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.

- 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.

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.

“It was very easy to upload files of the flyers that I wanted printed. When they turned up (one day quicker than promised) I was delighted with their quality. Splendid all round:)”
“As always, great printing and great service!”
“I used Helloprint on the recommendation of a customer and the recommendation was a good one and well founded the service is easy to use,very efficient, and the quality of the product is first class. I will definitely use again and also recommend to others”
“I've no idea how these guys make any money; so cheap, great quality and outstanding service. I tried using local printers but was let down badly so tried this company a few years ago and never looked back. Thanks especially to Margaux and Patrick for service above and beyond the normal. Watch the bad reviews for this company, they're mostly nonsense from clowns who haven't followed simple instructions to get the best results. They are the best and the cheapest. Simples!”
“Excellent- great quality, great communication and quick delivery”
“I've used Hello Print for a few years for A5 stapled booklets (16 pages). The price is great and the quality of the booklets is excellent. I wouldn't dream of using anyone else for booklets.”
“Now, I did have some trouble with the interface (it suggested I need to duplicate the order to get two different pictures front and back, while I didn't have to). However, after a quick chat with Lucy at Customers Service we cancelled the wrong order and she figured out the right set up. Absolutely amazing customer support - very patient and helpful. Cheers Lucy!”
“Easy and no fuss. You know what you are getting. Price for small quantities is excellent”
“I used Helloprint for the first time recently and the quality of the flyers were fantastic at a price that blew me away. The customer service was really helpful too when I spoke to them. An all round positive experience”
“good quality, prices and fast delivery”
“Really happy with the process. My design was checked quickly and the whole process was very prompt and smooth. Will order from them again.”
“Fantastic customer service from Cameron - I had to make multiple amends to our order and he was patient and super helpful. Will definitely be ordering again.”
“I ordered 2500 A4 double sided flyers on behalf of the Dartington Morris Men on Thursday, finding it very easy to pay and download my artwork. Within 30 minutes Hello Print sent me an email reporting my artwork was perfect along with a review copy. On Monday morning the 2500 flyers were delivered - superb quality. Incredible service, quality and price - I could not find fault with anything.”
“Nicole is great and so helpful. I was also very impressed with the quality of the banner. Will definitely be using again!”
“Firstly was lowest price out there, was worried would be too good to be true. They were not. The order was proofed and when I needed to call to query something I did not have to wait ages to get through to someone. Query was resolved in 1 phone call. When order was placed, booklets arrived 1 day early much to our delight. Good quality print.”
“I've used Helloprint a few times now have been very impressed. They are very easy to use, have very competitive prices, quick turnarounds and most importantly, deliver a quality product. I recently had a problem with an order and was really pleased with how quickly and efficiently they were able to help me even though the error was my own. Highly recommended. Thank you!”
“I needed some banners for a steam fair. We only decided on them at the last minute, but Helloprint produced exactly what we wanted and I got them the next day. Great service.”
“A quick, easy to use website with options clearly displayed,backed by a fast & reliable service resulting in excellent quality printing.”
“VERY FAST AND QUICK COMMUNICATION AND DELIVERY! I AM AMAZED!”
