Here are the steps for requesting customized artwork printing.
Print resolution |
- All images must be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).
|
Size |
- Artwork must be at least 90 mm x 58 mm at 300 dpi (bleed area included).
- Remark: Finished product conforms to ISO 7810-ID1 (85.6 mm x 54 mm).
|
Artwork format |
- We accept vector-based files created using Adobe Illustrator (.ai) and Corel Draw (.cdr) ONLY.
- Supply all linked graphics such as Tiff or EPS files.
- Please do NOT reserve the area for the contact smart card chip on your artwork; this could lead to alignment problems. Instead, simply indicate your desired module location in your printing instructions.
- We may fine-tune the artwork to ensure printing quality.
|
Color |
- We accept CMYK and Pantone. Please indicate Pantone IDs.
- RGB files will NOT be accepted.
|
Fonts |
- Any fonts used should be converted to curves (outlines) prior to submission.
- If your text is not outlined, make sure to include all fonts (including font type and size) used in the design.
- In case you need to print serial numbers, font type and size must be provided.
|
Proof |
- No matter what the format or transfer method, artwork should never be submitted without proofs (.jpg) or (.pdf). Hard copies of properly prepared PDF files are often suitable.
