Question
What file format should I use for laminated business cards?
Answer
Laminated cards use the same print-ready file requirements as any other card. A properly built PDF gives you accurate color and clean trimming under the laminate.
- Format - PDF is the safest choice. AI, PSD, and EPS also work.
- Color - CMYK, not RGB.
- Resolution - 300 DPI.
- Bleed - include 0.125" bleed marks so trimming stays clean.
Build the file the same way you would for an unlaminated card. The lamination is added in production.
