30 Elements of Card Design
Backgrounds
Use the following suggestions to help you select a background for a professional-looking card. For
best results, make sure that the background design does not emphasize the location of card
features, such as embedded electronics.

Consider using a white background for the card to achieve consistent professional results.

Consider using smaller blocks of color, patterned areas, or gradients to highlight printed card
features such as a name, photo, or logo.

Avoid using a solid-color background over a large area of the card. It can show flaws on the
card (such as an uneven surface) or the location of card features (such as a smart card chip).
Image Placement
Use the following suggestions to help you locate important
images, such as a photo, logo, or bar code. When placing images,
avoid uneven areas and areas of high wear, which can result in
inconsistent print quality.

Do not place an important image on the front of the card in
the same area as a magnetic stripe or other machine-
readable feature. Frequent use of a card in a reader can wear
away the image on the opposite side of the card.

Do not place an important image directly on the opposite side of a signature panel. This can
cause residue from the signature panel to interfere with printing on an adjacent card. Place
the image above, below, or to the side of the panel.

Do not place an important image directly on the opposite side of a smart card chip. The card
might not be as flat in that area, and printing voids may occur.
