Membership Card Printing

Make your members feel important with sharp-looking membership cards. You might think nobody uses physical membership cards today, but that’s far from true. Smart marketers know that a physical card represents value to each member. It’s a reminder of the privileges they have as a member and a tangible symbol of their success. Mailing physical cards gives you another way to market your organization. We use die cuts, special coatings and your specifications to print cards that show your organization at its best.

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
