Question

Do I need to set up my file differently for edge gilded cards?

Answer

No. An edge gilded card uses the same artwork setup as any standard thick business card. The gilding is applied to the edges after printing and cutting, so it never touches your front and back design.

  • Keep the same full bleed and safe zone you would use on a standard thick card, so nothing important sits near the trim.
  • Design in CMYK at 300 DPI for print-ready output.
  • Do not add the edge color to your file. It is selected separately as a finishing option.
  • Start from the blank template 4OVER4.COM provides for each product in the edge gilded line, since the correct dimensions are already set.
