
  • Restaurant, beauty and wellness cards with QR links to booking pages or menus.
  • Real estate cards with a QR code to listings, appraisal forms or agent profiles.
  • Freelancer and startup cards with a stronger colour accent and simple back-side tagline.

Download and export options

Use PDF when you plan to print. PDF keeps the business card dimensions consistent and is the safest file to send to a local printer. Use PNG or JPG when you need a quick image preview, email attachment or social profile graphic.

For QR codes, test the link before printing and leave enough quiet space around the code so it remains scannable after trimming.

Why this page is more useful than a generic business card maker

Generic tools often stop at templates. This page combines an editor with Australian size guidance, bleed and safe-zone overlays, front/back preview, local sample details, QR code planning and print-ready export guidance.

What size are business cards in Australia?

90 x 55 mm is common in Australia, while 85 x 55 mm is also widely accepted. Always check your printer specs before a large print run.

Can I download a print-ready PDF?

Can I make a QR code business card?

Yes. Add a QR link to your website, booking page, vCard, menu, portfolio or social profile and preview it on the card.

Should my Australian business card include an ABN?

Include an ABN only when it helps the client relationship or is expected in your industry. Keep it small and inside the safe zone.

Can I design both front and back?

Yes. Use the front for identity and contact details, and the back for a QR code, tagline, service list or appointment link.

Which templates work best for Australian small businesses?

Consultants and professional services usually need clean corporate templates. Trades, hospitality, beauty and real estate can use stronger visual categories and QR links.
