Question

How can I make sure my file orientation is correct when ordering key cards or other items with specific directionality?

Answer

For items with a required direction, like key cards used at door readers, the proof is where you confirm orientation before anything prints.

  • When you upload, review the proof carefully and check the image faces the way you intend.
  • Confirm elements align and read correctly in the intended direction.
  • If the proof shows the wrong orientation, reject it and resubmit the file rotated correctly.
  • Only approve once the proof matches how the finished piece will be used.

A careful proof check prevents reprints on directional products.
