Template & artwork FAQ
Which file format does a card printer actually need?
Use these PDF/SVG reference dielines to prepare artwork at actual size. Confirm your printer’s required export format, bleed and finishing clearances before final approval. Keep guide lines on a separate non-printing layer.
Will you check my artwork before printing?
Include artwork review in your quote request. Send the file to sales@cardotel.com with the same name or company used in your inquiry. The review scope, any artwork work and timing will be confirmed for your project.
Do the same templates work for wooden and paper cards?
They are a starting layout for CR80 cards. Confirm the finished dimensions, thickness, coating and printing or engraving requirements for your chosen material. A screen proof does not confirm the material or RFID performance; agree a physical sample plan.
My design is in Canva, Figma or Word — is that a problem?
Export a PDF at actual size and keep your original editable file. Include the file format and artwork status in your inquiry so any adjustments can be scoped before production. A preview image alone may not be suitable for final printing.
