  • Professional print quality

From corporate Christmas cards to church celebrations, from retail thank-you notes to personal milestones — we help you deliver messages that feel as special as they read.

Preparing your greeting card artwork correctly ensures accurate folding, clean trimming, and professional print quality. Whether you’re printing corporate Christmas cards, church celebration cards, or personalised messages, correct file setup avoids production delays.

At Print Prime, we check every file before printing — but following this guide guarantees the best results.

1. File Format – Submit as Print-Ready PDF

Please supply your greeting card artwork as a PDF to Print file.

Why PDF?

  • Preserves fonts and layout

  • Prevents artwork movement

  • Maintains image quality

  • Ensures accurate print scaling

If you designed your card in Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, or PowerPoint — export as PDF before submission.

IMPORTANT – Your PDF Must Be FLAT

Your PDF file must be flattened (FLAT).

A flat PDF means:

  • No layers

  • No transparency effects

  • No hidden objects

  • All artwork merged correctly

Flattened files prevent print and folding alignment issues.

Canva Users – Exporting Flat PDF

If your design was created in Canva:

  1. Click Download

  2. Choose PDF Print

  3. Tick Flatten PDF (Flat PDF)

  4. Download and submit

This ensures your greeting cards print exactly as designed.

2. Greeting Card Size Setup

Always design your card at the flat size (open size) — not folded size.

Example:

A5 folded card → Flat size = A4

Common setups:

  • A6 folded card → Flat A5 (148 × 210 mm)

  • A5 folded card → Flat A4 (210 × 297 mm)

  • DL folded card → Flat A4 folded into thirds

  • Square 148 mm card → Flat 296 × 148 mm

Designing at flat size ensures correct front/back alignment.

3. Fold Line Placement

Fold lines must be clearly centred.

Example:

A5 folded card (flat A4 landscape):

  • Fold line at 148.5 mm centre

Keep text and logos at least 10 mm away from the fold to avoid cracking or misalignment.

If unsure, Print Prime can add fold guides for you.

4. Bleed Setup

If your design has background colour or images to the edge, bleed is required.

Standard Bleed:

Add 3 mm bleed on all sides.

Example:

Flat A4 size: 210 × 297 mm
With bleed: 216 × 303 mm

This prevents white edges after trimming.

5. Safe Margins

Keep all important elements inside safe margins:

  • Text

  • Logos

  • Messages

  • Borders

Recommended safe margin:

5–10 mm inside trim edge
10 mm from fold line

6. Image Resolution (DPI)

For sharp greeting card printing:

  • 300 DPI – Recommended

  • Minimum 150 DPI – Acceptable

  • Below 150 DPI – Risk of blur

Important for photo cards and corporate branding visuals.

7. Colour Mode

For accurate print colours:

  • Use CMYK colour mode

  • Avoid neon RGB tones

  • Expect slight screen vs print variation

Printers at Print Prime are calibrated for vibrant card reproduction.

  • PDF Print format
