Order Process

We make the perfect cards for you

1. Choose the basics

What you do

  • Pick your quantity and the popular options on this page

  • If you’re not sure, contact us anytime, and we will get everything sorted.

What we do

  • If anything looks unclear or likely to affect the final result, we’ll flag it early (so you don’t find out after it’s printed)

Quick reassurance

  • The price shown is the ready-to-order setup for most use cases

  • If you need something not listed (extra finishes, security, special packaging), contact us for quote.

2. Share your artwork

Option A: You already have artwork
Share a print-ready PDF if possible. If not, upload what you have -we’ll tell you what needs adjusting.

Option B: You only have a logo / brand kit
That’s enough to start. Upload your logo + brand colours + any text you want on the card.

Option C: You don’t have design files yet
Send a reference (a photo/screenshot of a style you like) and tell us:

  • your business type (café / salon / retail / hotel etc.)

  • what the card is for (membership / gift / loyalty)

  • the vibe: clean & modern / bold & attention-grabbing / luxury & understated

3. Proof & approval

Before we print anything, you’ll have a clear proof to approve.

What you’ll receive

  • A proof showing layout, sizes and key placement

  • If you selected special finishes, we’ll show how they apply (e.g., Spot UV area / foil area)

What you control

  • You can request amendments if something doesn’t look right

  • If we spot a risk (tiny text, overly complex foil areas, etc.), we’ll tell you plainly and suggest a better approach

4. Production

Once approved, we move to production.

What happens next

  • Your cards go into production with the confirmed spec

  • If you chose premium finishes, we apply them with the correct sequence (so the final look matches the intention)

Typical turnaround

  • Around 10 working days on average (from approval)

  • In a hurry? Priority service is available (we’ll confirm what’s achievable based on quantity + finish)

5. Delivery
  • Secure packaging, shipped to your address

  • If you have a “launch date”, tell us - we’ll help you plan backwards from that deadline
