Answer 1
What is the standard business card size, and what page size should you set in CorelDRAW when using 3 mm bleed?
✓ Standard card is 3.5 × 2 in (89 × 51 mm); adding 3 mm bleed on each side gives a 95 × 57 mm working page.

Answer 2
Where must text and logos be placed relative to the trim edge?
✓ Important content stays at least 5 mm inside the trim edge (the safe area) so a slight cutting shift never slices text or logos.

Answer 3
Why should a business card be designed in CMYK instead of RGB?
✓ Printers print with CMYK ink, so designing in CMYK shows colors close to the final printed result; RGB screen colors often print dull or wrong.

Answer 5
✓ The front carries identity — logo, business name, tagline — to impress and be remembered. The back carries information — person, title, phone, email, address — so the client can make contact easily.
