Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Card for print:
- Choose Card type
Select from available Card types: Flat single-sided, Flat double-sided or Folded double-sided at Cloudprinter.com. - Choose Card size
Check available sizes before sending your Card for global print with Cloudprinter.com. You may opt for the square, portrait or landscape orientation. - Set Card bleeds
The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Card to make sure all important information is kept safe. For this, simply add 3 mm (0.125 in) at each side of the Card. Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Card design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no white edges after cutting your Card. We also recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone — the 3 mm (0.125 in) inside of the cutting edge in order not to be clipped when cutting your Card. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Card. - Prepare Card file for printing
