- We recommend using our templates and guides for preparing your print-ready PDF.
-
You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.
If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.
For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.
- Use CMYK as the colour mode.
-
Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.
- Resolution of at least 300 dpi.
-
Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.
- Add 3 mm bleed and keep 4 mm safety margin
-
During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:
- Add a 3 mm bleed around all edges of your design.
- Keep important elements 4 mm away from the edge or folding lines.
- Avoid using borders or frames on smaller formats like labels or business cards.
- Text and fonts specifications (Min. font size is 6 pt)
-
For this product, the minimum font size is 6 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:
- Fonts must be embedded or outlined.
- If your design contains small black text, make sure it is 100 % black (Cyan: 0 Magenta: 0 Yellow: 0 Black: 100).
Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.
- Check line thickness.
-
Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.
- Check your artwork for overprint.
-
Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.
- Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
-
Force Colour Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Colour Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Using a border/frame is not recommended
-
It is recommended to count with a margin of error when stacks of copies are trimmed during the production process. This slight cutting deviation is usually not noticeable, nevertheless, we recommend avoiding adding borders smaller than 20 mm in your design for any product smaller than an A4 (210 x 297 mm). Otherwise, the design might end up looking off-centre.
- Use the PMS colour code(s).
-
When you choose to print a product with solid colours, the design must be supplied with Pantone Solid colours. You can find out here more about the different colour modes.

- What is Pantone printing?
-
-
Pantone colours are often used when a design only contains 1 to 4 colours. Pantone colours have a unique code within the Pantone Matching System (PMS), so that the result of colours used is always the same. PMS is mainly used for: Letterheads, envelopes, business cards and compliment cards.

-
The fastest possible turnaround varies depending on the specifications you select, and will always be stated at the bottom of the page.

This way, the product can be moved into production promptly.
Please note: The delivery date shifts a day every time the deadline for submission has passed. This is also the case if the file is rejected by us and corrected artwork isn't submitted before the next cut-off time.
-
- Which production techniques do we use?
-
-
For the production of Business Cards (PMS), we use the following technique(s):
-
Offset Lithography/Litho printing: This technique uses wet ink and aluminium and rubber plates to transfer images and text onto paper sheets, resulting in sharp, vibrant, and consistent prints. While this method may require slightly more setup than digital printing, it's the most cost-effective option for larger print runs.
-

-
For the delivery of Business Cards (PMS), we use our most reliable carriers which, in most cases, are UPS or DPD.
-
UPS

We also use DHL and our own courier service. However, these carriers are only used for certain products (depending on the size, the turnaround and the quantity).

-
- What is cutting deviation?
-
-
Business Cards (PMS) are printed on large sheets, which are then cropped to the final size. To maximize efficiency, the sheets are stacked and cut in large quantities at the same time. It is possible that the stack of paper shifts slightly, resulting in a cutting deviation. In order to limit the possibility of this, please pay attention to the bleed and safety margins when submitting your artwork.
