Digital File Guidelines
For best results please follow our step by step guidelines. SatinCards.com
cannot be held responsible for errors due to incorrectly submitted files.
We have found the
most common source of delay is improperly sized files, files with the
wrong size bleed, or files with text or other critical design elements
placed too close to the edge of the file!
