Business Cards with Pantone 877C Silver

For the best results, we recommend PDFs but we can accept JPEG, EPS, AI, PSD or TIFF files as well.

Please create all files with a 1/16" bleed (0.0625" on all sides) As an example, a 3.5" x 2" business card file should be submitted at 3.625" x 2.125".

Please keep all safe text at least 1/8" from the trim line.

Files must be CMYK, not RGB.

PDFs, EPS and AI files:  Please convert all fonts and text to outlines and flatten all transparencies. 

JPEG, PSD, TIFF: Please flatten all files. You may save your files at 400 DPI (300 DPI is the minimum).

Due to the complexity of the various products available at UV Cards it is necessary to upload your files AFTER you complete your order.  Simply add the items that you wish to order to your cart, complete the checkout process at which time you will be directed to an upload page. 

If we request that you upload revised files, please log in to your account and view your order in the order history.  You will be given the ability to upload revised files for your order.

Silver Ink files must be sent in a vector file format. You must use a vector program like Adobe illustrator to call out the object that you want in silver ink.

Create your document as CMYK. To indicate the silver ink, you must set the object color to Pantone® 877 C. Any other color will not be accepted as silver. Remember, silver is a spot color and transparencies like drop shadows should be avoided.

After creating your file, be sure to convert all fonts to outlines and save your file as an EPS.

If you do not have access or operating knowledge of illustrator, contact us for assistance in converting your design.

Cracking of the edges of a business card occurs sometimes when the card contains high values of ink, as in dark colors.  This usually happens on a small amount of cards in the run. To prevent this, use lighter colors or if you must use dark colors, use as little ink as possible.
