  3. Colored Edges – Apply color to the edge of the card to create a polished, high-end appearance.
  4. Soft Touch Lamination – A smooth, velvety surface that adds both a luxurious feel and extra durability.

Preparing Your Artwork For Custom ID Card Orders

Please follow these steps to prepare your artwork and data files for your ID card printing:

  1. Submit your artwork in one of these file types: Illustrator .ai or .eps, Photoshop file, InDesign file, or a press-ready PDF. Please include the fonts used in your file when you submit your order.
  2. If your card is not the size of a credit card, please obtain the proper die line from your Cardprinting.com representative. Here is a link for the template to use for the credit card size card.
  3. Create the layout for your master ID card. You don't have to create all the ID cards - we will do that for you.
  4. Create a data file containing a separate column for each variable data element, such as First Name, Last Name, Job Title, and Company Name. Make sure to include any information that will change from card to card. Also, if your design uses all capital letters, submit your data in upper case.
  5. If your order is for photo ID cards, include a column in your excel file that contains the EXACT file name (including the file extension). The photograph must be in one of these formats: .jpg, .bmp, .psd, .png, or .tif.
  6. Make sure any photo used is 300 dpi and cropped to the exact size reserved for the photo in the master ID file.

That's it! By following these steps, you'll be on your way to receiving your custom ID cards.
