Design Guidelines
Bleed Area: 88mm x 59mm
Make sure that your background extends to fill the bleed to avoid your Spot Gloss or Foil Business Cards having white edges when trimmed.
Trim: 84mm x 55mm
This is where we aim to cut your cards.
Safe Area: 80mm x 51mm
Make sure any important aspects of your design such as text and logos are inside of the safe area, otherwise they may be cut off.
Special Finish Guidelines
Special Finish Artwork
To create Special Finish Business Cards, you'll need 2 files: one for the artwork, one for the Special Finish. The artwork file will house the main design image. CMYK colour file in PDF, PNG, JPG, or GIF format. The Business Card finish file will define where it's applied on top of your design. B&W PDF file only. Make sure your design contains less than 50% foil/spot gloss. Avoid solid blocks of special finish – use the effect for accents or specific highlights.
