A perfect print result is our top priority. To meet these demands, we set certain minimum requirements for your print data so that we can achieve the best possible print result for you.
The standard credit card-sized plastic cards are 86 x 54 mm in size and have a corner radius of 3 mm. Your layout or data format must include a 2 mm bleed. This prevents the creation of a white border when trimming the plastic cards.
Please use the CMYK Euroscale when creating your card layout. RGB colors cannot be used, and subsequent conversion could result in significant color changes. The print resolution must be at least 300 dpi.
To achieve the best possible quality, we recommend using vectorized rather than pixel-based files in your layout (for example, for your company logo). In any case, fonts must be converted to outlines.
We accept the following file formats:
• .pdf – print-ready PDF
• .psd – Adobe Photoshop
• .ai or .eps – Adobe Illustrator
We have summarized all print data requirements for you in the “General Print Specifications” PDF.

Requirements for database and photo files for personalizing cards
Many cards are personalized with a name, number, and photo, which is ideal for employee ID cards, for example. To ensure smooth and fast production, your print data must be precisely structured. The photos must also meet certain requirements.
We have summarized all personalization requirements for you in the PDF “Excel Table & Photo Requirements”.
