The right card depends on who receives it and where it ends up. A card handed out by the hundred at an exhibition has a different job from one given to a client in a private meeting at DIFC. Use this table as a starting point, then open the card type that matches.
| If you need | Choose | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Cards for a whole team or an exhibition | Affordable cards or laminated cards | A 350 GSM stock keeps the card firm at a low unit cost, and short runs stop you stocking outdated details. |
| A card that survives wallets, cars and site visits | PVC plastic cards | Waterproof and hard to tear, which suits hospitality, real estate and trades. |
| A soft, premium feel in client meetings | Velvet cards | The soft-touch coating feels different from the first touch, which suits finance, consulting and executive roles. |
| A logo that catches the light | Spot UV cards or foil cards | Selective shine or metallic foil draws the eye to the one thing you want remembered. |
| A message about sustainability | Eco-friendly cards | Recycled stock backs up the message with the material itself. |
| A card nobody else at the table has | Textured cards or translucent cards | Texture or frosted transparency makes the card feel designed, which works for creative and tech brands. |
Not sure between two options? Send us your logo on WhatsApp, and we will suggest a stock and finish based on how the cards will be used.
Size affects how a card fits a wallet or cardholder, how much room your logo and contact details get, and whether Arabic and English can share the card comfortably.
The usual size in Dubai is 90 x 55 mm, with 85 x 55 mm as the slim option. Some printers quote 90 x 50 mm, so if a design was made for another printer, check the height before sending it to print. A US card is 3.5 x 2 inches (about 89 x 51 mm), which is worth knowing when you design for international clients.
| Format | Trim size (mm) | In cm | With 3 mm bleed (mm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 90 x 55 | 9 x 5.5 | 96 x 61 | Most professionals and formal settings |
| Slim | 85 x 55 | 8.5 x 5.5 | 91 x 61 | A sleeker look that still fits standard cardholders |
| Folded (opens flat) | 180 x 55 | 18 x 5.5 | 186 x 61 | Bilingual layouts, maps or short service lists; folds to 90 x 55 |
When you check business card size dimensions for artwork, add 3 mm bleed on every side and keep important text at least 3 mm inside the trim edge. Folded and custom sizes are quoted on request.
In centimetres, the standard card is 9 x 5.5 cm, and the slim card is 8.5 x 5.5 cm. In inches, that is roughly 3.54 x 2.17 and 3.35 x 2.17. Build your artwork in millimetres, since printers in the UAE work in the metric system.
Choose 90 x 55 mm for law, banking, government, and other formal settings where a familiar card is expected.
Choose 85 x 55 mm for a slightly sleeker look, common with design and tech brands.
Choose a folded card when you need room for a bilingual layout or a short list of services.
Custom-sized business cards work when the shape is part of the brand: square cards, mini cards, rounded corners, or die-cut outlines. The trade-off is practical. Unusual sizes may not slide into standard wallets and cardholders, so a card that stands out on the table can be left behind afterwards. Keep key details away from the edges, and ask for a quote before you finalise the artwork. Exprintmart quotes custom shapes and sizes on request.
Weight is the first thing people notice when they take a card. Most everyday cards are 350 GSM. Thick business cards start from around 400 GSM, and 600 GSM double-thick cards suit executive and board-level use, where the card should feel substantial.
Thickness pays off with embossing, foil and velvet lamination, where a firm base carries the finish properly. It is less useful for folded cards, because very heavy stock does not fold cleanly. If you hand out several hundred cards at an event, 350 GSM is usually the better balance. Keep thick cards for the people you most want to remember you.
Business card finishing is what you add after printing: lamination, spot UV, foil, embossing, or rounded corners. Finishing changes how a card feels and how long it lasts, and it is often the difference between a card that is kept and one that ends up in a drawer.
| Finish | What the receiver notices | What to plan for | Good match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matte lamination | Clean, understated, low glare | Colours look slightly softer than gloss | Corporate, healthcare, tech |
| Gloss lamination | Vivid colour and sharp photos | Shows fingerprints more easily | Retail, food and beverage |
| Velvet (soft-touch) | Silky, premium feel | Dark solid colours can show scuffs over time | Finance, legal, consulting |
| Spot UV | Logo or pattern catches the light | Works best on bold shapes, not fine text | Real estate, creative agencies |
| Foil stamping | Gold, silver, or rose gold shine | Fine lines can fill in, so keep artwork bold | Luxury, finance, law |
| Embossing | Raised, tactile logo | Needs thick stock, around 400 GSM or more | Legal, luxury, hospitality |
| Rounded corners | Softer, modern shape | Helps corners resist creasing over time | Any card carried loose |
One or two finishes done well beat four competing on the same card. Velvet lamination with a gold foil logo, or matte lamination with a spot UV name, are pairings that stay easy to read.
Digital printing suits short runs and quick turnarounds. Offset printing is usually the better choice for larger runs of around 500 cards or more, where colour consistency across the whole run matters most. We will recommend the method when you send your quantity.
Send PDF or vector files in CMYK, at 300 DPI minimum for images, with 3 mm bleed.
Keep text at 8 pt or larger, and go larger on dark backgrounds.
Supply the foil or UV shape as a separate layer, so it lands exactly where you want it.
Avoid hairlines inside foil and spot UV areas, because they can fill in.
Business in Dubai is relationship-led, and the card exchange is a small moment of respect. A card that feels considered supports what you say in the room. A luxury card usually combines three things: a heavier stock, a soft or metallic finish, and clean, uncluttered artwork.
Many Dubai professionals print English on one side and Arabic on the reverse. It keeps each layout uncluttered and shows respect in meetings with local and regional partners. Leave extra space if your Arabic text needs a larger point size to stay readable.
Real estate agents, private bankers, lawyers, consultants, and hospitality managers often hand over a card in a one-to-one moment, so the client keeps it. In these cases, a premium finish makes a real difference. For large teams, apply luxury finishing to senior roles and print standard cards for everyone else.
Upload a print-ready file, or ask our in-house design team to build a layout from your logo, colours and fonts. We accept PDF, Illustrator or EPS, PSD or TIFF files. Short runs are available, so you do not need to order more cards than you will use.

It is 90 x 55 mm (9 x 5.5 cm). A slim 85 x 55 mm option is also common, and some printers quote 90 x 50 mm. All three fit standard cardholders.
Yes. We quote square, mini, rounded, and die-cut cards on request. Send your idea and quantity, and we will confirm what is possible.
For everyday use, 350 GSM is firm and cost-effective. For a more substantial feel, choose 400 GSM or above, and 600 GSM double-thick for executive cards.
It is any treatment added after printing, including lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, and rounded corners.
Velvet lamination combined with a foil logo or spot UV detail is a common choice. Keep the artwork simple so the finish stays the focus.
