Here’s how to take one business card template and make UK cards, 85 by 55 millimetres, for your whole team!
Pick one of five UK card designs, then type the name, role, phone, and email. Download the PDF when it looks right!
The PDF has no watermark, even without an account! Then sign up free and save the design, so it’s ready to use again.
Retyping a card for every new starter? No thanks. Just add each teammate as a row in a CSV file.
Every finished card costs one credit, so four people use four credits. And there they are… the same layout, with a new name on each PDF!
Pick your card design and make your team’s cards at thirds.ai!
What size is a UK business card?
A UK business card is 85 by 55 millimetres, and every thirds.ai business card template makes a PDF at exactly that size. UK printers list it as their standard size, for example Vistaprint UK and instantprint, both checked on 2 October 2026. A US card is a different shape, so start from a template that is already the UK size.
Two more print facts matter before you order. Most UK print shops ask for 3 millimetres of bleed on each edge, so they want artwork at 91 by 61 millimetres. They also ask you to keep text at least 3 millimetres inside the cut line. The instantprint bleed guide explains both (checked 2 October 2026). The thirds.ai PDF is the finished 85 by 55 card, with the text well inside the edge. Ask your print shop whether that's the file they want. If they ask for bleed, ask your AI assistant for a 91 by 61 millimetre version of the same design.
Which UK business card template should you pick?
Pick the template whose colours and mark fit your kind of work, then add your own logo and colours in the editor. All five take the same name, role, and contact lines.
- The Studio card suits a studio or agency that wants its name big.
- The Harbour card suits a shop, in teal and coral.
- The Ember card suits a cafe or roastery, in brown and cream.
- The Marlow card suits a firm that wants a quiet, classic look.
- The Kestrel card suits an outdoor brand, in moss green and rust.
How to make it
The quickest way is to start from one of the five templates above, so the layout and the UK size are already right. You can also ask your AI assistant for a card. Either way, you end up with one design that makes a matching card for everyone on your team.
Here's the template way.
- Open the Studio business card template, or any of the five, and click Use this template.
- Open Data and type your name, role, and contact lines.
- Click Export, then Save and export PDF, and download the file.
To put the card in your brand, add your logo and colours, then click Save. The template editor page shows the rest of the workspace.
If you'd rather use ChatGPT or Claude, connect thirds.ai first. Give it your logo and the lines for the card, and ask for a UK business card at 85 by 55 millimetres. Once you like the design, each person's card is one plain request away.
When you need cards for the whole team, make them all at once from one spreadsheet. Open Batches, choose your saved card design, and paste your rows or load a CSV file. The first row names the columns, and Download a starter CSV gives you that row ready to fill. Here are three rows for a made-up studio.

Check the rows and click Make 3 files. Each card uses one credit, and a free account gets 50 a month, which covers a small team. Download the ZIP when the cards are ready. PDF mail merge from a CSV covers larger lists and how to retry a row.
