Make sure all pages are the same size. Double-check the orientation to ensure proper backing—refer to the File Orientation Guides in the product images before submitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend avoiding borders in your design. Borders too close to the trim edge can appear off-center due to slight trimming variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiles must have a 1\/8\" bleed. All important text and artwork should remain within the safety margin to keep your business information intact. A larger safety margin is ideal for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure your PDF is high resolution, and all images use CMYK color mode at 300 DPI. For black text, use C0, M0, Y0, K100. For larger black areas, use C30, M20, Y20, K100 for a deeper tone. Single-color black (K100) is best for small text. All fonts need to be embedded or outlined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubmit files in CMYK unless your product specifically requires RGB or PMS colors. Carefully follow these steps for true-to-design matte cards that represent your business with style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThin White Text on Rich Black Backgrounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinor shifts may occur during printing.
