- More Info:
- Use shaped cards for business introductions, promotional handouts, invitations, loyalty cards, appointment reminders and package inserts. Adhesive stock turns a shape into a label.
- Gloss stock adds shine; matte and uncoated surfaces give designs a softer appearance. Gloss UV coating helps protect the printed face from handling.
- Keep handwriting and additional printing off UV-coated surfaces. Choose 14 pt. Uncoated for handwritten appointment details or personal notes.
- High Gloss UV Front Only is available with 14 pt. Gloss. A coated front and uncoated back can differ in color and brightness. Check both printed sides before approval.
- For mailing, confirm the finished shape, dimensions, packaging and postage with your postal provider before printing. Unusual outlines may need an envelope or different handling.
- Cover refers to heavier card stock; book and text describe lighter paper. Gloss UV is shiny, aqueous coatings can have sheen, and matte has a low-sheen surface.
- Test pens on writable stocks before completing a batch. Coatings can interfere with ink adhesion; do not assume an aqueous-coated surface will accept writing.
- Avoid large, heavy areas of dark ink on uncoated paper, where ink can transfer to an adjacent sheet. Gloss tends to make colors appear brighter; matte and uncoated papers soften them.
- C2S means a sheet is coated on both sides. Coating terms explain the surface; the paper choices above describe the stocks available for this product.
Every paper option is printed in full color.

- Bleed:
- Allow 0.325 in bleed for these shapes, except Wink and the 3" x 3" Square, which use 0.1 in. Extend backgrounds past the cut line, and confirm the finished shape before placing text.
- Safe Zone:
- Keep text, logos and QR codes at least 0.125 in inside the cut line. Allow extra room near a leaf tip, wink end or rounded corner; the rectangular bounding box is not the usable area.
- Resolution:
- Prepare images at 350 dpi at the final printed size.
- Color Mode:
- Prepare print artwork in CMYK. Kraft and pearl backgrounds can change how the printed colors look.
- File Formats:
- Upload PDF, PNG, JPG, TIF or TIFF. Export EPS, AI, PSD, BMP and GIF artwork to one of these upload formats before sending it. Embed or outline PDF fonts and flatten raster layers; a high-quality JPG can reduce file size.
- Shape and Sides:
- Prepare one page per printed side with consistent orientation. Keep cutting guides out of printable artwork. Sticker stock needs front artwork only. Folding and hole drilling are not options for this product.
- Proof Review:
- Check the shape, finished size, front/back orientation, text and cut clearance on your digital proof before approval. Incorrect dimensions or missing bleed may need a revised file.
- File Upload Size:
- The upload dialog shows the current file-size limit. For larger files, contact our team with a download link.
- Instant Online Proof:
- Preview your uploaded artwork online and check the shape, size, spelling, margins and printed sides before approving it. Your approval confirms that you have checked the artwork for errors.
- Manually Reviewed PDF Proof:
- Our team can check your file specifications and contact you if a correction is needed. Review and approve your PDF proof before production. Ask our team for proof assistance.
- Included File Processing:
- Pricing includes processing one set of print files and preparing one proof. Check order progress through your account. Incorrect file dimensions or missing bleed can delay production; allow extra time around holidays.
