Use Elements Wisely
For best results, follow these essential guidelines.
Gold Foil
Treat the Foil as its own color that will print on top of the rest of your design, obscuring anything beneath. Foil should take a different shape than any of the artwork below it to prevent a messy halo effect.
Spot Gloss and Raised Gloss
Think of Gloss as an enhancement to the existing colors of your main design file. The exception to this rule would be if you’re adding a gloss design over a dark, solid color.
Want print perfection? Use our checklist!
Printing with Elements is a unique challenge, so make sure it meets these requirements.
Text
Keep all text at 10pt or higher.
Lines
Sharp lines need to be at 1pt or thicker.
Imagery
Make artwork a vector PDF, photographs at 300dpi or higher and file size a maximum of 50Mb.
Cropmarks
No need! We automatically add them in exactly the right place.

Bleed Area: 88mm x 59mm
Make sure your background extends to fill the bleed area (to avoid nasty white edges!)
Trim: 84mm x 55mm
This is where we aim to cut your cards.
Safe Area: 80mm x 51mm
Make sure important aspects of your design (like text and logos) are inside the safe area (to avoid the chop!)
How to Prepare Your Design
Create Two files
One for the artwork, one for the Elements. The artwork file will house the main design image. CMYK colour file in PDF, PNG, JPG, or GIF format. The element file will define where the element is applied on top of your design. B&W PDF file only.
