How to Print Business Cards at Home
Choose Your Template
Select the Avery® template number that matches your business card sheets. Check the packaging for the template number (e.g., 5371, 8371, 28878).
Edit Your Cards Online
Click any card on the sheet to add your name, title, company, phone, email, and website. Use "Copy to All" to fill all 10 cards with the same information.
Export & Print
Download as PDF for direct printing, or Excel/Word for further customization. Print on your Avery® business card sheets for professional results.
Separate & Use
For micro-perforated sheets, gently fold and tear along the perforations. For Clean Edge sheets, simply push the cards out for smooth, professional edges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these business card templates really free?
Yes! All our business card templates are 100% free to download and use. No hidden fees, no subscription required.
What Avery® sheets work with these templates?
We offer templates for Avery® 5371, 5911, 8371, 8376, 8471, 8871, 8873, 8875, 28371, and 28878 business card sheets. All use the standard 3.5" × 2" business card size with 10 cards per sheet.
What is the difference between micro-perforated and clean edge?
Micro-perforated cards have small perforations between cards that you tear apart, which can leave slightly rough edges. Clean Edge cards use a special die-cut process that produces smooth, professional edges with no visible perforations—ideal for making a great first impression.
Should I use laser or inkjet business card sheets?
Use laser sheets (like Avery® 5371) if you have a laser printer—they produce crisp text and sharp graphics. Use inkjet sheets (like Avery® 8371, 28878) for inkjet printers—they are coated to absorb ink properly and prevent smudging. Never use inkjet sheets in a laser printer or vice versa.
Which format should I download?
PDF is best for immediate printing with preset formatting. Excel offers the most flexibility for data manipulation—great for printing cards for multiple team members. Word is ideal for simple text editing and customization.
What printer settings should I use?
For best results: (1) Set paper type to "Card Stock" or "Thick Paper", (2) Use "Best" or "High" quality, (3) Print at actual size (100%, no scaling), (4) Use manual feed for thicker sheets. Always print a test page on regular paper first to check alignment.
Can I use non-Avery® brand business card sheets?
Yes! Many generic and store-brand business card sheets follow the same dimensions. Look for sheets that specify "Avery® 5371 compatible" or match the standard 3.5" × 2" size with 10 cards per sheet. Most Office Depot, Staples, and Amazon Basics business card sheets work perfectly.
Can I use these for commercial purposes?
Yes, our templates are free for both personal and commercial use. Use them for your business, clients, or events without any restrictions.
