Submission specifications for PVC Cards HiCo Magnetic Strip
- Add 3 mm bleed.
- To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add a bleed of 3 mm around all edges of your design. Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
- Use CMYK as the color mode.
- Prepare your files using CMYK as the color mode, not RGB. Use colormode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colormode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. 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.
- Convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts.
- Make sure you convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts when saving it to PDF.
- Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Force Color Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Color Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats.
- Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats (PDF (1.4 or higher), TIFF, EPS, JPG). Deliver your files in one layer: the background layer.
- Use the right values for full color black.
- Use Rich Black (C:63% M:52% Y:51% K:100%) for larger areas and text to get a deep black color. Do not use this value for text smaller than 15 pt or plain text. This can only be used in full color printing. For designing black smaller texts use 100% black.
- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt.
- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.
- Check your artwork on overprint.
- Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint. Unless you want this effect in your design. The degree of transparency in printing depends on the ink, paper, and printing method used.

- Note only applicable for products which require your design: To make sure that your order is delivered at the indicated time, it is important that we receive your file with your design for the product, on time (also called cut-off time). In this way the product can be moved into production on time. The deadline is always communicated in the yellow bar on the product page, above the "Add to shopping cart" button.
- The cut-off time for your printed item may vary. This depends on the combination you choose. This has to do with the manufacturing technique and / or the order quantities.
- NOTE: The product delivery 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 supplied before the next cut off time.
- Which production techniques do you use?
-
- For the production of your PVC Cards HiCo Magnetic Strip we use the following production technique(s):
- Digital (up to 250 pieces): printed on professional HP Indigo printers, directly after your order is received. Digital printing is cheaper in lower order quantities.
Offset Lithography printing or Litho printing makes it possible to provide larger quantities at unbeatable prices. This technique creates images and text with wet ink and transferred to each paper sheet with aluminium and rubber plates. This method is more extensive than its 'digital’ counterpart because of the different printing materials that are used. Still, it is the most cost-effective option when you order bigger printed batches.

PVC Cards HiCo Magnetic Strip
Note: HiCo and LoCo PVC cards are suitable for different systems! So first check this with your system manager before ordering. The cards are made of sturdy white PVC and can be compared with a bank card or credit card. Choose PVC cards with a HiCo magnetic strip if the data that is put on the card has a long life span, or doesn't need to be overwritten often. Because a stronger magnetic field is required to read the data of cards with a HiCo magnetic strip than for cards with a LoCo magnetic strip, the HiCo magnetic strip cards are often used for long-term applications where a higher security value is required and when the card is widely used. Think of access passes at companies or membership cards.

“Super and superior service from start to finish. Helped me with drafting, design and technical stuff re downloading and reproducing logos and pics. Result was just how I’d envisaged the poster to be but totally in the dark as to how to produce it. A special shout out to Sanne for all the help, guidance and abundance of patience and professionalism.”
“When I uploaded my business card design, the logo was not good enough quality. They let me know and replaced that logo with higher spec. They saved me a waste of money. It shows their commitment to excellence and ensuring a great result for their customers. Cannot recommend they more highly.”

“Great service, Great Value & Very reliable.”
“These guys are a fantastic company - I will definitely use them again. Print quality is much better than other online printers and the prices are brilliant. There was a slight issue with my order when it arrived (out of Helloprint's control, not their fault) but they were quick to rectify. 100% recommended!!”

“I ordered this to aid me with teaching online, the order process was easy. After submitting my image in jpg form it did initially place it the wrong way on the blind, but a quick message to Hello print about the correct layout and a proof was sent. From ordering to it arriving on my door step was less than a week. Well done everyone an excellent product.”
“Service was very prompt. Customer service was brilliant, will definitely use again.”
“Lovely stickers at a good price! Hoping to get more of them to stock on my etsy store /TaitGalleryArt”

The print and paper quality are second to none and they were packaged really well and securely. The cost for my orders was fantastic too! I also found uploading my artwork really easy and it's great that you can see a proof to approve straight away. I will definitely place further orders at HelloPrint Manchester and will recommend you to all my friends.”
