Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about bespoke and custom cards.
What can be customised on a bespoke card?
We work with customers to customise every aspect of their card and the carriers that go with it. If you have something specific in mind, our design team will work with you to make it happen.
Do you produce non standard card shapes?
Yes. Bespoke die cutting is available for shaped cards, and we can produce custom shaped carriers to match. Shaped cards need a one off tooling step, so they suit schemes where the shape earns its keep.
What artwork do you need from us?
Print ready artwork with bleed, in a vector format wherever possible, along with any brand colour references. If you do not have artwork ready, our design team can build it from your brand guidelines.
How long does a bespoke card project take?
For a bespoke shaped card, allow around six to eight weeks from production through to delivery. This depends on the final design being approved and all data being available.
