When designing business cards - do you keep it safe for the card to be viewable on file/rollerdecks? ie. standard size ~90x55mm?
Some printer tried to convince me it is absurd to experiment with alternate sizes.

i always use 90 x 45 unless the client prefers a more standard height (if you're looking landscape).
personally i hate wider cards as they don't fit anywhere and there's gotta be better ways to stand out than fuck about with folding cards etc.
what were you thinking size wise?

don't ever take design advice from a printer.
might as well ask your car mechanic what he thinks too
- if you got a great printer, he/she probably knows a lot. never wrong to hear what they think.akrokdesign

It needs to be die-cut, embossed, foil stamped and include a pop-up image that draws in crowds. Make it bigger so it doesn't fit in a rollerdeck.

The only thing you should ask your printer about is bleed as it differs from printer to printer.
