START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

Choose the artwork help needed to get the card ready.

The amount of design work depends on the files you can supply and how much the finished card needs to change.

Adapt an existing design

Adjust supplied artwork for the confirmed card size, printed sides and practical print areas.

Build a new card layout

Arrange supplied logos, colours, wording and images into a clear plastic card design.

Prepare specialist artwork

Create the white support, die lines, embossing or metallic-effect artwork required by the chosen card.

Create related versions

Develop agreed role, branch, tier, campaign or language versions from an approved base layout.

PERSONALISED CARD ARTWORK

Build changing names, photographs, numbers and codes into the design from the start.

A practical template leaves room for the longest realistic details and keeps each personalised card clear and consistent.

Names and roles

Allow enough space for the longest names, roles or member details likely to appear.

Photographs

Set a consistent crop and position so each person’s image fits the design cleanly.

Numbers and dates

Plan member numbers, expiry dates and other changing information without crowding the layout.

Barcodes and QR codes

Keep codes large enough, high-contrast and clear of nearby artwork for their intended use.

HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Questions about plastic card design and artwork services?

Is artwork preparation included in every plastic card order?

Routine checks of supplied finished files are part of preparing a job. New layouts, substantial changes and additional versions are quoted separately when required.

Can you create a card layout from our existing brand assets?

Yes. Supply the authorised logos, colours, fonts, final wording and images, and we can quote the layout work needed.

Can you adapt an old card or rough layout?

Yes. An old card, sketch or rough file can provide a useful starting point, provided the final content and authorised brand assets are supplied.

Do you create logos or complete brand identities?

Not as a standard part of the plastic card artwork service. Logo creation, brand naming and full identity work would need to be discussed and quoted separately.

Can the design include changing names, photographs or codes?

Yes. The layout can be prepared for agreed variable information when accurate, organised data and realistic examples are supplied.

Who is responsible for image, font and logo rights?

The customer supplies authorised assets and confirms that the logos, images, fonts and other materials may be used for the project.

Who approves the final artwork?

The customer or its authorised approver checks the visible content, layout, versions and how changing information is applied before production proceeds.
