The margins are critical to getting your business
card design to print properly.
First, your
background image or color must go to the edge of the business card
design canvas. All text must fit within the inner guides. No text in the
margins.
Sample business
card design:
The background photo goes all the way to the edge of the business card design
but the text all fits within the inner guides.
After Printing,
the bleed margin gets cut away, but any images or color that goes to the
edge of the printed card must go to the edge of the design canvas (beyond
where we cut them) or you will have tiny white lines on the edges of some
of your cards. Cutting is not a perfect, exact process.
These margins
are critical, we cannot make them smaller without compromising your design.
With a little experience, anyone with a good graphics program can create print-ready business card designs. View the photoshop
tutorial for step-by-step instructions to create your own business card template file.
