DESIGN GUIDE
Use these checks before uploading artwork to reduce trim problems and speed up approval.
Resolution
Use artwork at 300 DPI or higher at final size. Avoid enlarging small web images because this does not restore missing detail.
Bleed
Extend backgrounds and full-bleed images beyond the final trim line on every side. Do not add a white border unless it is intentional.
Safe area
Keep text, logos, borders and important faces away from the trim edge. Thin borders make normal cutting variation easier to notice, so use generous margins whenever possible.
Color and transparency
Flatten unintended transparency and check very dark artwork for lost shadow detail. Screen colors can appear brighter than printed ink.
File organization
- Use PNG, JPG or print-ready PDF as specified by the product.
- Name files in card order.
- Keep fronts and backs in separate folders.
- Include a reference sheet for the intended sequence.
- Proofread every card before payment.
Final review
Use the online preview to check orientation, crop and missing files. A saved design is not released to production until the related Deckvo order is paid and approved.
