IMPORTANT

Trimming: Trimming may vary up to +/- 1mm. Please keep this in mind for your cards end purpose.

* Border Warning for artwork with graphic borders close to the trim or on the trim:

Warning ** 0.5~1mm cutting error is very common during the trimming process and we do not regard it as a printing error.

Unevenly-cut borders will appear very obvious for this type of artwork.

We recommend that you adjust the borders to be well within the card art.

By being made aware of this issue and understanding the risk, once you agree to proceed you are responsible for the result.

Colours: Colours may vary from print run to print run, day to day, and from what you may see on monitors. These variations are a normal limitation of the commercial printing process and is not considered a defect.

PRINTING LIMITATIONS

Due to the limitations of CMYK offset printing, colours may vary from print run to print run, press to press. Different paper types and thicknesses may produce slightly different results. Due to these variations, no guarantee is given that colours will be exact from print job to print job, paper to paper on any order or re-order. Nominal colour variations will occur within industry standards.

 

Kraft brown papers:

It is recommended that you use black only, or strong contrasting colours as the background colour of the stock may make some colours or screens of colours hard to see or read.

 

Uncoated stocks / 100% recycled stocks absorb inks more than coated stocks and have a matt appearance. These stocks are often an off white to natural white appearance (depending on the stock) so final print results will be different to coated stocks. If you have any concerns about stock choice, consult us first.
