Question

How should I arrange my PDF file for double-sided business cards?

Answer

For double-sided business cards, arrange your PDF as a two-page file so the front and back print on the correct sides. Page order is what tells the press which artwork goes where.

Set it up like this:

  • Page 1 is the front of the card
  • Page 2 is the back of the card

Keep both pages the same size with matching bleed and orientation. Supplying the two sides as separate images or a single combined layout can cause them to print on the wrong faces, so a single PDF with the front first and back second is the reliable way to submit it.
