Business Card Artwork Measurements And Cutting Guidelines |
 |
If you set your artwork up correctly, you will be happy with
the finished business cards. We have set everything in
millimeters because of their ease of explaining. The finished
card size is 89mm x 53mm (2 1/16 x 3 1/6 inches).
The above diagram illustrates how you should make your artwork
1.5mm (1/6") bigger all the way around to allow for bleed.
If you are new to printing then this page is very important for
you to learn about 'bleed'. If you have a photo or image
covering the entire background of your card, then you must pay
very particular attention to how your artwork is set up to
ensure that you do not get white lines around the edges of your
card.
If you want something to go to the edge of your card, like a
photo, a line or a logo perhaps, then you must run it over the
edge of the card by an EXTRA 1.5mm (1/16"). This is called
bleed. This 1.5mm (1/16")is trimmed off after printing ensuring
that you get your image or colour all the way to the edge of
your card.
Your artwork must be 92mm x 56mm in dimensions. This includes
1.5mm (1/16") bleed all the way around which will be trimmed off
after printing. Your business cards will be delivered to you
89mm x 53mm in size.
Once your artwork is uploaded to our website, it must be
positioned as mentioned in order to bleed correctly. This is pre
setup for you on most templates already. |

"Not Full Bleed" - Background is not fully extended to the
edge. This will cause white strips to be around your card after
it is cut.
"Out of Zone" - The text is outside of the safe zone. This
information will be cut off.
"Pixelated" - Text and / or images are not print ready
hi-resolution. Your files must be in 300 pixels / inch
resolution.
"Hard To Read" - Text created with conflicting color values, no
shadows on complex backgrouds, or very thin, tiny font will be
very difficult to read.
"Borders" - We do not recommend borders due to the nature of our
cutting. You will need to either remove the border, or put them
well inside the safe zone. Do not place a border on the trim of
bleed zone, it will be cut off or removed.
"Blank Card" - Created or uploaded card with no text, images, or
any other information.
"No Text" - Created or uploaded card with no text.

cause your image to upload incorrectly.Only Illustrator or PDF
files require crop marks if created on larger than spec
artboards.
