Question: When designing your business cards, using the method shown, what happens next? Do you send a PDF of the front and back on a single sheet? What does the printer then do with that PDF? Do they cut it and glue it together or something else. I haven't worked with anything beyond designing cards on separate art-boards, so this method is a bit different than what I have done in the past. Just wondering how the printer does the front and back work if they have both sides on a single sheet.
I work at a digital printing company. I make a few hundred business cards a day. I don't need crop marks made by my costumers because I arrange business cards on a sheet of paper and I want to put the crop marks myself as it's suites me and my cutting style. Each of my colleagues has a different style how they cut them. In offset print it's the same thing.
Kadettar thanks for sharing your workflow. I have worked with many printers and everyone has a different preference. It's good to know how to do it if required but the best thing is to always check with the printer what they need.
Yes of course. Biggest problem we have is that people forget to make bleed. My company for example requires that you bring the design to be exactly 90x50mm, with no outside bleed, but we need an inside marguine of at least 4mm on each side, especially if they are both sides. There are small misalignments in duplex printing, so elements like logos, names or numbers should be at least 4mm from the edge. Background color or patterns like yours are ok. That's from my experience in digital laser printing. Offset printing is different.
Kadettar margins are indeed very important especially on small prints like business cards. Thanks for mentioning it. I have been planning to record a video for a while on Ways to Annoy Printers which would be a list of things designers should pay attention to when sending their work to print. Apart from margins and bleed what are the other common mistakes in your experience? If it's too long to write as a comment you can email us on info@yesimadesigner.com
@@YesImaDesigner great idea for the video! I'm also a engineer of graphic design, so it's all more annoying that people don't want to pay a designer to make something they need. For example, I have seen business cards in AutoCAD, Word, PowerPoint, Paint, Notepad(don't ask), and screenshots of online business card maker sites that you have to pay to get vectors. Biggest problem we have is that people don't realise that no machine can print to the edge. People see things that are printed to the edge of the paper but they don't realise that that is offset print and that's printed on a bigger paper and then cut to measure. I will send you a mail in the next few days with more examples.
Thank you sir! To avoid all these confusion I would pick the vector files (logos & supporting design element shapes) from Ai & bring them to Ps & design there!
Thank you for this tutorial. It's really helpful. I am more curious about printing. On the screen, the design is perfect but how are we gonna be sure that it will perfect on printing? As a designer at the beginner level, I don't know much about printing. How about creating tutorials/or maybe opening a course about printing design? Free or paid, I would enroll in that course.
This is really late, but printing mostly depends on the printer! You can always get a mockup done or a test print before ordering more. High quality printers are typically local. I remember I got some done for wedding invitations and they gave me a beautiful mockup print which I approved then went ahead and ordered the rest. Hope this helps even a year later
hi. Your video is very interesting to learn. But I hope that you will make more videos on how to create letterhead, envelopes, brochures, flyers, and more.
My crop marks are tiny as crap any way to make them bigger? I'm assuming you don't have your business cards at 300 ppi? Why would you not do that?! Isn't that the recommendation for printing them?

Hi Martin Perhiniak, I do actually have a lot of respect for you but I really don't understand when people cannot be bothered to respond to their emails, to be very honest I find it very unbecoming and very unprofessional. I have tried to contact you on many different occasions, I have sent you emails, I have even tried going and checking your website for contact details, but there is no actual contact tab which I personally found to be very strange for a professional, do you not actually need to respond to your emails anymore, which is a little bit strange or is it when you get to being a true professional like yourself you don't actually need to answer them, anymore. I'm try to ask about one of your courses, in this case a one to one but hay, guess what to no a vale.
Thanks a lot, very helpful for my classes especially now with the corona situation when everything is online. :3 I didnt use the design you showed up bc i like to come up with my own but the trims and the tricks you showed and how you grouped them in 3 layers it was very helpful for a person that just starts using illustrator. My uni teachers didnt show me that, but you know they gave us the homework to do a business card 😑
Which tool do you prefer using for designing business cards? Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Adobe Xd or something else?

That Red dead redemption 2 characters names were funny :P
Thank you so much for the SmartMockups 🥰
How do I give a bigger thumbs up for the RD2 names?
Glad you liked them :D

@@L00dack That's great, really looking forward to your email and I will definitely cover this topic in a video. I cracked up on the Notepad :D
When they print, let's say 200 cards, are they all supposed to be physically cut? Or does a machine do it all at once?
Both. As for the machine, check out the ZUND cutter.
How did you made those patterns? of you have made it could you do a tutorial on that too?
Good work Martin 🏆
Very Very Useful. Thanks.
Really amazing tutorial. Loved it bro. Keep it up. I just subscribed. Your video inspired me.
Which font did you use for the text?
Have you taken any rectangle fill as background & what is the art board size?
great colour palette!
I love your adobe illustrator course
Thank you sir!
To avoid all these confusion I would pick the vector files (logos & supporting design element shapes) from Ai & bring them to Ps & design there!
but wont that rasterize ur vector files? or no?
Thanks so much for this video. Was really helpful and love the mockups!
Show how u made the rectangles what u recording is self explanatory
I don't even know how to get the first file. I'm trying to make a business card, fair and simple...I just don't know where to start...
great tutorial thanks! where can we get free vector image patterns like the ones you used on the edges of the cards here, really nice pallet designs!
This was really helpful. 👏
Thank you for this! I loved the artboard method, it's so easy imo
HI , how did you created this pattern ...

hi. Your video is very interesting to learn. But I hope that you will make more videos on how to create letterhead, envelopes, brochures, flyers, and more.
Quick question, shouldn’t the business cards be in the CYMK mode as this is standard for print? Loved this design btw 🔥
how do i print it out print layout for a4 PAPERS
you don't change it to CMYK mode?
Very helpful man... Thanks!
Thank you very much... im wondering also how to create like this.😒 now i get in idea from your its really helpful for me 😃.🙌
My PDF looks blurry when uploading to the mockup site

I used artboards on illustrator and when i saved they look very blurry. any tips?
where can I download tools which you use on the edges?
My crop marks are tiny as crap any way to make them bigger? I'm assuming you don't have your business cards at 300 ppi? Why would you not do that?! Isn't that the recommendation for printing them?
Thank you, love your tutorial
Which is the size of the work space?
Gosh that's a nice design

Very helpful, thank you.
Red Dead Redemption 2 😂
Yepp, couldn't think of better fictional names :)
is that cintiq pro 24? how do you like it for Illustrator use?
It is the 27 QHD. It's very good for Illustrator and Photoshop. Less useful for InDesign in my experience.
Please give me a link about illustrator layers.
very nice
InDesign is far superior for print work.
Sir would you please give! these commercial shapes ?
This is how professional works......Le Me : make a card using word or powerpoint and then use snipping tool, save it, open pic in word, change to pdf

Hi Martin Perhiniak,

You talk too much and very unclear which makes it hard to follow
please, stop raising your voice at the end of every line
everything is just perfect but your intonation
why so rude tho
Thanks a lot, very helpful for my classes especially now with the corona situation when everything is online. :3 I didnt use the design you showed up bc i like to come up with my own but the trims and the tricks you showed and how you grouped them in 3 layers it was very helpful for a person that just starts using illustrator. My uni teachers didnt show me that, but you know they gave us the homework to do a business card 😑
ugh same here! Didn’t show us how to set up a business card but assigned the project.. wtf???
