Printing
You can print the cards at home on most printers. We recommend doing a test run before printing the whole batch. Alternatively, local print shops like Staples® or Office Depot® can assist you.
Cutting
Our cards have grey cut lines indicating where to cut. As long as you cut along these lines, they won't show up in the finished product. For larger quantities, a paper cutter can be a worthwhile investment.
