The top layout shows a 4-up business card set-up placed on a 7.25 x 4.25 page, allowing for bleed on 3 sides. Crops are drawn manually to show cuts at gutters; your page layout program will create accurate crops at the corners, as well as add registration marks at the vertical and horizontal centers of the page (for more accurate color registration on press).     The bottom layout shows 4-up business cards with no bleed, set up to size on a 7 x 4 page. Again, crops are drawn manually only at center cuts; the computer will create corner crops at final output to negatives.     The red keylines show where cuts will occur. They will not print.

Final business card size is 2" x 3.5".   < Back to Pre-Press Tips
