Earring cards

Do you have a design templates for for earring cards?
No, we only supply square or rectangle earring cards. However we do offer round corners as an optional extra for all of our earring tags.

Is 3mm the smallest hole size?
Yes 3mm is the smallest hole we are able to drill for use as earring holes.

Can I have the drill holes where ever I like?
Yes, if you would like your holes in a specific location, please just also supply a drill hole guide PDF along with your press ready PDF artwork. 

What is he difference between your 350gsm Economy and 350 Premium uncoated paper?
The paper in both of these instances is exactly the same. The difference is how they are printed. Economy is printed on a conventional digital printing press which gives a smoother satin look and feel to any printed areas. Premium is printed on a HP Indigo printing press which gives a matt finish to printed areas. For designs with large areas of print such as solid coloured backgrounds, we recommend our Premium option for best quality results.

Can I do a custom size earring cards?
Yes our online quote builder allows you to select from a range of standard sizes or manually enter a custom size. Simply click the check box next to the standard dimensions to enter your custom size.

How do I supply my artwork?
Please supply artwork for earring tags as a press ready PDF with a minimum of 3mm bleed and crop lines. Please do not put a drill hole circle in your final artwork, we do not want to print this. Instead please provide a second PDF indicating the hole location. For full details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from Canva, Layout, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop please download our artwork specifications from www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf  Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!

Can I print a border on my for earring cards?
We really don't recommend printing borders on for earring cards. We have a shift tolerance of 1mm for for earring cards. This means prints can shift in any direction during printing and trimming by up to 1mm. When borders are printed this means some for earring cards will look asymmetrical. If you really want a border we recommend only having this on one side of your for earring cards and making it at least 5mm in from the edge. This allows us space to re-trim if required to try and make them as symmetrical as possible.

Can I have a sample print of my earring cards before going ahead with the full order?
We do not supply printed samples by default, we print directly from your PDF files. If you would like a price for printing a test sample print only, scroll to the very bottom of our quantity dropdown in our quote builder and select '˜sample print'™. The cost of a sample print is basically all time for setup and finishing, plus postage. Unfortunately it takes us as long to setup and trim one item as it does a whole pile.

Can I have a proof?
We do not supply proofs unless artwork amends are required prior to printing, or you request one. We print directly from you press ready PDF files. For full details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from Canva, Layout, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop please download our artwork specifications from www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf  Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!


What if I have more than 10 earring card designs?
You can add additional designs by adding more split quantities. Just click '+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can add as many different kinds as required.

I have printed earring cards with you before, do you keep artwork on file?
Yes we keep all press ready artwork on file. If you have placed an order in the last 5 years you should be able to login to your account with an old quote or reference number and your email address and download any artwork from previous orders. If your artwork isn't in your online account, let us know and we will take a look in our archive for you.

Do you do foil printed earring cards?
No, we do not offer foiling for a couple of reasons.
1. Foil makes it harder to recycled paper as the foil needs to be separated from the paper pulp.
2. To get the best results with foil you need to foil stamp. This involves having metal formes made and using these to stamp foil on to paper. This adds a lot of cost to small runs of earring tags. Over the years digital foil has grown in popularity with printers as it is a cheap and fast alternative to foil stamping. In our opinion that is all it it is, cheap and fast, it really doesn't look anywhere near as good a foil stamping. Our goal is to make printing on recycled paper affordable, we therefore have decided not to offer foiling.

Do you print earring tags with Pantone colours?
No we do not print earring cards using Pantone colours. All of our earring cards are printed CMYK together on large sheets of paper and then trimmed to size. In order to print using Pantone colours, we need to print just your earring cards on their own and set the press up with Pantone ink. This takes a lot of time in setup and therefore costs substantially more than printing collectively with others CMYK.

I have a PDF of an old earring card but I want to change the details on it, can you do this or do I have to go back to my designer?
In most cases it will be quicker and cheaper to go back to your designer if possible. Changing text in the master design file is very quick an easy for a designer to do. If for some reason your designer can't do this, we may be able to edit your PDF. This all depends how the artwork has been setup and saved. If the text hasn't been converted to outlines and we have the font used on file yes we can make changes. If the font has been flattened or we don't have the font used then we will need to replace the font with something similar in order to make changes. The cost of us making these changes is dependent on what needs to be done. We estimate layout costs after reviewing your files and requirements. For more details please contact us.
