Card Design Tips
While you should feel free to be very creative with your custom card, card designs are generally:
- Full color on the front and black text on the back — but we can print full color on the back, if desired.
- Include the company logo on the front to build brand awareness.
- Place a disclaimer, company contact information, and magstripe/barcode (if applicable) on the back.
Design File Preparation
- Prepare your design file at 300+ dpi in the CMYK color mode
- For a rich black in CMYK, use: 90C, 80M, 90Y, 100K
- Convert all fonts to outlines
- Please send "layered files" when possible
- Please make sure all “placed images” are embedded
- All text and critical imagery MUST stay within the Live Area (card cutting can vary 1/16th of an inch from this line)
Accepted File Formats
