What is a business card?

It is a small card, printed with ones name and contact information.  Often including a logo of the business they work for.

Shape and size of business cards can range slightly, but the standard business card is 3.5" x 2" inches - about the same size as a credit card. Despite the small size, you can still get your message across without the need to pack your card with information.
