What size should a business card template be?+
Two standards, and they differ by region: 3.5x2 inches in the US, 85x55mm in the UK and Europe. Include both, because a buyer who orders the wrong one blames the file.
Do I need to include bleed?+
Yes if buyers will use a print shop. Most printers want 3mm or 1/8 inch of bleed, and a template without it gets rejected at upload — which is the single most common bad review in this category.
Should the template be editable, and in what?+
Say exactly which app it opens in and what can be changed. “Editable text” without naming the software is the vaguest promise in this category and generates the most refund requests.
Is a double-sided design worth including?+
Almost always. A back with a logo or a single line costs you little and lets the buyer print a card that looks finished, which is what they are comparing against a bought design.
What do business-card buyers search for?+
Business card template, editable business card, [trade] business card, printable business card. The trade word is what separates you from a very crowded generic listing.
Can I sell a business card template made with AI on Etsy?+
Yes, with disclosure. Etsy allows AI-assisted designs under its Creativity Standards provided you are clear about how it was made.
