Business cards come in a variety of sizes globally, often conforming to regional standards. The most common sizes are 3.5" x 2" in North America, 85mm x 55mm (3 1/3" x 2 1/6") in Western Europe, 90mm x 50mm (3 9/16" x 2") in Eastern Europe/Asia/Africa/South America, 90mm x 54mm (3 9/16" x 2 1/8") in East Asia, and 91mm x 55mm (3 11/16" x 2 3/16") in Japan. The dimensions tend to be rounded to the nearest half-inch, centimeter, or fraction based on regional conventions. The international standard mirrors the size of a credit card for compatibility. Despite variation in size, business cards universally serve as a portable means of sharing contact information.
