# Creating Business Card (Standard) Artwork

### **Download Our Standard Size Template**

To ensure proper formatting, you may start by downloading our **product template**.

#### **Bleed & Safe Zone Requirements**

- **Bleed Size:** **1.5mm on each side** (extends beyond the final trim to avoid white edges).
- **Safe Zone:** **2mm inside from the trim line** (to prevent important content from being cut off).

✅ **Example for a Standard Card:**

- **Actual Size:** **89mm x 54mm**
- **Bleed Size:** **92mm x 57mm** (with 1.5mm extra on each side)
- **Safe Zone:** **Within 85mm x 50mm**

⚠️ **Reminder:**

- Keep all critical elements **inside the safe zone**.
- Remove **guidelines** before submitting your final print file.
- Download and use our template for **precise artwork setup**.

### **Final File Submission Guidelines**

#### **File Format & Naming**

✅ **Save files in PDF format** with our required settings (**see how-to guide**).
✅ Each printing side must be saved as an **individual PDF file**:

- **Single-sided print:** `filename-front.pdf`
- **Double-sided print:**
  - Front: `filename-front.pdf`
  - Back: `filename-back.pdf`

✅ **For double-sided prints**, compress both files into a **ZIP folder** before submitting. You can use tools like [WinZip](http://www.winzip.com/).

#### **Before Submitting Your File, Ensure You:**

✅ **Outline all fonts** (to prevent missing fonts).
✅ **Convert colors to CMYK** for accurate print results.
✅ **Remove all guidelines** before finalizing the file.

Following these steps will help ensure a **smooth and error-free printing process**. 🚀
