I made up a simple business card with a standard size. However, when I open the pdf, it's 1.5mm larger (height and width).
I've tried to change `geometry` settings but to no avail.

It's all good, but when I open the pdf in Acrobat Reader, the size is slightly larger (1.5mm):

The additional size has two causes:
- the main reason is the red rectangle. By default tikz draws the middle of the line at the position you specify, so 2pt will be outside on each side, adding up to an additional 4pt as visualized in the following sketch:
You can work around this problem by clipping the document to the size of the image
- the `outer sep` around nodes also contributes a bit
(and there is a `]` missing in the `tikzpicture`)

This gives a size of 8.01 cm times 5cm (I think the 0.01 cm is just a rounding problem)
