Make it yours.
Your file, by the numbers.
- PDF, AI, EPS or SVG work best; we check any file you send.
- A custom size: set the file to your size plus 0.125 in (3 mm) of bleed on every edge.
- Bleed area
Make sure your background and any photos extend to fill the bleed, 3 mm (0.125 in) past the trim on every side, so there are no white edges after cutting.
- Trim
This is where we aim to cut. The trim size is the finished size.
- Safe area
Keep anything important, such as text and logos, inside the safe area, 3 mm (0.125 in) in from the trim; otherwise it may be cut off.TBC

Die-Cut Business Cards, explained.
What to know before you order.
Which cards can be die-cut?
Letterpress and Metal.
How are die-cut shapes priced?
One price per card, the same whatever your design. The price per card falls as the quantity goes up.
How long does it take?
Cards with die-cut shapes take 5–7 business days on Letterpress; 12–15 business days on Metal. Shipping comes on top.
Can a die-cut card have rounded corners?
Not on cotton: the shape sets the whole outline, so its corners are the ones your shape draws.
Will you check my design before printing?
Yes. We check every file before it’s printed. If something needs fixing, we contact you before we print.
Can I order different papers or sizes together?
Add them as separate items; each design in one item shares the same options.
