We print edge-to-edge on standard card size stock so you do not have to worry about bleeds.
Simply design your card artwork right to the edge of the card and send us your files. There is no need to round the four corners in the artwork because our system will do that automatically during production.
We have all the common Windows fonts available. However, if you have a special font for your card design, please send us the font
in a format supported by PC based platform.
Sending Artwork
Send your files as an attachment or zipped files over email. For a large number of files or files exceeding 10 Megabytes, send your files by CD.
The files must be readable to a PC based platform. We do not accept Macintosh files. We accept .jpg, .tif, .psd., .eps, and .bmp files.
However we do not accept .gif files. With the exception for the rough diagram, do not send graphics or artwork as Microsoft Excel, Power Point, or Word document. Publisher files are not supported.
Art files sent via email must include your company name so they can be easily identified.
