How do I use my own artwork on a Scribble card?
Go to Designs → New design → Upload your own artwork and upload a print-ready PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, PDF or TIFF up to 15 MB. Scribble prints what you give it and never re-colours or re-crops it. The card is A2: a 216 × 140 mm spread that folds to 108 × 140 mm.

Get the file from your designer at final size
108 × 140 mm for the front panel, at 300 dpi. Ask for the print-ready file, not the presentation PDF.
Upload it
Designs → New design → Upload your own artwork, then choose the file.
You’ll know it worked when The filename shows as Ready to upload under the field.
Name and save
Name it after the occasion and the year, then create the design.
Prove it physically
Build a small campaign using the design and order a physical proof on the review step, or send one card to yourself.
You’ll know it worked when The card that arrives has the artwork you expected, the right way up, correctly positioned.
#What Scribble does not do to your file
- It does not re-colour it.
- It does not re-crop it.
- It does not up-res it or sharpen it.
- It does not add a Scribble mark to the front.
This is deliberate: we print what you give us. It also means a file at the wrong size or the wrong resolution will be printed at the wrong size or the wrong resolution, which is the other reason to order a proof.
#Common questions
- Do I need bleed?
- Card and envelope stock arrive at final size, so there is no trim step. Supply artwork at final size.
- Can I put artwork on the back of the card?
- The back cover carries Scribble's branding block, which includes the card's tracking code as a retail-style product code. The front is yours.
- Can I have my own envelopes?
- Not through the self-serve product. Talk to us if you are running volume where it matters.
- What about a logo inside the card?
- That belongs in the inside layout rather than in the printed artwork, and it will be written in pen rather than printed. See the inside of the card.
