Designing for RFID? Keep metallic inks and foil away from the antenna zone — the exact clearance depends on the chip. Ask us for the inlay map of your locking system's chip before finalising artwork.
Template & artwork FAQ
Which file format does a card printer actually need?
A print-ready PDF or vector file (AI/EPS/SVG) at 1:1 scale with 3 mm bleed and outlined fonts. Both dielines on this page are true-to-size — place your artwork under the template layer and export as PDF/X.
Will you check my artwork before printing?
Yes — send your file to sales@cardotel.com and our prepress team returns a free compliance check (bleed, safe area, resolution, magstripe and antenna clearances) within one business day, whether or not you order.
Do the same templates work for wooden and paper cards?
The CR80 dimensions are identical. Wood and paper differ in finishing: laser-engraved areas replace some printed areas on wooden cards, and paper cards use water-based coatings. Ask us for the finishing notes for your material.
My design is in Canva, Figma or Word — is that a problem?
Export a PDF at actual size and we take it from there — our prepress team rebuilds files into print-ready form as part of every order. Vector exports keep logos and small text sharpest.
