What size should I design my greeting card file if I'm only designing the front?

Design your greeting card at the full card size even when only the front carries artwork. The press needs the complete file so trim, bleed, and the blank panels line up correctly.

• Start from a 4OVER4 greeting card template so your dimensions and fold match production exactly.
• Use the full card size, place your front design on the correct panel, and leave the other panels as intended.
• Add 1/8" (0.125") bleed on each side and keep key elements a safe margin inside the trim.
• Submit a print-quality PDF in CMYK color mode.
• RGB and Pantone colors are converted to CMYK during processing, so build in CMYK to preview the printed result.
