Frequently Asked Questions

Where is your office? Can I come in and discuss ideas?

Newcastle Business Cards is a completely online printing and design service and this means that you can’t drop in to our office. This is how we can keep our prices and services extremely competitive. If you would like to discuss your ideas, we are more than happy to chat to you over the phone. If you have any mockups/ideas that you would like us to see, please feel free to email them to us by making a scan of your documents and email them to us at info@newcastlebusinesscards.com.au

Where do i upload my artwork?

If you have your own artwork, you must upload your artwork during the product selection page before continuing to checkout.

Will I receive a digital proof

We do not provide proofs for most printing services (unless stated otherwise). This is the reason why we can keep our printing prices low and at a competitive rate. We rely on customers to be aware of any variances that can occur during the printing process and to supply press-ready artwork when ordering. To reduce printing errors, customers are recommended to follow the Bring Your Own Artwork Specifications outlined on the product pages. Customers submitting their own artwork are fully responsible for the end result of printing. If you would like to see a digital artwork proof prior to printing, please let us know when you place your order (additional charges may apply).

We can deliver to one location anywhere within Australia at no extra cost. We haven’t found an address we cant ship to yet.

Times can vary depending on the design service but we try our hardest to present you with your first design proof within 2 business days.

Do you only design business cards?

Absolutely not! Our talented designers can produce a professional design for all of the printing products we offer. Please if you would like to discuss your design requirements.

What is bleed?

We require 3mm of external bleed on all files. Your print job is printed on a larger sheet than its finished size and then trimmed to size. External bleed is the area extending past your trim area and allows for a small amount of movement that may occur when your work is being cut to size. To find out more about bleed, please visit the Artwork Setup page and refer to our specific artwork guideline documents.
