Are design templates available for plastic identification cards?

Yes. Blank templates are available for plastic identification cards, and they are the safest starting point for your design. Download the blank template that matches your card, then build your artwork directly on top of it so everything falls inside the printable area.

When you design on the blank template, keep these in mind:

• Place logos, photos, and text inside the safe zone, away from the trim edge
• Leave room for any slot punch, magnetic stripe, or signature panel you are adding
• Set images to 300 DPI or higher so IDs stay sharp at small sizes
• Build the file in CMYK to keep colors accurate on the final card
