What are file requirements to upload - Spot UV Business Cards
How to prepare your files to order Spot UV Business Cards?
For best results, please follow our guidelines when you are uploading your own artwork.
Not following the any of these requirements would be the reasons why unexpected errors are occurring, and Aladdinprintphil.com has no responsibility for that.
When you upload a Spot gloss UV artwork file, You must include a Spot gloss UV artboard(s) or plate along with the regular full color artboard(s).
The Spot gloss UV artboard(s) or plate(s) is used to show where the UV will be placed as above.
Please Note: Use K 100%(black) to indicate where you would like to have spot gloss UV added to. Pure white or transparent where there is no UV.
Spot gloss UV registration can vary around 1mm during production. So it is not good idea to add a spot gloss UV on very thin line or fonts. You
may stroke the fonts or make lines a litte fatter on spot gloss UV plate only in order to register everything better. A spot gloss UV works fantastic when you apply them on graphic objects like your logo. Too much Spot UV on a business card will work against you and loose its effectiveness.
If you are not sure whether you are doing it right or not, you can email your files aladdinprintphil@gmail.com. We will check them over for you
prior to order.

1. ARTWORK DIMENSIONS
Please create a document size (bleed size) when you upload your file. To avoid file size errors, please download our templates.
Size requirement
Document Size (Bleed Size) - Blue line
91mm X 53mm / 3.58" X 2.09" / Resolution 300 dpi
Trim size (Final size after being cut) - Red line
89mm X 51mm / 3.50" X 2.00" / Resolution 300 dpi
2. BLEED SETUP
It is very difficult to print exactly to the edge of a sheet of paper/card, to achieve this it is necessary to print a slightly larger area than is needed and then trim the paper/card down to the required finished size. Images, background images and fills which are intended to extend to the edge of the page must be extended beyond the trim line to give a bleed.
Bleeds to order our business cards basically are 1mm on each side from where the cut is to be made.
3. SAFE AREA
You will want to make sure all text and graphics that are not intended to be cut off are within the safe zone. The safe zone is an area that is a safe distance away from the trim line where the cut will take place. Text and graphics within the safe zone are guaranteed to not be cut off.
Text and graphics should be at least 1.5 mm on each side from the trim line(cut line).
Safe zone
Safe Area (Text & Graphic safe zone) - Green line ( )
85mm X 47mm / 3.35" X 1.85"
4. GROUP

2. COLORS (CMYK VS RGB)
All files must be created in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). Images in RGB or in PANTONE colors which must be converted to CMYK.
Aladdinprintphil does not guarantee color will match the preview on customer's monitor, as we cannot compensate for the color variance on each customer's monitor set-up.
The color you see in your monitor is in RGB Color scheme which consists of three colors; Red, Green and Blue. These are the primary colors of light, which computer monitors use to display images on your screen.
The color to be printed on your business card is in CMYK color scheme, which consists of four colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. In full-color process printing, CMYK is the standard method of offset printing.
Therefore, the printed color will never perfectly match the on-screen color. Colors vary from monitor to monitor, and different printers produce different color results.
