Points to bear in mind for plastic card files:

• Finished card size is 53.9 x 85.7 mm
• Always check that all artwork/images are embedded in the file to avoid problems when opening.
• If you are delivering several files by e-mail use a programme like WinRar or Zip to compress them. You can also send your files via WeTransfer.
• Image resolution: 600 dpi. (At least 300 dpi).
• Text resolution: if you are unable to supply it as a vector object, please supply it in high resolution of at least 600 dpi.
• Embed, supply or convert fonts to letter outlines.
• Open file (eg. InDesign package or Illustrator): provide all associated images and fonts.
• Supporting colours: use the Pantone name.
• Floated images with 3 mm float on all sides.
• Do not cut a magnetic strip (if there is one) into the design.
• Rounded corners: 3 mm cross-section. We wil apply this automatically; you not need to add this to the file.
• Black text: define as 100% process black (in overprint). So do not build it up.
• In the case of a PDF: put everything in a single layer and do not leave any invisible or unprintable layers in the file.
