Configure your request
Each cart item is one name / artwork set. Add a separate item for another name or design; multiple packages here repeat the same artwork, with no automatic package substitution.
( * files accepted: PDF, JPG and PNG )
Cards can be single-sided or double-sided. Just upload your artwork — we confirm the printed sides with you.
PDF template references
- 3.5" × 2"
Reference size only. No downloadable template PDFs have been supplied; confirm the exact template, bleed, safe area and front/back orientation with the shop before preparing artwork.
Artwork Preparation Tips
Preparation depends on your product and approved template. These tips do not approve a file, add specialty services or change the accepted upload formats.
File size, layers & orientation
- Keep an untouched original. For a smaller print PDF, remove unused content and use optimized PDF export without reducing artwork below the resolution required for your product.
- Delete hidden artwork and setup-guide layers from the print copy when they are not intended to print. Keep any required production layers separate.
- Submit the front and back in the proper orientation. Check the product’s approved file-orientation guide before exporting.
- Avoid borders near the trim. Cutting can make a close border appear slightly off-center; keep important text inside the approved safe area.
Images, fonts & print PDFs
- For standard business-card print PDFs, supply vector text, logos, shapes and other non-photographic artwork. Use embedded raster images only for full-color photographs.
- Supply a high-resolution PDF with CMYK images at 300 DPI at final print size. Convert all type to outlines rather than relying on embedded fonts. Changing a DPI label does not add image detail.
- Embed linked images. Remove form fields, comments and annotations; do not rely on them to appear in the final print. Check the exported PDF before selecting it.
Black ink & small white text
- For the reviewed CMYK workflow: black text uses C0 M0 Y0 K100; larger rich-black areas use C30 M20 Y20 K100. Avoid heavier builds such as C60 M60 Y60 K100 unless specifically approved.
- Small white text knocked out of rich black can lose readability from slight print misregistration. The supplied reference recommends at least 8 pt text and 0.75 pt lines; confirm suitability for the actual product.
- Thicken white knockout lettering to reduce filling-in. Swelling slightly enlarges the knockout areas to compensate for ink spread; the shop must review any swelling or trapping adjustment before production.
Label dielines, bleed & white ink — only when quoted
- For an owner-confirmed label workflow, match the Illustrator artboard to the final trim size. The supplied reference uses at least 0.0625 in bleed on every side; your approved product template controls the actual requirement.
- If an approved job needs a dieline, use a separate layer with one stroked path and a spot color named exactly Dieline. Confirm overprint settings with the shop; a dieline does not confirm cutting availability.
- Only when white ink is included in the written quote: provide one file containing the CMYK artwork, if needed, and a spot color named exactly White_Ink, not separate files. For white ink under a color, the color shape or White_Ink shape needs reviewed overprint settings; a white-ink knockout can prevent artwork printing over it. The shop must review ink placement and all overprints, including Dieline.
- For this confirmed specialty workflow, use CMYK only, not RGB, with Dieline and/or White_Ink spot colors only as specified in the accepted quote.
- For a confirmed black-only job, artwork uses K only, with Dieline or White_Ink spot colors only if required by its approved specifications. The supplied label reference requests PDF; other products retain their own accepted file formats.
Artwork & design assistance
Supply print-ready artwork privately with your quote request. We confirm size, bleed, resolution and file suitability; uploading a file is not proof approval.
Need artwork? Design or file edits are $80/hour for agreed actual hours, never an automatic one-hour fee. Editable files are quoted separately. Other sizes, quantities or finishes are quoted. Eligible checkout collects 100% of the confirmed total, including design, shipping and tax; every printed side still needs separate current final-proof approval.
Frequently asked questions
Can I request another size or quantity?
Yes. Unlisted specifications need a written quote, never an extrapolated price or zero-dollar checkout.
When is my order ready to print?
Only after the complete scope and charges are accepted, payment is verified and you separately approve the current final print proof for every printed side. Checkout remains unavailable until the required agreements are approved.
Do you ship nationwide?
Eligible U.S. destinations are confirmed in the quote. Included package shipping is shown above; other shipping is quoted. Scheduled Denver pickup is also available.
Is design included?
No automatic design fee or free design is assumed. Artwork assistance is scoped and hours approved before charging; a final proof still needs separate approval.
