Explore our artwork guide ↗Can the reverse be written on or stamped?+
Choose a suitable uncoated surface if you need handwriting, a message or a stamp on the reverse. Coatings and lamination can affect how ink takes to the surface, so ask us which available stock will suit your intended use.
What should I leave clear around the edges?+
Keep text and logos within the safe area shown on the template. Extend backgrounds into the bleed. For swing tags, also leave clear space around the drill-hole position.
When does my turnaround start?+
Your turnaround starts when payment, all required print-ready files and any requested proof approval are complete before the applicable cut-off. Placing an order without supplying suitable artwork does not start production.
For example, a three-working-day turnaround begins once your files are ready, not when you first place the order. Late files or artwork corrections move the estimated delivery date. Weekends and bank holidays can affect timing.
Set up your artwork
Add 3mm bleed on every edge. Keep text, logos and QR codes at least 3mm inside the finished edge, or further in if your template specifies.
In Illustrator or InDesign, use the finished size plus a separate 3mm bleed setting. In Photoshop, use the full size including bleed. Canva users: use the finished size and export with bleed.
File setup & export checklist
- Supply a print-ready PDF. Use CMYK where available and high-resolution images, ideally 300ppi at final size for close-up print.
- Extend backgrounds into the bleed. Keep essential content inside the safe area.
- For single-sided print, supply one page. For double-sided print, supply two pages at the same size.
- Check every word, number and QR code. We check technical suitability; we do not proofread.
If you select foil or Spot UV, supply a separate finishing mask aligned exactly to the print artwork. Ask us for the setup requirements before exporting.
