Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you print my business cards?
Same-day is often possible. Let us know your deadline — we’ll confirm availability and any express charges.
What size should I design my file?
Set your document to 91 × 61 mm with 3 mm bleed. Keep text at least 3 mm inside the trim (safe zone).
Which file formats do you accept?
PDF (preferred), JPEG, PNG, TIFF — or a ZIP with all linked assets and fonts embedded/outlined.
Will colours on paper match my screen?
Screens display RGB light; print uses CMYK inks. We convert non-CMYK files to CMYK to achieve the closest practical match.
Do you check my file before printing?
Yes — we sanity-check size, bleed and resolution. If something’s off, we’ll contact you before print.
