What size are standard Australian business cards?
Standard Australian business card size: 90mm × 55mm
Should you go standard or custom?
Stick with Standard (90×55) if:
- You’re in a conservative industry
- You want your card to fit in standard wallets/cardholders
- You’re on a budget (custom sizes cost more)
Go Custom if:
- You’re in a creative field (vertical, square, rounded corners)
- You want to physically stand out in a stack of cards
- Your brand is about breaking conventions
Popular custom sizes:
- Vertical 55×90mm (same dimensions, rotated)
- Square 55×55mm (stands out, but doesn’t fit standard holders)
- Mini 85×50mm (cute, but easy to lose)
- Oversized 90×65mm (bold, but won’t fit cardholders)
What paper stocks do you offer?
Paper stock options vary by product and print type. Standard options often include:
- 300 GSM Matte
- 300 GSM Linen
- 300 GSM Cotton
- 300 GSM Metallic
- 325 GSM Artboard
- 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate
We also offer selected flat foil, coloured paper, and duplex stocks on certain products. For the exact options available, please check the relevant product page.
What’s the difference between Spot UV and Scodix?
Both finishes add a raised, glossy effect to selected parts of your design, but Scodix is the more premium option.
Spot UV uses a high-gloss UV varnish to create contrast and texture on a matte surface, while Scodix combines digital embossing with gloss or metallic varnish for a more dimensional, luxury finish.
On Paperlust Print Shop, Spot UV Business Cards are printed on 350 GSM Heavyweight with Velvet Laminate, while Scodix Business Cards use 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate.
