I don’t know about czechs, but I would think on a business card, 8 points is about as small as you ant to go and still be readable.

Depends on the information, somethings you can get away with making smaller. I would not normally go under 10pt on the more important information and 8pt the absolute smallest on information such as descriptor lines.

8 for the less important things, 10 at least for the stuff that matters like names. I’m looking at one right now and the name and title are big, but the address, e-mail address and phone number are small.

8 is about the lowest value you should use. In some cases it´s ok to use a lower value, like if the design or the idea you want to transmit depends on the aspect of the types you use. In most typographic business card designs you can see font sizes up to a minimum of 1, so don´t be afraid to experiment. But remember, the information that you want to be readable it should be at least 8. Hope it helps.

Everyone should use a proper font size in their business card for better impression and it totally depends on the design you are using for business card. I always prefer 7–10 pts.
