Artwork specifications
Bleed, safe margins, colour, resolution, file format
Small format, tight crops — verify artwork resolution in your browser.
| Requirement | What we need | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed | 3 mm on every edge | With crop marks offset by 3 mm. Anything running off the page has to extend past the trim, or a white hairline appears along the cut edge. |
| Safe margin | Text 5 mm clear of the trim | Trimming moves by a fraction of a millimetre across a run. Type sitting on the trim line will look uneven from copy to copy. |
| Colour mode | CMYK, not RGB | Bright RGB blues and greens sit outside the CMYK gamut and print duller than they look on screen. Send Pantone references for brand colours. |
| Resolution at final size | 300 dpi at the finished size | Measured on the printed piece, not in the file. A 72 dpi web image scaled up stays 72 dpi. |
| File format | PDF preferred — but send what you have | We accept virtually any artwork format and check every file in-house before production. If anything needs adjusting we will tell you immediately, before we print. |
| Fonts | Outlined, or fully embedded | Outlined is safer on urgent work: there is no substitution risk at 3am when nobody is at a desk to answer. |
| Images | Embedded in the PDF | PDF/X-4 embeds everything by default. Linked images that did not travel with the file are a common cause of a job stalling. |
| Transparency | Supported — no need to flatten | PDF/X-4 carries live transparency. Flattening by hand often causes the white boxes and colour shifts it was meant to avoid. |
| Guest names | Supply the list as a spreadsheet, not as artwork | One column of names, spelled and accented exactly as you want them printed. We set them into the template in one run. |
Before you upload
- Export as PDF/X-4
- Convert fonts to outlines
- Extend backgrounds into the bleed
- Keep important content inside the safe margin
- Supply images at 300 dpi at the finished size
- Check the page size matches the finished trim size
Send the file even where there is doubt about it. We check bleed, resolution, embedded fonts and page size before anything goes on press, and where a fix is small it is usually just done. A two-minute reply at 9pm is faster than a re-export at 7am.
What turns a same-day job into a next-day one is almost never the printing. It is a question that has to go back to you and sit unanswered — artwork built at the wrong finished size, a logo supplied at screen resolution, or type running off the trim with no bleed behind it. Getting the six points above right removes nearly every one of those.
Names merged from your guest list, not handwritten
Add a touch of elegance to your corporate gala or wedding with our custom, personalised Place Cards and Table Name Cards, printed on premium card stock. We use Variable Data Printing (VDP) technology to merge your Excel guest list directly onto the cards. This means every guest gets a neatly printed name card—no messy handwriting required.
We print on 250, 350, 400 or 450gsm uncoated or silk card, and the weight costs the same whichever you pick — it is a decision about how the card feels, not about price. 350gsm is the standard for a tent fold, because it holds the crease and stands up firmly on the table. We handle last-minute guest changes for major events at The Grosvenor, The Ritz, and other top London venues. Simply email us the updated list, and we will rush the replacements to you.
Q&A
Yes. Provide us with an Excel list of names, and we will print a personalized card for every guest.
We hold 250, 350, 400 and 450gsm uncoated or silk card, and the weight you choose does not change the price. 350gsm is the standard for a folded tent card, because it holds the fold and stands up on the table without bending.
Absolutely. We print in full colour, so you can include your company logo or event branding on every card.
A simple Excel spreadsheet or CSV file is perfect. One column for "First Name" and one for "Surname."
