Card Size

The Standard ID card size is referred to by the standard “CR80″. The official size for the most common ID card was codified by the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in the specification document ISO 7810 (Identification Cards-Physical Characteristics). The dimensions were defined as 3.375 inches wide and 2.125 inches high. The thickness is 0.030 inches (“30 mil”). This size encompasses all financial cards (“credit cards”) and most other common cards which conveniently fit in a wallet or purse.
