Artwork
To ensure your thank you cards print perfectly, please follow our standard artwork guidelines when uploading your file:
-
File Format: Please supply your artwork as a high-resolution, print-ready PDF.
-
Resolution: Ensure all images and graphics are at least 300dpi to prevent blurry or pixelated printing.
-
Colour Profile: Save your artwork in CMYK color mode (not RGB) to ensure the printed colors accurately match your screen.
-
Bleed & Safe Zone: * Please include a 3mm bleed around all edges of your artwork to allow for clean cutting.

Keep all important text and logos at least 5mm away from the trim edge (the safe zone).
