Question
How much text can I fit on a printed card?
Answer
How much text fits on a card comes down to the size of the piece and the font you choose, since larger type and tighter spaces both reduce word count.
| Card | Comfortable text |
|---|---|
| 5" x 7" invitation | About 80 to 120 words |
| 4" x 6" postcard | About 40 to 60 words on the message side |
| Business card | Essential contact info only |
- On a business card, stick to name, title, phone, email, and website.
- Leave breathing room rather than filling every inch, which keeps the card readable.
Before you finalize, test your copy against the actual dimensions using a blank template so you can see whether it fits at a comfortable font size.
