KOMYO business card
A card for a brand with a sardine-tin mark and a wordmark that smiles back at you. Flood red both sides, rounded corners, blind deboss on the reverse.


The same artwork twice. Guides visible on the left, the specified print-ready file on the right.

What we did
- Built the file first, bleed, safe area and crop marks on their own labelled layers
- Set it up CMYK at 300 dpi, with the red specified to hold across flood coverage on both sides
- Designed the reverse for a blind deboss, so the mark reads by shadow and texture rather than ink
- Drew the wordmark and sardine-tin illustration to survive being reduced to card size
- Allowed for the rounded-corner cut so nothing sits where the die will take it
- Delivered print-ready, and the card was printed
The whole arc in one place: the file with its guides, the artwork specified, and a photograph of the finished card. Business cards are the highest-volume product in any small shop.
