i almost asked this same question. but didnt. wish i had. i measured the tin. but i must have been off by a few millimeters. cause i printed and they didnt fit! i had to print them again, lol. i don't remember what the measurments were. i do a lot of guesswork with that stuff.

Avery business cards fit in them 2x3.5. You just need to round off the corners

2.25 by 3.5 worked for me! If your preview is at 100%, you can literally hold the tin up to the computer screen to see if it fits!

Hope that helps!
