When cutting, it is very difficult to centre a frame with the edges of the card. The result is often disappointing. In order to limit the visual impact of an offset at the time of cutting we recommend a safety margin of at least 4mm between the outside of the thread and the edge of the card.
Here is an illustration of the front and back depending on the positioning and reading direction.
INDESIGN SETTING
When creating your document, make sure you are in Print mode. Put 5 mm in Bleed (More Options Menu > Bleed).

PHOTOSHOP ADJUSTMENT

Then create markers (View menu > New marker) and enter the horizontal and vertical measurements in millimetres (mm).
The markers will allow you to see a preview of your document as it will look when finished. Be careful to respect a safety margin by not putting any important elements within 5 mm of the markers. To finish, save your document (File>Save as) in Adobe PDF format without changing any of the settings.

Types of laminations
Laminating is a way of ennobling paper by applying a thin layer of synthetic film. This film is applied to the paper under heat and increases its thickness and rigidity, while giving it a very attractive appearance. This technique also improves durability and protects the paper over time.
Glossy lamination
A glossy lamination gives depth and impact. It is an option that makes the colours more vivid and eye-catching.
Matte lamination
Matte lamination gives an elegant and more prestigious look than gloss lamination
Peach skin lamination (soft touch)
Similar to matte lamination, it also gives a very soft touch that adds a tactile dimension to the business card.
Selective varnish
This glossy varnish is applied selectively to highlight the important elements of your visual.
3D selective varnish
This technique allows you to highlight elements of your design by selectively applying a thick layer of varnish. By playing with the thickness you can create textures.
TO REMEMBER
- Matte and peach skin laminations look elegant and darken photos and logos.
- Glossy lamination has an impactful look and gives a bright appearance to photos and logos.
The different formats for your 3D business card with your printer COPYMAGE
The most common format for 3D business card printing is the standard format 85 x 55 mm. The reason this format is so popular is that it allows the luxury business card to be easily stored in a wallet or card holder. However, you can also choose another format such as those below:
- 80 x 50 mm
- 85 x 55 mm
- 90 x 55 mm

Or you can be completely original by opting for a square format. Be careful, however, if the original variations are more easily noticed, they can make the storage of the card more complex.

Frequently asked questions about the 3D varnished business card
When to distribute your luxury business card?
Usually, business cards are handed out by hand after an appointment. But there are many other ways to pass it on to your prospects or customers. Here are some ideas that COPYMAGE consultants have thought of:

- Freely available on a counter or desk or a desk, a 3D business card will catch the eye of your prospects and make them want to take one away, making it easier for them to contact you later.
