What size is a business card?

3.5 × 2 inches in the US and Canada; 85 × 55 mm in most other countries.

Can I print business cards at home?

Yes, on perforated card sheets made for home printers, but a print shop gives cleaner edges and thicker card.

Should I put a QR code on my business card?

A QR code on the back that opens your website, booking page or menu is a useful extra, as long as it's large enough to scan (about 0.8 in or 2 cm across).
