Business Cards

Standard Business Card Product Specs

Standard business cards are digitally printed on high-quality 12.4 pt. 120 lb. coverstock paper and are available in either a glossy or matte finish.  

(The term "pt" refers to "points," a unit of measurement for describing the thickness of paper or other materials. A point is equivalent to 0.0254 millimeters, or one thousandth of an inch. For instance, a sheet of paper with a 10 point thickness is 0.01 inches or 0.254 millimeters thick.

When referring to paper, "pounds" means the weight in pounds of a ream (500 sheets) of paper. The basic sheet size of the paper, which varies based on the type of paper, determines its weight.)

Artwork Specs / File Tips

• Uploaded files must be under 100 MB. 

• No bleeds are necessary.

• Set up your artwork proportionate to the exact card size you are ordering.

• Convert all text to outlines.

• Make sure no elements are selected for "Overprint"
• Make sure all blacks are set to a rich black CMYK mix of(100-100-100-100)

We print in four-color CMYK or six-color CMYKLcLm. Please keep this in mind when submitting files for printing, as color tone shifting may happen if the file is submitted in an RGB format. If there is a specific PMS color you need, please specify that to us when submitting your order so that we can help you verify that the proper color mix is used (for vector artwork only).

Customer-supplied files are printed as they are received, so we cannot guarantee color, clarity, or final output as we are just printing the supplied files and have not set them up for printing.

All of our printers are calibrated daily to International Color Consortium (ICC) color profile standards to ensure accurate color production.

**Please note if your artwork contains complex gradients, textures, patterns or you are creating it in a software other than Adobe Illustrator, please flatten your artwork to avoid any printing issues**

We can also print 300 dpi or higher resolution files:
