I've seen some really nicely designed business cards where the fonts are so small and in a color that is so hard to read, they end up useless. Lie you said in your original post, size depends on the font. The computer has made it fairly easy to comp up several font styles, color choices and sizes. Often times, it depends on the amount of information they want to include in the design what size you end up with. I try to stay with 12pt heads, and 10.5pt subtext. But, I'd comp it and print it to make a better determination. Size is only one of many elements in a stationery package design.
