Why SVG for Business Card Printing
Business card print shops require or strongly prefer vector artwork.
- 300 DPI at 3.5×2 inches: SVG renders at this exact spec without file size penalty
- Retina-quality edges: vector paths print with microscopic sharpness vs jagged PNG pixels
- Spot color: SVG paths define clean boundaries for Pantone spot color printing
- Online printers (Vistaprint, MOO): all accept SVG or PDF (SVG exported as PDF)
Preparing Business Card SVG
Set up your business card SVG for professional print production.
- Set artboard to 3.5 × 2 inches (plus 0.125 inch bleed on all sides)
- Use CMYK equivalent colors — SVG uses RGB, note your Pantone matches for the printer
- Convert all fonts to outlines/paths before exporting to eliminate font dependency
- Set the SVG document units to inches or mm for accurate print dimensions
