How The Sheet Thing Works
These are the sizes that sheets of card stock can be cut into and the number of pieces one sheet makes.
Use the chart or widget above to find the number of pieces you need and sheets required.
For example if you need 1000 business cards then order 14 sheets and they will cut into 1008 cards.

Basic Art Rules and Info
If you are making art for one of these products please use the sizes given to start with and create in normal RGB color space as CMYK is not required. Please do not include any bleed area or cut mark. Keep text and logos at least 1/8th inch or 40 pixels from the edge for safety.
If you have ready art that has bleeds and CMYK colors go ahead and upload it to your Image Zone and place your order. We will build and email a proof from it and ask any question we have.
If you just have old art or screenshots of sketches or ANY messy art situation just upload it all to your Image Zone or email it to clink@sbdtexas.com with some info about the project. Feel free to order what you need and we will work with you to get everything proofed.
If you have "art file anxiety" we are the cure. We are focused on your intent and vision be it simple or complex. A single sign or a large projects, tiny shops to franchise level deployments get the same workflows that streamline things and eliminate mystery.
What Happens When I Order?
When you complete your order you will get an automated email with the order information. We will look at the art and generate a proof in about an hour or less and email you. We may email, call or text you if we have any questions. We will email proofs and put approved files in your Image Zone for future use.
