This article provides a comprehensive guide on designing two-sided and folded cards, empowering you to create stunning and professional prints. Whether you prefer using our intuitive design editor or uploading your print-ready files, we've got you covered. We'll walk you through the page layout, provide helpful tips, and address frequently asked questions to ensure your card design process is seamless and enjoyable.
Designing Your Cards
You can bring your card visions to life using our user-friendly design editor or by uploading your meticulously crafted print-ready files. Whichever method you choose, the page layout remains consistent, and you can always refer to our handy templates for guidance and inspiration.
Working with Print-Ready Files
When uploading a print-ready file, submit a single PDF document that includes all pages of your card design. For double-sided cards, this means including both the front and back designs. For folded cards, ensure your PDF contains both the outer and inner pages.
Two-Sided Card Design
For standard two-sided cards, the first page of your design represents the front of the card, while the second page corresponds to the back. Imagine designing a postcard—the first page is what you see initially, and the second page holds the message and address.
Business cards offer flexibility in orientation. You can design them horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait) to suit your style and content.
Folded Card Design
For folded cards with a vertical orientation, page 1 in the editor represents the front and back sides of the card when folded. Think of a greeting card—page 1 showcases the front cover and the back of the card when folded.
Page 2 displays the inside pages of your folded card, revealing the inner content when opened.
The same principle applies to folded cards with a horizontal orientation. Page 1 encompasses the front and back, while page 2 reveals the inside spread.
