If you will be mailing your artwork:
For logos and artwork provide large, clean line art to insure the highest quality plastic card. We scan images/photographs sent by mail up to 8.5" wide X 11" high.
If you are scanning your artwork yourself and sending a digital copy by email:
Images should be scanned at 600 dpi or greater at a minimum size of 3.6" wide X 2.1" high and saved in CMYK format as high-quality .psd, .jpg, .jpeg, .cdr, .ai, .pdf
If submitting a complete pre-produced card layout via the web, your design must meet these guidelines:
Convert all fonts to outlines or use common fonts, truetype or opentype. Preffered format is CMYK mode PDF or Illustrator EPS. Sorry, we can not accept Macintosh® fonts.
The layout should be sized to 3.6" wide X 2.1" high for business cards and 3.475" wide X 2.225" High for Credit(Gift or Loyalty Cards) size X 300 dpi with all text within a 3/16" border to allow for radioed cropping. Please see our Photoshop® design template for these specifics. For best results, sending us your original "layered" file is recommended. However a "flattened" image should be provided at 300 dpi or greater and saved in CMYK format as a high-quality .psd, .jpg, .jpeg, .cdr, .ai, .pdf
Due to cutting variances, card designs with a "framed border" are not recommended. A possible slight shift in cutting will cause the printed frame border to appear off center or uneven.
