-
- 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.

Please 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). This way, the product can be moved into production on time. The deadline is always communicated at the final step when putting your product together and in the box on the right which details your entire order.
-
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.
-
Please 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 we use?
-
-
For the production of Classic Business Cards, we use the following 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/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.
-
- If I select the folded option, will they arrive folded?
-
-
No, they will arrive unfolded, but they will be creased for quick and easy folding.
-
- What is cutting deviation?
-
-
Classic Business Cards 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.
-
- Is there an option to add drill holes?
-
-
If you would you like drill holes in your design, you may be interested in checking out our Swing Tags.

What finishes can I choose for my business cards?
-
-
Double-sided Matte lamination
Matte lamination: The matte lamination finish adds an extra layer to your paper. Similar to the matte finish, this is also subtle and is perfect if your design is text heavy. The added layer also acts as extra protection.
-
Double-sided Gloss lamination
Gloss lamination: The glossy lamination adds an extra layer to your paper. Similar to the glossy finish, this also gives your design a sheen and is perfect for photographs as the colours show up quite vivid. The added layer also acts as extra protection.
-
Double-sided UV Glossy
UV-varnish: The UV-varnish finish gives your flyer an ultra glossy appearance, making it look quite luxurious.
-
Double-sided Velvet lamination
Velvet touch: This material is composed of coated paper with an extra velvet lamination. With this finishing, your product has a velvet soft finish, extremely smooth to the touch for a premium look and feel. Ideal for a luxury brand wanting to make the first impression right.
