| Finished size | 85 × 55 mm, landscape or portrait |
|---|---|
| Bleed | 3 mm of extra background on every edge, trimmed off so colour runs right to the edge. Your document is 91 × 61 mm. |
| Safe zone | Keep words and logos at least 3 mm in from the edge (79 × 49 mm) so nothing gets trimmed. Trimming can vary by up to 2 mm, so thin borders near the edge can look uneven. |
| Resolution | 300 dpi at final size (use the original photo or logo, not one copied from a website) |
| Colour | CMYK (print colours). For designers: rich black C60 M40 Y40 K100 for large dark areas, 100% black (100K) for text. |
| Pages | 1 page for single-sided, 2 for double-sided (page 1 front, page 2 back), or two separate files |
| Fonts | Embedded in the PDF (most apps do this when you save as PDF for print) or converted to outlines (shapes). Minimum 6 pt; 7 pt for white text on dark, which can fill in on gloss. |
| File types | PDF (best). JPG, PNG, TIFF at 300 dpi. Not Word or PowerPoint: export to PDF first. |
We don’t have templates yet. The artwork guide covers sizes and bleed, or bring your file in and we’ll check it with you.
Standard Premium is a thicker card: 400gsm silk, laminated for a richer finish that lasts, double-sided, ready 3 to 5 working days after your artwork is approved. Express is 350gsm card, single or double-sided, ready the same day, within 2 hours, when your artwork is approved by 4pm, Monday to Saturday, for collection from the shop. Ready dates are confirmed when we check your artwork.
If we spot a problem with your file or aren’t sure about something, we’ll check with you before printing. You’re responsible for checking spelling, numbers and layout. Whether a proof comes as standard is still being confirmed, so ask when you order if you’d like one.
You can upload a new file, tick “print as supplied” for warnings, send it later, or choose “I need it designed” and we’ll quote to fix it. If we spot a problem after you’ve paid, we’ll get in touch before anything is printed.
Matt has no glare, and on Express card you can write on it. Gloss is shiny and makes photos and solid colours look deeper, but fingerprints show more. On Express they’re 350gsm card; on Standard, 400gsm silk card with a matt or gloss laminate.
Anything not on the price list is a custom quote. Ask for a quote and we’ll price it. Rounded corners and other cards are quoted too.
