Useful Tips
Ecardz can design a card for you from your supplied photos and layout ideas. If you are designing your own card we can supply a blank template for you to use. Points to remember when designing a card:
- Artwork needs to include a 3mm bleed for die-cutting purposes
- It is best to keep the background quite plain in the area where cardholder details will be printed
- Images on screen will appear much larger than on a finished card, make sure fonts for text are not small and fine as they may not be easy to read on a card.
- If cards are to be placed in a cardholder or are to be hole-punched, the important design elements should not be placed close to the card edge.
- Finished card size is 85.6 mm x 53.98 mm
