CR-80
The standard ID and credit-card size: 3.375 x 2.125 inches (85.6 x 54 mm).
CR-80 is the default card size for virtually all ID card printers and access systems. When in doubt, your cards are CR-80.
More on this in a plain-English guide to choosing a printer.
If someone hands you an ID or a credit card, it is CR-80. Virtually every ID printer, lanyard, badge holder, and access reader is built around this size, so unless you have a specific reason, this is the card you want.
