Business cards: isn’t the first impression important?
Business cards exchange has become an every day event not only in the professional context but also in private life.
Here at Flyermachine, we think that their effect is usually under-estimated. If you want to impress your contacts at first sight, do not hesitate to entrust the printing of your business cards to 1-2 print. By ordering your business cards with us, you will get a high-quality paper but also nice finishing and affordable prices but, most importantly, reliable production times.
For instance, as we know that it is important to have quality business cards in order to spread a better corporate identity, we do not print our business cards on gsm lower than 300 or 350 gsm.
The matt lamination or the glossy UV varnish that we provide you with produces a particularly nice silk effect while giving a pleasant touch.
Because the printing quality and the differentiation is also linked to colours, 1-2 print doesn’t only print on 4/4 coloured but also on Pantone and HKS colours and offers extra options such as spot UV varnish or embossing. Do not hesitate to ask us for some advice on that.
Regarding the format, business cards on our website are usually offered single or double-sided, simple or folded.
In general, if you want to print fast and “cheap”, we recommend you to keep the standard card format of 8.5x5.5 cm. Knowing that, 1-2 print suggests printing the standard format with express or in overnight if needed.
For those who have more information to communicate or who would like to distinguish themselves, we recommend folded business cards folded on the long or short side. Of course, these business cards are unfolded delivered so as to guarantee you a good quality. For example, you could print a summary of your services or an access plan to your offices directly on these business cards. Or why don’t you simply use it as loyalty card or pocket calendar?
Little tricks for the creation of your business cards:
Normally, it is recommended to put your name on the top because it’s the key information to highlight. Do not forget to add, if you want, some pictures on your business cards in order to create a more personal impression for your contacts.
Generally, you have to work on the structure of your business cards to ensure the good readability of your information. If you need some advice on that, do not hesitate to contact us at any time. Our advisors will ensure that the business cards you print at 1-2 print are unique.

Instructions for this product:
(1) Data format
This is the size in which you must send us your file, whether in portrait or landscape format:61 x 176 mm
The background or graphical elements which are to be trimmed should extend to the red margin. We will then trim off 3 mm. You must take this into account in the design of your product!
(2) Final format
This is the size in which we will deliver your printed product:
55 x 170 mm
This is the final format after we have trimmed 3 mm from the left- and right-hand edges and the top and bottom.
Bleed 3 mm
This margin is absolutely essential in order to compensate the trimming tolerance. The margin will normally be completely cut off. It is mandatory that background images or areas which are to reach to the edge of the page of your print extend to within this 3 mm margin, thus ensuring that no thin white margin will be left after trimming.
Edge distance 2 mm
In addition, it must be noted that texts and important information are at least 2 mm away from the original or inner edge. Otherwise there is a risk that a portion may be cut off!
In most cases it does not look particularly attractive if the text is "stuck" so near to the edge.
Resolution
We print with a 70line screen which gives a resolution of 354 dpi. In order to obtain optimum printing results, your printing data must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). If your file is saved with a lower resolution a quality loss may result.
Colour settings
CMYK is the standard colour mode we use for full colour printing. You should therefore create your files in the CMYK colour mode. This is necessary for all products printed with the offset (litho) printing method (flyers, leaflets, brochures...). If, however, we receive files with other colour settings, our system will automatically convert them to CMYK. This may result in slight colour deviations which will not be accepted as complaints as we do not know the original colour you wished to have. If, from the start, your data are created in CMYK and you access our ICC colour profile (available under downloads) the probable result will be simulated on your monitor.
Inking (amount of ink used)
The colour channels cyan, magenta, yellow and black are displayed in percent in your layout programme. Assuming that the file is created and saved with a CMYK colour space, the summation of the colours cyan, magenta, yellow and back must not exceed 300%.
If it does, it causes an above-average ink application and can therefore cause a faulty result. Such a high ink application does not dry properly and your prints might stick together and tear on separation.
Attention:
When RGB files are converted to CMYK colour settings, RGB black turns into over 300% CMYK black(C+M+Y+K). The files have to be amended after they have been converted.
Complaints referring to an above-average ink application cannot unfortunately be accepted.
For a black or grey colour please use K (K=key=black) only. If your fonts use three or more colours shadows can appear on the printed product.
To obtain deep black, 40% cyan and 100% black are adequate (40/0/0/100). Alternatively you can use CMYK 30/30/30/100.
ICC-Profile
For the best possible colour result ICC-profiles are essential. For offset printing (litho) the current ECI ICC-profiles (www.eci.org) are used. These you can find in the download area on our homepage. Colour profiles enable a correct simulation of colours according via your layout or graphic programme. Click on the button “Instructions” on our homepage for more information.
Fonts
For offset printing (litho) you should always use Postscript-fonts. TrueType fonts can cause problems when the printing plates are exposed. If TrueType fonts are required for any reason, they have to be converted to a vector, outline or curve (depending on the programme you use). This action converts the font into a vector so that the original font itself is no longer required.
File formats
Generally we prefer multipage PDF files (version X-3:2002). Ideally you should send us a multipage PDF. The first page of your PDF will be used for the front, the second page for the back. Alternatively you can send us EPS, JPEG or TIFF files. Adobe Photoshop users should always save their files as JPEG or TIFF. If a Photoshop PDF is required please use Acrobat Distiller to create the file. Please never save a PDF directly from Photoshop.
Page orientation
Page orientation is extremely important. To avoid nasty surprises the pages of your delivered files must correctly orientated (aligned).
Examples:
- For a standard card (landscape or portrait) you must be able to read the text on your screen, without twisting your head.
- For a standard card with one page as a portrait and the other as a landscape it is advisable to rotate one page 90 degrees. Please note that there is no set rule for such layouts.
- For a landscape folded card (for you must be able to read the text on your screen, without twisting your head. Page one in our PDF will be used for the outside, page two for the inside.
- For a portrait folded card the second page must be turned 180 degrees (upside down)
If you are not sure that you have programmed your print correctly it often very advantageous to print the document on your own office printer. When you then lay the backs of the first and second page on each other in exactly the same orientation as they have been transported out of your printer you will immediately see whether your pages are correctly orientated.
Attention:
The correct page orientation (alignment) must already be correct in your layout programme. Subsequent editing of the page orientation in Acrobat only affects the screen view, not the printing template!
