Please make sure your artwork matches your size and folding specifications.

Standard business card size is 3.5 x 2".

Proof

A proof is an early version of your project that closely represents how it will look when printed. Please review your proof carefully so we can make adjustments before sending your project to press for online printing. 

Soft Proof (Digital PDF)

A soft proof is a digital PDF proof that demonstrates size, placement and text of a file. It allows you to proofread content, visualize bleed, trim size, folding and any other finishing options.

  • We recommend reviewing your proof in Adobe Reader. 

  • Digital proofs do not show transparency or overprint areas, nor do they show color shifts resulting from the conversion of RGB or Pantone spot colors to CMYK. 

  • For folded pieces, we recommend printing and folding your proof to confirm your artwork is in place.
