Flat Greeting Card Specifications

If you are doing a custom size or do not see a template in the application you are using, please be sure to use the following specifications to design your flat greeting card.

Greeting Card Tips

Orientation: 5x7 is tall (portrait) and 7x5 is wide (landscape). Choose the same one on the order form.
Photos: Use the original files from your phone or camera. Images saved from social media or text messages are usually too small and will print blurry.
Other design apps: Set your page to the card size, turn on bleed if the app offers it, and export a print-quality PDF. Not sure it’s right? Add a Digital Proof to your order or call us at 877-613-1913.

How to Save Your Files for Print

To ensure the best print results, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 300 dpi
Bleed: 1/8" (0.125") on all sides
Color Mode: CMYK (or spot colors when applicable)
File Format: PDF (with fonts embedded or outlined)

Important Notes

• Make sure images are not compressed (turn off downsampling when exporting)
• Backgrounds that touch the edge must extend 0.125" beyond the trim line (bleed)
• You may include crop marks, but do not include file names or timestamps — it can throw off the layout
• Embed or outline all fonts to ensure crisp, clean text and avoid font errors
