Artwork Preparation
Please follow our artwork preparation guidelines to ensure that your artwork file is set up correctly for printing. This will help avoid any production issues and ensure that your final product meets your expectations.
1. Add 3 mm of Bleed
During the production of paper products, slight cutting imperfections are to be expected — cutting can be off by a couple of millimeters from the cutting line. To accommodate for these small shifts, add 3 mm of bleed on all edges of your artwork. Ensure all colors, background images, and design elements extend to the edge of the bleed area to avoid unwanted white borders after trimming.
Learn more about how to set up the bleed here.
2. Keep Your Content Within a 3 mm Safety Margin
To prevent important elements like text and logos from being cut off, keep all critical content at least 3 mm inside from the trim line (also known as the “safety margin”). This ensures that nothing essential will be too close to the edge after trimming.
3. Use CMYK Color Mode
For accurate color representation in print, always set your artwork to CMYK color mode. This ensures the colors you see on-screen will translate properly to the final printed product.
4. Use an Image Resolution of at Least 300 DPI
To guarantee sharp and clear images, all raster images (photos or non-vector elements) should be at least 300 DPI (dots per inch). Anything lower may result in blurry or pixelated prints.
5. Use the Right Values for Grey Elements
When creating grey elements, ensure you use the right CMYK values to avoid color inconsistencies in print. For a neutral grey, use equal values of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:50).
6. Use the Right Values for Black Elements
For solid black areas, use rich black (C:60 M:40 Y:40 K:100) to achieve a deep, vibrant black. For text and fine lines, use pure black (C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100) to prevent over-inking.
7. Use Maximum 2 Colors for Lines Finer than 2 pt
For thin lines (less than 2 pt in width), use no more than 2 colors to ensure clarity in printing. This reduces the risk of misregistration and blurry lines in the final product.
8. Convert All Fonts to Outlines or Embed Them in Your File
Ensure that your fonts appear correctly by either converting all fonts to outlines or embedding them in your artwork file. This prevents any font-related issues when your file is printed.
9. Save and Upload Your Artwork Files as PDF/X-1a
For the best compatibility and print quality, save your final artwork file as PDF/X-1a. This ensures all fonts, images, and settings are embedded correctly and optimized for printing.
10. Check for Overprint
Before submitting your artwork, double-check for any overprint settings that might cause elements to disappear in print. Turn off overprint for non-essential objects to ensure everything prints as expected.
Following these guidelines will ensure your artwork is print-ready and minimizes the risk of production delays or errors. If you have any questions about the artwork, please check our Knowledge Base section or feel free to contact us.

Design Recommendations
Recycled Business Cards are not only eco-friendly but also offer a premium, professional look. Follow these tips to create a design that reflects both your brand and your commitment to sustainability.
1. Clean and Professional Design
A simple, well-organized design makes your business card stand out while maintaining a professional appearance. Focus on key elements like your logo, business name, and contact information, ensuring a clear and easy-to-read layout.
2. Utilize Your Brand Colors
For Recycled Business Cards, Pantone color printing is available by quote but not offered for instant online orders. For vibrant designs, opt for full-color CMYK printing, which works well on eco-friendly papers and ensures your branding looks sharp and professional.
3. Highlight Eco-Friendly Messaging
If sustainability is a key part of your brand, consider adding eco-friendly messages or icons to your design. Elements like recycling symbols or statements about your commitment to using recycled materials can enhance your brand image.
4. Readable Fonts
Choose clean, easy-to-read fonts to ensure your message is clear. We recommend using a minimum font size of 7pt for readability. Simple and professional fonts maintain the integrity of your design while ensuring legibility.
5. Balance the Layout
Ensure your design has plenty of white space around key elements like your logo, text, and icons. A balanced design not only looks cleaner but also highlights the premium recycled materials used for your business card.
