What is a Professional File Check?

For a small fee, an expert member of our technical team will manually review your artwork before it goes to print so you can press 'go' with complete confidence. If you've ordered multiple products, you can choose to add a Professional File Check to individual jobs or your entire order. We'll check your file for common print setup issues and, where possible, fix them before production. If we find anything that needs your attention, we'll contact you and place your order on hold until you've updated and re-uploaded your artwork. We'll check things like: Image resolution for print quality Bleed and safe areas Page count and page order on folded products Corrupt, blank or password-protected files Templates left on artwork Folds, cut lines, drill holes and binding areas (where applicable) Foil alignment and minimum line widths (where applicable) Personalisation files and version quantities (where applicable) A Professional File Check doesn't include: Spelling, grammar or proofreading Design, layout or text sizing advice Colour accuracy or colour mode checks (RGB/CMYK) QR code testing Calendar date checks Post-print quality inspection beyond our standard production processes See a full list of what's included here . Adding a Professional File Check won't delay your estimated delivery date, unless we need you to amend and re-upload your artwork after we've reviewed it. To upgrade to a Professional File Check, simply select the option when you upload your artwork. We'll take care of the rest and let you know if we spot anything that needs your attention before your job goes to print.

How to print Business Cards?

Business Card printing can be made a lot easier by using a professional printing service. Just upload your design, choose a paper type (you might be spoilt for choice), select finishing touches like rounded corners, foil or UV coating, preview and approve the digital proof, place your order, and receive your cards. For questions or custom requests, our Bespoke Team are always happy to help.

What is the standard Business Card size?

The standard size for Business Cards is 85mm x 55mm. However, if you're looking for something unique, we also offer alternative sizes including square, long, and mini options to help your brand stand out.

What shapes are available for Business Cards?

We believe your Business Card should reflect your unique style, which is why we offer a wide array of creative shapes to choose from. Whether you're drawn to the elegance of wavy edges, the sophistication of an arch shape, or the modern twist of round corners on a traditional rectangle card, we've got something for everyone. If you're envisioning a shape that's not in our lineup, worry not! Our Bespoke Team is ready and excited to bring your vision to life.

What is the radius on the round corners?

The radius on the round corners of our Business Cards is a clean and precise 5mm. This subtle curve not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures safety and durability. If you have any more questions or need further details, don't hesitate to reach out to us We're here to help!

What resolution is best for Business Card artwork?

To ensure the highest quality print, we recommend uploading your Business Card artwork at a resolution of 300dpi (dots per inch). This ensures that all text and images appear crisp and clear when printed.

What material is best to print Business Cards?

Choosing the right material for your Business Cards depends on the impression you want to leave. Here are some popular options: Uncoated: Offers a flat, modern finish with no surface coating, providing a soft, touchable texture that's perfect for writing on. Tearproof: Ideal for durable, long-lasting cards. This 100% waterproof and tearproof stock is great for Business Cards that need to withstand wear and tear. Magnetic: Perfect for designs that need to stick around. Made from flexible material with a magnetic backing, these cards are ideal for fridges or any metal surface.

Can I get custom Business Cards with embossing or debossing, and how does it work?

Absolutely! You can create fully custom Business Cards with premium finishes like embossing (raised design) or debossing (indented design). These tactile, luxury finishes are perfect for highlighting your logo, name, or special design elements, ensuring your cards leave a lasting impression. To get started, simply contact our Bespoke Team with your requirements. They’ll guide you through the process and provide expert advice to bring your vision to life. Setting up artwork: Safe areas: Allow 20mm if only one artwork fits on 1 x SRA3 sheet, or 5mm if multiple artworks fit on a sheet. Minimum font size: 8 pt for clear, crisp results. File type: Vector files are preferred for precision. Stock recommendations: Thick stocks (300 gsm+) are ideal for debossing. Lighter stocks (<200 gsm) work best for embossing. Artwork style: Bold shapes and text deliver the best results. Limitations and tips: Embossing/debossing isn’t compatible with digital foiling. Not recommended for textured paper stocks, as the finish may not be as defined. Blind embossing/debossing (without ink or foil) is an eco-friendly option, avoiding solvents or pigments. Metal embossing/debossing blocks can be reused for repeat orders, reducing production waste and costs.

Quick tips to print perfection

We like to be as flexible as possible, so you can upload your files as PDF, JPEG, TIFF and PNG. PDF's and JPEGs are the most accepted file type across all our products, so we recommend using those wherever possible.

Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount.

The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print.

RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Giclée Fine Art Prints or Photographic Prints, please set up your artwork in CMYK.

Our Versions service lets you print multiple designs using the same product specifications. For instance, if you have five different designs that share the same size, orientation, and paper stock, you can print them all at once using this service. By opting for Versions, you're increasing your overall quantity, which means you'll enjoy a lower cost per unit. To use Versions, simply select "yes" in the product builder when prompted with "Do you want to print more than one design?". When using Versions, the quantity you enter in the product builder applies to each design. For example, if you choose a quantity of 10 with 5 Versions, you'll receive a total of 50 prints.

Personalisation is a simple, cost-effective way to tailor each of your individual prints. You can use personalisation for different text elements like names, addresses, and even personalised messages. However, if the text content on your design is the same for all prints, you don't need personalisation. There are two main options for personalising your print - you can either choose to add the personalised elements to your artwork yourself, or send us your artwork with a placeholder and a CSV containing a list of all the names/ personalised elements, and we’ll merge the two for you.

If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing.

Remember to save your artwork out at a minimum of 300dpi resolution. This will ensure that when printed, your artwork quality is as crisp as possible.

If you've chosen a shape for your print (such as arch, wavy, circle or pebble where available), you'll find templates for these shapes on additional layers within the standard square or rectangular template. Download the template for the correct size, then delete the layers you don't need, leaving the layer for your chosen shape as a guide while creating your artwork. Delete all template layers before saving and uploading your artwork. This will prevent the template from being printed on top of your design.

What should I know before preparing artwork for print?

1. We provide downloadable templates:

On most of our product pages, you can find free downloadable templates to help you set up your artwork for print. They’re available in AI, IDML and PDF formats to suit the design software you’re working in. Our downloadable templates include key information on creating artwork as well as instructions on how to save out your print-ready PDF.
