What square size is used for

Modern designs that want a distinctive shape — square cards read differently on the table and suit radial or symmetrical layouts.

How many square cards fit on a sheet

PaperCards per sheetLayout
A4 (210 × 297 mm)123 × 4, 6.35 mm margins
US Letter (8.5 × 11 in)123 × 4, 6.35 mm margins

These are single-sided counts with standard printer margins and no gaps. Double-sided (duplex) printing uses two passes per sheet; gutter-fold layouts fit roughly half as many per side because each card's front and back share the sheet. More on double-sided printing →
