A card solves one problem: make them remember who you are and how to reach you in three seconds. The 30 layouts below are already set out the way Freelance usually does it, with sample content in your industry's voice — edit and export.
A short rule at the left anchors the name and everything else goes to whitespace; easiest to set when the name is short and the title long.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A 0.32mm hairline separates the name from the details, and it will not break on press.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A pattern corner mark sits top right and the rest is type — the most whitespace of any layout here.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The most spacious version plus one bottom-right QR code: a large name, one contact line, and the code keeps to its own corner instead of competing for attention.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The name centred in serif, a short divider rule centring the two halves on the gutter.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A round seal on the right carries the initial of the name; identity and contact details split into two stacks on the left.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The name’s initial blown up to 30mm as a translucent watermark, with the body taking only the remaining space.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The one-line intro carries the card while the name and contact details step back below it.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A seal mark in the bottom right acts as a corner stamp and all the body text stays left aligned.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A vermilion seal pressed top right, a QR code bottom right, a vertical bar beside the serif name — for those who want the literary feel and “scan to save this card” at the same time.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A 5mm colour band crosses the whole card at mid-height, the name reversed on it, the information below.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A round disc carries the emblem top left, the name sits tight to its right, the rest of the information is pushed down.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
Three hairlines of decreasing length at the top left set the rhythm; the body starts below them.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The whole card is one dark field, the name in light type at the top left, everything else given to whitespace.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The name set large in vertical columns on the right, title and company in small vertical columns on the left, one horizontal contact line at the foot — how a traditional calling card reads.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
A solid band across the top bleeds off three edges and carries the name; the remaining two thirds are left for the body and air.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
The upper half is a photo reaching three edges, the lower half is text; the photo’s bottom edge is computed from the measured top of the text.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
The front keeps the name at the top and the contact details in the lower half, with the middle given to the whitespace portrait needs; the back is one full-bleed photo with a line of white type — portfolio or storefront shots go on the back while the front still prints.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
A full-width photo runs through the middle of the portrait card, name and title above it and contact details below; the band steps back from the measured ink of both stacks and never rides over type.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
A full-height photo band on the left (bleeding off top and bottom), one full column of text on the right: name and title at the top, contact details pressed down line by line. Portrait proportions can afford an 18mm band — the same band on a landscape card is a narrow column that squeezes text into two lines.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
Full-width photo across the top (bleeding off left, right and top), name and title in the middle, contact details down to the foot, and along the bottom a seal on the left with a 15mm code on the right. The photo’s bottom edge is computed from the measured top of the text and never rides over type; the contact lines run full width, so the web address and the address both stay on paper (not wrapping to two lines is its bottom line).
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
The photo takes everything above the text, corners rounded at 2.5mm; the text block sits along the bottom edge.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The photo fills the card and the text sits on a 52% ink backing, so bleed and contrast both hold.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A full-height photo band on the right (bleeding off right, top and bottom), name and contact details in the left half; the mirror of “Photo left, text right”, and steadier for long names.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
A true circular headshot slot on the left (an ID photo drops in already round), name and five contact items on the right — the version clinicians, teachers and consultants use most.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
The front carries only name and contact details (the most spacious version), the back is one full-bleed photo over a backing — put the portfolio or storefront shot on the back and the front still prints.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
Chinese left, English right, one vertical divider between; both columns share width and baseline, only the bound fields change.
90×54mm · 3mm bleed all round · 90×50mm · 3mm bleed all round · 85×55mm · 3mm bleed all round · 88.9×50.8mm (3.5×2in) · 3mm bleed on all four sides
Portrait with Chinese on top and English below, a divider flourish between the two; both halves share the column width and keep their own margins.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
One Chinese line followed directly by its English line, three name pairs read down the card; contact details are set only once — phones and web addresses need no translation.
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
Chinese fills the whole upper block and English is kept in a pale band at the very bottom — the “Chinese-led, English for a glance” kind of card. The band’s opacity is 0.08: it only layers, it is not a backing (that set of rules is for text over photos).
54×90mm · 3mm bleed all round
Every phone, email and web address here is placeholder sample content — it will not connect or deliver. Replace them with your own and the card is ready.
The finished card is 90×54mm, the file 96×60mm (3mm bleed all round), text 3mm from the trim line, bitmaps 300dpi. Full spec in the size and bleed reference。
