How to Export Print-Ready Artwork from Canva

Follow these crucial steps before exporting to ensure your design doesn’t get cut off during our same day commercial trimming process.

  1. 1. Turn on Bleeds in Canva: Inside your Canva project, click File > View settings and make sure “Show print bleed” is ticked. Ensure your background images stretch all the way to the outer border line.
  2. 2. Download with Correct Settings: Click the Share button in the top right corner, then tap Download.
  3. 3. Select “PDF Print” Profile: Change the File Type dropdown to “PDF Print” (do not choose standard PDF, PNG, or JPG as they degrade your printing quality).
  4. 4. Check the Bleed Boxes: Tick the box that says “Crop marks and bleed”. Leave the Color Profile set to CMYK if you have Canva Pro, or RGB if using the free tier (our press software will automatically convert it safely).
⚠️ Important: If your background color doesn’t stretch past the crop lines into the bleed zone, your finished prints may have thin white paper borders on the trimmed edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our swift printing process.

What are the exact artwork specifications?

Please supply your artwork as a print-ready PDF file. Ensure all fonts are outlined, images are high-resolution (300 DPI minimum), and you have included a 2mm bleed on all edges to guarantee a perfect cut.

How do I supply my files when ordering?

It’s incredibly simple! Just tap the red pricing button for the quantity you want. This automatically opens a pre-formatted email window on your device. Just attach your PDF artwork file directly to that email and hit send.

Can I pick up my order locally in Christchurch?

Yes! If your order and artwork are locked in before our 10:00 AM cutoff line, your print job will be completely finished and ready for contactless collection at our Christchurch facility by 4:00 PM the exact same day.

What happens if I miss the 10:00 AM deadline?

Don’t panic! If you miss the morning cutoff, your order is automatically pushed to the front of the queue for the very next business morning’s production run, ensuring it is ready by 4:00 PM tomorrow.

πŸ“‡ Why do you need business cards?

Nearly every day a client tells us their customers ask them for a business card. Presenting a card establishes immediate trust and authority. Scribbling your name and phone number on a scrap piece of paper is definitely NOT professional!

❓ “Will people just throw them away?” Some people will. Some people won’t. Crucially, many will save them or pass them directly to friends and family when a recommendation is needed. All it takes is one single job to get your entire card print investment back!
πŸš€ Never Miss an Opportunity You never know who you will meet across Christchurch or out on a job. If you happen to talk about your services with an interested person, handing over a premium card guarantees they remember your brand when they are ready to order.

πŸš€ Premium Design, Value & Guarantees

πŸš€ It’s Rocket Science!

Business cards are exactly like rocket fuel. When a rocket blasts off, it generates a massive amount of energy and smoke, but hardly seems to move at first. Eventually, though, it builds up unstoppable momentum and the rocket is on its way to the moon!

It’s the same with business cards: at first, you will be handing out many cards to build momentum for your brand. Keep handing them out, keep the momentum going, and soon your sales volume will be over the moon!

🎨 100% Free Custom Design

Rather than forcing you into a cheap, generic template, when you order from us we will custom design your business card to your exact requirements to perfectly reflect your company. And we do this completely FREE OF CHARGE!

Prefer to supply your own design files? That is completely fine! Please ensure your design layout matches our parameters on the file specifications page first.

🎯 Prepress Tip: The main objective of a card is to convey branding clearly. Ensure your logo, business name, and personal staff details sit prominently alongside a readable phone layout.
🀝 Our Ironclad Guarantee

We do our absolute utmost to get your cards and marketing materials looking just rightβ€”completely perfect.

If, on the very rare occasion, a production mistake is made on our workshop floor, we will immediately re-print your cards for you AT ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE TO YOU! Your brand reputation is entirely safe in our hands.
