All printing with Ecoprint need to include 3mm of bleed, colour in CMYK and trim marks in your document. Bleed ensures any colour that runs to the edge of your card runs ‘right to the edge’ without a white margin. Here is a graphic showing how a print ready business card should look.

We literally cannot print your card, unless it contains bleed and trim marks. If you need help building your files, we can help! Our pre-press fees start from $35.

From our experience, certain design software tends to perform better than others. While we have no beef with any software provider, outcomes are important in print, so its best to use the proper tools to create brilliant print.

Once you’ve submitted your print ready files, we’ll issue a production invoice to you. Once this is paid, we can begin your printing. Importantly, if you are paying via credit card, we can begin your print immediately. If you are paying via direct deposit, please send a remittance of your payment so we can also begin immediately (otherwise we’ll have to wait til the funds hit our bank account).
