Question
What file format should I use for Plastic Card designs?
Answer
Submit plastic card artwork as a high-resolution, print-ready file so fine details and small text stay crisp on the smooth PVC surface.
- Format: high-resolution PDF.
- Resolution: 300 DPI at final size.
- Color mode: CMYK.
- Bleed: 0.125 inches on all sides, with key content kept inside the safe zone.
For clear and frosted cards, include a separate white ink layer to mark which areas should stay opaque versus see-through. Reviewing a proof before printing lets you confirm colors, white ink, and layout are correct.
