Card Layout
The
arrangement
or
layout
of
components
determines
how
well
your
card
design
works
for
users.
Follow
these
guidelines
to
position
card
design
components
for
best
results.
Margins
Any
unprinted
area
at
the
edge
of
the
card
or
around
the
perimeter
of
a
card
feature
is
called
the
margin.
Margins at the Edge of a Card
The
card
printers
can
edge
to
edge,
which
is
the
same
as
a
margin
of
zero (0)
or
no
margin.
The
card
on
the
left
shows
a
margin
of
white
space
at
the
outer
edge
of
the
card.
The
card
on
the
right
shows
edge
‐
to
‐
edge
printing.
Edge
‐
to
‐
edge
printing
can
require
fine
‐
tuning
the
printer
and
the
card
design.
Include
this
task
as
part
of
setup.
Margins for Card Features
Maintain
a
margin
between
printing
and
card
features,
such
as
a
signature
panel,
magnetic
stripe,
or
smart
card
chip.
For
best
results,
do
not
closer
than
0.1
inch
(2.5
mm)
from
such
a
feature.
