| The Avery company already makes them.
If you want to print on a sheet of them, search this newsgroup for a message
about business card templates. Bascially, design one, then use
effects/transform to make copies of the label across, then down.

| Here is the post Alexgirl is talking about (I think).

Try this, if you have Illustrator 9 or higher. I'm going to assume for
the moment that you want the cards to be printed out 2 across and 5
down, without any space between them. If this isn't right you'll need
to change some of the numbers.
1. Create one copy of the card in the upper left corner, exactly where
you want it printed. Make sure it is on one layer.
2. Target the layer for effects by clicking in the little circle on its
row of the layers palette. It should get a double circle when you do
this.
3. Effect->Distort & Transform->Transform...
4. Enter 85 mm into the Horizontal Move field, and enter 1 into the
number of copies. Click OK. You should now see a copy of the card 85
mm to the right of the first copy.
5. Again, do Effect->Distort & Transform->Transform... Depending upon
the version of Illustrator, you might get a warning message about the
effect being applied twice. This is what you want, so proceed.
6. This time enter -55 mm into the Vertical Move field, and 4 into the
number of copies. Click OK.
You should now have 10 copies of the card on the page. Only the top
left one will be editable, but any changes you make to it will happen to
the other 9 copies.

| yup, that's the one. I'm just tired of looking for it and pasting it in. I'm
Canadian -- I have to be lazy. It's a requirement.

| I knew I would need it again (lots of senior moments) so I saved it in a
special folder I created fo such a time as this. BTW I hate admitting I
am senior.
