Important Notes on Embossing and Debossing

  • Embossed elements will create a debossed effect on the reverse side.
  • Debossed designs might leave slight impressions on the back.
  • For "No-Show Embossing" (no deboss on the reverse), request a custom quote.

Foil edge gilding is not available on postcards that include embossed elements.

Supply Die Lines As Vector Files

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.

Simple Shapes Save Money

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 Area Should Be Less than 2 Square Inches

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.

Foil Can Fluctuate

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 / Small Text Does Not Translate Well To Foil

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).

Leave Wiggle Room for Cutting

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.

Die Cut Holes or Space Between Die Cut Elements Need to Be 1/8"

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!

Die Size Matters

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.
