Can I use Canva to design my appointment cards?

Canva and then export as a Press PDF and upload it on our website. To see full details of how to design appointment cards in
Canva, download our artwork specifications here:

Do you offer laminated appointment cards?
No, laminating
effectively means covering items in plastic. By laminating appointment
cards, you are making them non recyclable. We do not recommend using
materials that can not be recycled after use.
Can I print white on kraft paper?No, unfortunately the recycled kraft paper we use is not suitable for printing white ink.
Can I have a custom edge paint colour?We
offer 43 base colours for edge painting and more often than not there
is a colour suitable for most designs. Unfortunately we are not able to
match 100% to a printed colour when edge painting. In some instances we
may be able to mix colours to try and get a closer colour match, however
this does take longer and we cannot guarantee they will be exactly the
same. Please contact us for a custom quote if you would like us to try
and match a colour.
Do you do circle appointment cards?No, however we do offer round corners to appointment cards.
Do you do letterpress appointment cards?We
no longer offer letterpress printing. For best results we recommend
using a specialist letterpress printer. There are now quite a few small
and large letterpress printers in Australia.
What is the 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 appointment 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 appointment cards as a press ready PDF with a minimum
of 3mm bleed and crop lines. For full details of how to prepare and
output files ready to print from Canva, Crello, 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 appointment cards?We
really don't recommend printing borders on appointment cards. We have a
shift tolerance of 1mm for appointment cards. This means prints can shift
in any direction during printing and trimming by up to 1mm. When borders
are printed this means some appointment cards will look asymmetrical. If
you really want a border we recommend only having this on one side of
your appointment 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 appointment 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 your press ready PDF files. For full
details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from
Canva, Crello, 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 split quantities for appointment cards? For example 1 design x 250 and 2 designs x 500?
Yes
just press '+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can
add as many different quantity splits as required. Please also add the
quantity in your file names, so we know how many to print of each design - eg Design-Name-1x250.pdf
What if I have more than 6 appointment 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 appointment 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 appointment 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 appointment cards. 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 appointment cards with Pantone colours?No
we do not print appointment cards using Pantone colours. All of our appointment 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 appointment 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 appointment 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.
Can I get a sample of the papers you offer?Absolutely, we
have a recycled paper sample pack that contains every paper we have
listed on this website. Sample packs costs $10, however this is refunded
when you place an order. Request a pack from here:
