Pages does not have anywhere to explicitly define a Business Card
template, but there are numerous resources out there on the Web which
can help with this, such as
http://www.stocklayouts.com/Products/Business-Card/Business-Card-Template-Design-Library.aspx
and
http://forums.macnn.com/82/applications/242449/iwork-and-business-cards/
and many others. However, after years of dealing with this issue in a
variety of software, most frequently Filemaker Pro and AppleWorks, I
have to say that it eventually comes down to using a sample of the
stock and a ruler to make the initial card, and playing with the
measurements until you get the printing right. I have yet to get any
sort of predefined printing layout to print perfectly out of the box.
Some have come close, but there has always been some sort of
adjustment required. There are too many variables between printer
models and drivers, perceived and actual printing resolutions, laser
printers vs inkjet, etc.
