Oval Shaped Card Printing 2x3.5 inch
Custom full-color oval-shaped card printing is available in various paper stock options. Print oval-shaped cards double-sided or single-sided.
Recommendations: The most popular choice is 14 pt. glossy paper. The shiny finish makes the color on your cardstock look more vibrant; however, the glossy finish makes it hard to write on it. If you still want to print on glossy paper and need to write on it, we recommend that you select the front side to be glossy and leave the back non-glossy so that you can write on the back. However, the best cardstock for writing on is 14 pt. uncoated.
Thinner cardstock. Made from recycled materials, it features a smooth, dull matte finish. Writing on this cardstock is possible, but it isn't ideal since it takes a few seconds for the ink to absorb.
Most popular! Gloss coated with a high UV finish. It feels smooth and makes the colors appear vibrant and shiny. You can't write on the glossy side.
Best for Writing! This cardstock has a natural paper feel with a slight texture, and it is ideal for writing on as it instantly absorbs the ink without smearing.
Thicker cardstock. This paper comes with a smooth, dull, matte, silky finish. It is possible to write on it, but it is not as ideal as it takes a few seconds to absorb the ink. However, if you print this cardstock with a glossy coating, writing on a glossy finish is impossible.

--- Safe Zone: All text, images, logos, etc., need to stay inside the blue line. Anything left outside the blue line may be cut off.
--- Cutting Zone: The product will be cut approximately along this area and shows the final size. Please allow extra space for cutting tolerance around your prints. We recommend no borders due to shifting in the cutting process, borders may appear uneven.
--- Bleed Zone: To avoid white edges on your prints, ensure that the background images or colors extend all the way to the outer edge of the designated black line, known as the bleed. The bleed is the extra background that will be trimmed off after printing, allowing for a clean, edge-to-edge finish.
REMINDER!
- Please send artwork without blue, pink, and black guidelines.
- No crop marks.
- Zoom in to 100% to check your resolution quality. Your artwork will print as sharp as it looks at 100% zoom.
- If you send files as .EPS, .PDF, or .AI, all texts should be converted to outline.
- If using Photoshop, flatten your image and save it as a JPG or PDF. This will prevent fonts from converting to defaults.
