Is the card designer really free?

Yes, without an account and without a limit on designs. Every card carries a small redeemoid wordmark in the corner.

Do you keep my image or my codes?

No. Both are only used to build the PDF and are gone once it has been sent to you. Nothing is saved, not even in a log.

Can I use Bandcamp codes?

Yes. Paste them one per line and enter your redemption page, for example yourname.bandcamp.com/yum. With the code attached, the QR code opens that page with the code already filled in.

Which paper and printer settings?

Card stock of 250 to 350 g/m², printed at actual size (100 %, no fit to page), then cut along the crop marks with a guillotine or a craft knife.

What is the print shop file?

A PDF/X-4 with one card per page, 3 mm bleed and CMYK colours – what a print shop asks for. Every page carries its own code.

I have no codes yet. What now?

Start with the placeholder code to see the result. Real codes with hosting and a redemption page come from redeemoid; your first batch of up to 5 codes is free.

QR code and redemption page Print a QR code on the card

Redemption page

Where your buyers enter the code. Needed with your own codes and a QR code; the placeholder uses redeemoid's demo page.

Attach the code to the QR link (?code=…), so buyers do not have to type it

Your image and your codes are only used to build the PDF and are not stored.

From the PDF to the card

Print the A4 sheet on card stock of 250 to 350 g/m², at actual size (100 %, no fit to page).
Cut along the crop marks with a guillotine or a craft knife: ten cards per sheet.
For larger runs, send the print shop file to a print shop: one card per page with 3 mm bleed, in CMYK.
Put a card in every sleeve before shrink-wrapping – and a sticker on the wrap, so buyers know.
