File Preparation:

- Business Cards WITH bleed 3.625 x 2.125
- For files with a bleed allow a minimum of 1/8th inch for trimming
- Crop all images exactly the way you want them to look.
- Illustrator has trouble with clipping masks and transparencies. PLEASE edit your IMAGES in Photoshop. Fonts and graphics placed over these "Clipped" areas often error when ripped. If in doubt, distill your file and look closely at the areas in question.

- All scanned images must be 300 dpi
- All images must be CMYK
- All colors must be CMYK (PMS SPOT COLORS MUST BE CONVERTED TO CMYK)

Please .zip or stuff your files before sending, if you can.
All fonts must be converted to paths, curves or rasterized. If you don't know what that means, then don't send your file.
Back Printing, when chosen, is black ink and should be submitted in grayscale or black and white bitmap format.
Make sure all elements (.tifs, images, etc.) are embedded in one file per side of card. So that means, if you have a double sided card, you would only upload 2 files: 1 for the front and 1 for the back.
*if you send files in RGB or Spot Color format, we are not responsible for color variation. Some CMYK versions of spot colors may vary. Please reference a Spot to a Process chart when choosing your colors. Heavy solids may also vary slightly.
Standard production time is 7-10 working days, plus shipping.
For faster turnaround, select 2nd Day or Next Day Air when you check out!
