Linked Graphics – Be sure to include or embed all of your placed / imported images when you send your artwork.

All images must be in CMYK color.

Make sure your artwork’s resolution is at least 300 dpi. This resolution will ensure that your design will appear crisp and sharp instead of blurry.

Make sure to include “bleed” with your artwork. Image “bleed” is where you want the image to fill a background completely to the edges of the card. The image must extend beyond the trim area so that color will go edge to edge if there is a slight variance in the trim cuts. Image bleed is defined in each template.
