What size should a comp card be?
Dear Stacie:
The most common size comp card is 5X7. However, there is no rule on the dimensions of a composite sheet.
One of the advantages of having a comp card larger than 5X7 is that when it is sent along with a ton of other cards to photographers and art/creative directors, it will physically stand out. The main disadvantage to having a large format card is that it might not fit in the bins on the agent’s wall along with all of the other comp cards. When an agent is submitting cards, yours might not be placed in the package.
The other problem with a larger size card is that agents have special sized envelopes to fit all of the 5X7 comp cards that are being sent out. If your card does not fit, it might not be sent.
