Bleed area: 4.29” x 5.98”
Make sure your background extends to fill the bleed area (to avoid nasty white edges!)
Trim: 4.13” x 5.83”
This is where we aim to cut your cards.
Safe area: 3.97” x 5.66”
Make sure important aspects of your design (like text and logos) are inside the safe area (to avoid the chop!)
Foils Guidelines
Foils
Create Two files. One for the artwork, one for the Foils. The artwork file will house the main design image. CMYK color 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.
