Feeling guilty about printing on paper these days? We do a green book that can assuage that environmentalist guilt. Great for replacing catalogues, simultaneously saving the environment and on mailing/printing.
We can do a card in a shape of a dog, a whale, a car, and a card! Check out what you can do with die-cuts and your identity by viewing our sample section.
Remember to save down several versions when submitting ai/eps/pdf files. It is a common courtesy in the printing industry as not everybody can afford the latest and greatest software.
When using Photoshop to compose your card, either convert your text to shape outline and submit as an unflattened TIFF or create your file as 350dpi, and submit txt flattened in a TIFF.
For images, the standard resolution is 300 dpi – so don’t even think about grabbing that thumbnail off the internet and using it in your business card.
It is not a good idea to do a border around the very edge of the card. This is an awkward design device that will cause you and the printer angst due to a very slight shift in placement during trimming.
Bleed is generally 2mm or .125″. This is to ensure that there is an consistant colour right up to the edge of your paper. Live area is generally .25″ and is the cut off zone for any integral information.
