What you actually get with Casa
Speed without guesswork. Rush-friendly workflows for same-day/next-day turnarounds on qualified orders, plus reliable timelines for specialty finishes.
Press-ready files on the first pass. We deliver the correct size, bleed, safe area, and CMYK color profile for your chosen printer—no cut-off logos or surprise hues.
On-brand design. Modern, readable layouts aligned to your logo, colors, and typography so your brand looks consistent on cards, site, and signage.
One partner, full process. Design → proofs → printer liaison → pickup or shipping. You’ll have a single point of contact the entire way.
Scalable options. From solo founders to teams that need templated staff cards, we build a system that makes reorders easy.
In short: you approve great design; we handle the technical details and the logistics.
Our promise on turnaround (and how we keep it)
Rush requests deserve clarity. Here’s how we protect your deadline:
Fast proof cycles. First concepts quickly, with two rounds of refinements included.
Pre-flight checklist. Before files go to print, we audit trim/bleed, safe area, resolution, color mode, and stock/finish compatibility.
Preferred printers. We coordinate with reputable GTA and North American printers for reliable same-day/next-day runs.
Pickup or ship. Local pickup in Toronto/GTA, or courier shipping across Canada and the U.S. We’ll recommend the path that meets your date.
If you’re not rushing, we still keep you ahead of schedule—especially for premium stocks and finishes that require extra drying or production time.
Design first, then finishes (the smart sequence)
A fancy finish can’t fix an unclear layout. We start with structure and readability, then layer in materials that elevate the design.
Design standards we don’t compromise on
Clear hierarchy. Logo → name → role → contact.
Legibility at arm’s length. Type sizes that read well, even across a table.
Whitespace, not overcrowding. Space is a design choice.
One focal idea. If the card tries to be a brochure, it fails.
Brand consistency. Colors and typography that match your site, presentations, and signage.
Finishes that add polish (when time allows)
Premium stocks: uncoated cotton, textured linen, soft-touch.
Foil or spot UV: for logos or key details.
Emboss/deboss: subtle depth that photographs beautifully.
Rounded corners or die-cuts: modern profile without sacrificing readability.
Edge coloring: a quiet, premium detail that stands out in a stack.
Rush jobs often pair best with premium stocks and simple, clean layouts. We’ll advise what fits your timeline and budget.
Print-perfect production (so you avoid reprints)
Most reprints happen because the file wasn’t prepared for print. We prevent that with disciplined production:
Size: Standard North American 3.5″ × 2″ (88.9 × 50.8 mm) or your preferred dimensions.
Bleed: Typically 0.125″ (3 mm) beyond trim on all sides.
Safe area: Keep key text at least 0.125″ (3 mm) inside the trim line.
Color mode: CMYK (never RGB), with ink coverage checks to avoid muddy darks.
Resolution: 300 dpi for raster elements; vectors for logos whenever possible.
Proofing: Magnified pre-press proofs showing trim/bleed/safe guides before you approve.
You’ll receive the native source file, press-ready PDF, and an outlined-type archive for hassle-free reorders.

One unmistakable focal point (usually your name or logo).
Readable typography—no hunting for phone or email.
Breathing room around every element.
Color contrast that prints clean in CMYK.
Stock/finish that matches the brand (soft-touch for contemporary tech; textured uncoated for artisanal goods).
A back-of-card concept that adds value (tagline, QR to contact card, or appointment space).
We tailor this to you—no template lock-in.
