Learn from common mistakes to ensure your custom greeting card project runs smoothly. Avoiding these pitfalls can save time, money, and ensure better results.
Using images with insufficient resolution (less than 300 DPI) leads to blurry, pixelated prints that look unprofessional.
Designing in RGB instead of CMYK results in color shifts during printing, making final products look different from screen previews.
Not providing adequate bleed (usually 3mm) can result in white edges or important design elements being cut off during trimming.
Using non-embedded fonts, text too small to read, or fonts that don't print well can ruin the final product appearance.
Expecting immediate production without accounting for design approval, sampling, and manufacturing time leads to disappointment and rushed quality.
Choosing inappropriate paper weight or finish for the intended use can affect durability, print quality, and overall card feel.
Not understanding all cost components like setup fees, shipping, customs, and minimum quantities can lead to budget overruns.
Proceeding to mass production without approving physical samples can result in receiving products that don't meet expectations.
