Upload Center Instructions for Gloss Laminated Business Cards
Our gloss laminated business cards come in a standard size of 3.5 x 2 inches, which is the typical business card size. You can choose to have your design printed on both sides (double-sided) or just one side (single-sided).
For the coating, we offer two options to give your business cards that extra sheen and protection:
- Gloss Lamination 2 Sided – Both sides of your card will be covered with a sleek, shiny gloss finish.
- Gloss Lamination PG 1 Only – Only the first page will have the gloss lamination, leaving the second side with a standard finish.
If you want to add a modern twist to your cards, you can opt for rounded corners. Please indicate your preference:
- Rounded Corner - No: Standard square corners.
- Rounded Corner - Yes: Soft, rounded edges for a unique feel and look.
For the best results, we recommend using full bleed dimensions when designing your gloss laminated business cards. This means extending your background design slightly beyond the standard dimensions to a bleed size of 3.625 x 2.125 inches. This ensures that there is no unprinted margin when the card is trimmed to size.
It is also important to keep all your text and important visuals within the safe margin, which is at least 0.125 inches from the edge of the card. This helps prevent any vital information from being cut off during the trimming process.
The required resolution for your design files should be 300 dpi (dots per inch) to ensure that the images and text on your business cards are crisp and clear.
We are adamant about our quality, which is why we print our gloss laminated business cards on premium 18pt Cardstock. This thicker material gives your cards a sturdy and luxurious feeling that's perfect for making a solid first impression.
Please ensure that your files are in CMYK color mode and are saved as PDF, JPG, or TIFF format for the best printing results. If you have any questions or need assistance with your design, our team is here to help!
