Business Card Design Specifications
Print dimensions and other design specifications
If you plan to use our online design system, all customizable designs are set up according to
print regulations, and we will walk you through all the details you need to know, but you may
find it useful to review this page for your reference.
If you are creating your own design files, rather than using our customizable designs, it is
important that you follow these basic design specifications in order to ensure that
your file upload goes smoothly and your order prints as you intend.
Preparing Your Files
If you have not already done so, please review our guide to
Preparing Your Files for acceptable file types and file specifications. This page covers important terminology and file setup, including:
- Bleeds, inner margins and trim size
- CMYK color and color matching standards
- Image resolution and dpi
- Embedded fonts and linked files
- Copyrighted images and other content
- PDF and printed proofs
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a delay in printing.
