Resize Sports Cards for Print
Budget: $100 – $150 AUD
I have a set of sports cards that exist only as JPEG files. The printer has come back with very precise bleed requirements: every card needs an extra 8 mm added to its height and 6 mm to its width, plus a further 6 mm background extension all-round. Nothing inside the current border can move, stretch, or distort, yet the enlargement has to stay perfectly proportional so the graphics that sit close to the edge remain intact.
What I need from you is a clean, print-ready version of each card that passes the printer’s pre-press check on the first try. Accuracy is critical—payment will be released only after the printer confirms that the files meet their standards. Please work non-destructively so any tweaks the printer requests can be handled quickly.
Key points
• Source material: JPEG only (no layered files).
• Edge sensitivity: graphics sit right by the border, so cloning/extension must be seamless.
• Final dimensions: current card size +8 mm height, +6 mm width, plus 6 mm bleed all around.
• Turnaround: the finished, approved files must be back to me by this Thursday.
* When enlarging please allow for bleed which is in proper proportion.
* Please add an extra 8mm to the height and 6mm to the width of the cards needing editing.
* Leave the inside the same just increase the area outside of the border.
* the background image on all your files needs to be 6mm bigger
* 49 cards need to be correctly re-sized and ready by the end of this week.
Deliverables
1. Print-ready files for every card (preferably high-resolution PDF or TIFF, but I will accept flattened JPEG if that is the printer’s requirement).
2. A quick proof of one card early in the process so I can forward it for confirmation.
3. Final confirmation screenshots or approval email from the printer.
If you are confident with precise bleed setup in Photoshop or Affinity Photo and can meet the deadline, let’s get started right away.
