Here is an example of one of our business cards to show you how to supply your files. Please follow these guidelines and the advice in the right hand column to keep your design/artwork charges to a minimum.
Please leave 3mm bleed on all trim edges of your document and allow any coloured elements or images fill the bleed area too. After your product has been printed the bleed area will be cut off, this allows room for error.
Please also leave a minimum of 4mm safe zone at the edge of the final cut down size document. Any text or important parts of images straying into this area might be trimmed off by mistake.
