Production Details
Because these postcards involve specialty materials and custom finishes, production timelines can vary. If you are working with a specific deadline, we encourage you to reach out before placing your order. Once production has started, orders cannot be revised or canceled.
Please supply your die line file in Vector format, if you need help preparing your die line, watch the tutorial video or select the option to have us create your die line for you.
The prices listed are for cards cut to simple custom shapes. If your cards require intricate cutting, we will need to provide a custom estimate. We will let you know if your die line requires a custom estimate during the file check process.
Foil is based on an estimated foil size of around 1" x 2". Full foil coverage, or borders that go around the edge of the card require a larger die and would need to be custom quoted for the additional die size.
With the foil stamping, you can expect some slight shifting throughout the print run between each foil layer, or spot gloss and foil. There may be up to 1/16" shift on the placement of the foil. Keep this in mind if you are trying to align foil with other printed artwork on the card.
Fine detail in foil stamped elements can fill in (the center of an "e" or "a" in small type, or fine detail in an image or complex logo).
During the die-cutting process, there will be a degree of shifting of the cut. A good design leaves a 1/8" critical margin inside the trim line to compensate for this shifting. Art that extends to the edge of the card requires a 1/8" bleed.
Any hole or interior shape that will die cut needs to be at least 1/8" in diameter. Say you were die cutting a letter U shape, the aperture in the U (the space between the two stems) must be at least 1/8". Small cut like this may not be strip away during cutting but a gentle tap will knock it out!
The die line must fit within the size ordered; for example if you order a 4" x 6" die cut card, your shape must fit within a 4" x 6" boundary.
Foil Stamping | Embossing | Debossing | Spot UV Gloss: Include a separate file/artboard with these elements coloured in 100% black or a custom spot colour to denote each element. Alternatively, if you would like to include these elements in the same file, place each element on a separate layer in 100% black or a custom spot colour.
Die Line: supply a file that includes a vector path outline indicating the shape and size of your die cut card. Pricing is based on simple shape, so your die line should be as simple as possible or the order may be placed on hold to quote the complex die.
Bleeds: all files must have a 1/8" bleed on each side
Live Area: keep all critical text and artwork 1/8" inside the trim
Fonts: fonts must converted to curves/outlines (we do not accept fonts).
Transparencies: flatten all transparencies
Types Of Files We Accept: MAC & PC files from Illustrator (EPS or AI), CorelDraw (CDR or EPS) and Adobe Acrobat PDF.
