Design guidelines

Artwork, sorted

Follow these simple rules and your print will come out exactly as you expect. Download a free template for your size to get it right first time.

  • File type

    A print-ready PDF is safest. JPG, PNG, TIFF, AI and EPS files are fine too.

  • Size & bleed

    Set up your file at the artwork size below: the finished size plus 3mm bleed on every edge. Extend backgrounds into the bleed so there are no white edges after cutting.

  • Safe area

    Keep text, logos and anything important at least 4mm inside the trim line.

  • Resolution

    Images should be 300dpi at full size. Use original photos: screenshots and images sent through WhatsApp print soft and blurry.

  • Colour

    Use CMYK for the most accurate colour. RGB files are converted for print, and very bright colours can look a little duller.

  • Text & fonts

    Use 6pt text or larger and keep it 4mm inside the edge so nothing is trimmed.

  • Made in Canva or Word?

    In Canva choose Download > PDF Print and tick “Crop marks and bleed”. From Word, use Save as PDF.

  • We check every file

    A real person checks your artwork before printing and will contact you if anything could cause a problem. We don’t proofread spelling, so please check your text.

Your business cards questions, answered

Still not sure? Message us and a real person will reply.

Ask on WhatsApp
Which card should I pick?

400gsm Uncoated is thick, natural and easy to write on, and it is the card we can print same day. Matt laminated is tougher and resists scuffs. Soft-touch has a velvety finish that feels premium in the hand.

Can the back be different from the front?

Yes. Choose double sided and upload a two-page PDF: page 1 is the front and page 2 is the back.

Can you design my business cards?

Yes. Send us your logo and details on WhatsApp and we will design them for you to approve.

When will I get my business cards?

Choose Same Day Collection or Same Day Delivery (Manchester) and have your artwork approved before 7:00pm on a working day, and we print it that day. 3 Working Days and 5 Working Days are delivered by DPD. The estimated delivery date box above shows the exact date for every option before you order.

I ordered after 7:00pm or at the weekend. When will it arrive?

We start on the next working day, so every date moves forward by a day. For example, an order placed on Friday evening or at the weekend starts on Monday. The dates in the delivery box are always up to date.

What sizes do you do?

You can order Standard 85mm x 55mm, Square 55mm x 55mm online. Need a different size? Send us a message and we will quote for it.

Do I need to add bleed?

Yes, please add 3mm on every edge and keep text and logos 4mm inside the trim. Our free templates above already include both. If your file has no bleed, we will check it and let you know the options.

What file format is best?

A print-ready PDF at the artwork size. We also accept JPG, PNG, TIFF, AI and EPS. CMYK gives the most accurate colour.

What resolution should my artwork be?

300dpi at full size. Use original images, not screenshots or photos that have been compressed by WhatsApp or social media.

Will you check my artwork?

Can I design it in Canva?
