Quick tips to print perfection

Which file types can I use? arrow
We like to be as flexible as possible, so you can upload your files as PDF, JPEG, TIFF and PNG. PDF's and JPEGs are the most accepted file type across all our products, so we recommend using those wherever possible.
What is bleed? arrow
Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount.
What is safe area? arrow
The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print.
What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK? arrow
​​RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Gicée Fine Art Prints, Photographic Prints or Mugs, please set up your artwork in CMYK.
What are Versions? arrow
Our Versions service lets you print multiple designs using the same product specifications. For instance, if you have five different designs that share the same size, orientation, and paper stock, you can print them all at once using this service. By opting for Versions, you're increasing your overall quantity, which means you'll enjoy a lower cost per unit. To use Versions, simply select "yes" in the product builder when prompted with "Do you want to print more than one design?". When using Versions, the quantity you enter in the product builder applies to each design. For example, if you choose a quantity of 10 with 5 Versions, you'll receive a total of 50 prints.
What is personalisation? arrow
Personalisation is a simple, cost-effective way to tailor each of your individual prints. You can use personalisation for different text elements like names, addresses, and even personalised messages. However, if the text content on your design is the same for all prints, you don't need personalisation. There are two main options for personalising your print - you can either choose to add the personalised elements to your artwork yourself, or send us your artwork with a placeholder and a CSV containing a list of all the names/ personalised elements, and we’ll merge the two for you.
Why do I need to embed fonts? arrow
If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing.
Everything you need to know about resolution arrow
Remember to save your artwork out at a minimum of 300dpi resolution. This will ensure that when printed, your artwork quality is as crisp as possible.

These templates are ready-to-use and formatted with the correct dimensions, including bleed, ensuring your artwork is print-ready. If you'd like design inspiration or guidance, feel free to reach out to The Team for assistance.

Should I set up my artwork as spreads or single pages for Birthday Cards?

Getting ready to print your Birthday Cards? Setting up your card design for printing might feel a little daunting, but don’t stress—we’re here to make it simple. Follow these straightforward steps, and your designs will be press-ready in no time.


Preparing Your Artwork
Birthday Cards have four sides you can print on. You can set up your artwork in one of two ways:
  • Two separate pages split down the middle (this is where the fold will be)
  • Four individual pages (representing the outer and inner sides of your card)
Choose the Right Card Size
If you’re uploading your design as two-page spreads, the width should be double the card’s size when folded. For example, if your card measures 150mm x 150mm folded, the total size when it’s open is 300mm wide (2 x 150mm). If you’re working with single pages, make sure each one matches the exact folded dimensions.

Top Tip: You can use our free Birthday Card templates for an easy start. They include all the essentials—clearly labelled sections, folds, and trim lines for every size.

Setting Up Printed Sides
It’s important to arrange your pages correctly so your card looks perfect once folded. Here's how:
Short and Long Edge Folds
  • Page 1: Back Cover, Front Cover Page 2: Inside Front, Inside Back
  • Alternatively, you can set your artwork up as four individual pages in this order: Front Cover Inside Front Inside Back Back Cover
Tent Folds For tent-folded cards (standing upright like a tent):
  • Page 1: Front Cover (upside down), Back Cover Page 2: Inside Front, Inside Back
  • Or separate into four pages like this: Front Cover (upside down) Inside Front Inside Back Back Cover
Now your Birthday Cards are all set for printing! Let's make someone’s special day extra memorable—happy printing!

How do I use Personalisation?

Creating personalised birthday cards is effortless with our service! We offer two simple ways to get the perfect custom cards:


1. My Artwork Already Includes Personalised Text
Choose this option if you've already added personalised text (like names or addresses) to your artwork. Ideal if you have a small number of personalised prints to order. For Double-Sided Designs: Page 1 is your front design. Page 2 is the back design (include one for every personalised front, even if the back is the same).

2. I Need Printed.com to Add Personalised Text for Me
If you'd like us to merge your artwork with personalised information (e.g., names, messages, or addresses), this is for you! Here’s how to make it happen:
  • Replace any personalised text in your artwork with ‘[personalise here]’.
  • Create a spreadsheet (e.g., Excel) with all the details (e.g., names or personalised messages) in one column.
  • Double-check the spelling and capitalisation in your spreadsheet.
  • Save your spreadsheet as a .CSV file.
  • Upload your design PDF and .CSV file together when placing your order.
Top Tip: For a flawless finish, ensure variable text matches your desired font, size, and CMYK colours. Avoid outlining or embedding fonts in your PDF, so we can easily personalise as needed.

If you’re unsure or need assistance at any step, don’t worry—The Team is here to help! Just get in touch with us. Make birthdays even more special with beautifully personalised cards!

Can I add Envelopes to my order?

Absolutely! You can add Envelopes in a variety of stunning papers and colours through our product builder. And here’s the best part—our White Envelopes are completely free! Need to keep your Birthday Card and Envelope together? You can also include biodegradable Cellophane Bags with your order for a neat and eco-friendly touch.
