For business cards create guides 3mm and 6mm from each edge, and for postcards create guides 1.5mm and 4.5mm from each edge.
Design your card onto this page. Items that bleed should extend to the edge of the file. The 3mm guide is where your card will be cut, the 6mm guide is an approximate text area.
You are now ready to create your design within this template.
Please note, nothing should extend to the outside edge of the document other than items that bleed off the edge of your cards.
The first guide line 3mm (business cards), (1.5mm postcards) is where the cards will be cut and you should try to keep all your text and images within the inner line 6mm (business cards), (4.5mm postcards) to avoid the possibility of anything being ‘clipped’.
Very fine text, rules and keylines should be avoided.
