Artwork Guidelines

All Cards should be 1 ) CMYK colour mode 2) At least 300dpi

Postcard Dimensions:

Postcard A6 (standard size) is 148.5 x 105mm. However cards should measure 154.5 x 111mm to include a bleed. Please keep all text away from edges. The reason you need to add a bleed to your artwork is because the cards can move by up to 3mm during the cutting process. For this reason we also recommend that you do not add any thin borders to your designs.

A5 postcards are 148.5 x 210mm. However cards should measure 151.5 x 213mm to include a bleed. Please keep all text away from edges.

Business Card Dimensions:

Our business cards measure 90x 55mm. However cards should measure 96 x 61mm to include a bleed. Please keep all text away from edges.

Greeting Card Dimensions:

Our greeting cards measure 148.5 x 210mm. When folded they are A6 in size. However cards should measure 151.5 x 216mm to include a Bleed. Please keep all text away from edges.

Eco-friendly Digital Printing

All of our postcards, greeting cards and business cards are printed on two different recycled stocks called Iprint and Recycled Revive.

These are printed on HP Indigo presses which support environmentally responsible printing. Printing is an industrial process, but digital printing is a computerised process, which is by nature less demanding of resources and less wasteful than conventional print. Digital printing is better for the environment because it creates less waste: fewer chemicals are used in the process and there is little, if any, paper waste.

HP ElectroInk is the single most recognizable difference between HP Indigo digital printing and all other forms of digital printing. HP ElectroInk comes in cartridges in paste form and is diluted with imaging oil, this produces the "look and feel of offset" that differentiates it from dry toner digital printing.

We are also part of the 1% for the Planet Alliance. This means we donate 1% of our sales to environmental organisations each year. Last year we donated to Irish Seed Savers.
