Step 1: Prepare Your Design for Print
Before uploading your artwork, make sure your file is print-ready.

- Match your document size exactly to the card size you plan to order.
For edge-to-edge printing, include proper bleed settings (typically 0.125 inches on all sides).
Step 2: Confirm File Requirements
- Accepted file types: PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF
- Recommended resolution: 300 DPI minimum
