Question

Can you add rounded corners to printed pieces like cards?

Answer

Yes, rounded corners are a common add-on for cards and similar printed pieces. Instead of sharp 90-degree corners, the edges are trimmed to a smooth curve, which gives the piece a softer, more modern look and helps resist bent or frayed corners.

  • How to request it: select the rounded-corner option when you order, or note it clearly in your order comments and design submission.
  • Radius: the standard curve is a 3/8" radius on all four corners unless you specify a different one. A small radius like 1/8" gives a subtle softening, while a larger radius creates a more pronounced curve.
  • Not sure which to pick: a smaller radius is a safe, understated choice for most designs.
  • Design impact: keep logos and text inside the safe zone so nothing is clipped by the curve.
  • Durability bonus: rounded corners are less prone to dog-earing in wallets and pockets.
