Artwork Tips

Setting up the pre-press files for your game cards correctly is essential to ensure a seamless printing process. Here are the steps to follow:

Design your game cards: Use professional design software to create the artwork for your game cards. Make sure to set the correct dimensions and resolution (300 DPI or higher) to ensure high-quality printing.

Include bleed: Extend the background of your design beyond the actual card size by an additional 1/8 inch (3 mm) to account for any cutting discrepancies during the printing process. This is known as the bleed area.

Set up the color profile: Convert your design to CMYK color mode, as this is the standard color profile for printing. RGB color mode, commonly used for digital designs, may result in color variations when printed.

Embed fonts: If you are using any custom fonts for your game cards, ensure that you embed them in your design file. This ensures that the fonts are correctly displayed during the printing process.

Save your file: Save your pre-press file in a high-resolution, print-ready format such as PDF. Double-check that all the elements of your design are intact and that there are no errors or missing links.
