I once wrote that when we were in Thailand, we made business cards for ourselves. We thought for a long time, waited for something, and did it right before leaving, although they were no longer really needed. But this thing is very convenient, and it will come in handy on our next trips. So, while in Phuket, I found only one office that was engaged in the printing of business cards. It looks very serious, but when I tried to find out from them what format they need, what requirements for the layout, they mumbled something to me, they say jpg is suitable for any size. I thought strangely, but since the business card was needed not for work, but in order to quickly send my email to new friends, I made an order.
Now we are already in Russia, and soon there will be a need to make another batch of business cards. I found a good company that deals with all kinds of printing: business cards, booklets, brochures, and even the development of corporate identity for companies. The latter is not yet relevant to me, but the rest may come in handy.
It's so nice to see a whole page dedicated to what the layout should be. Everything is clear and clear - file format and program, required indents, color model and resolution. And not just, give us a jpg and we will print something for you. Although they probably can offer this, just then without pretensions. After which I’m thinking, how so? Are Thais not picky about the quality of printing? Any color picture for them for happiness? After all, their country from the point of view of progress, will be more modern than Russia - and their buses are completely comfortable and with air conditioning, and the roads are luxurious, and everyone has phones with touchscreens..
There is now such a huge selection of printing houses in Moscow that you can order printing anywhere. And I am sure that everywhere they will be able to clearly explain what will be required of you to provide for printing. Well, or alternatively, you will be asked to adjust your source to the required format on the spot. So, if you go to Thailand (I don't know about other Asian countries), then make business cards or brochures for your trip in advance, since it is not a fact that the quality will triple you on the spot. Well, or get ready to explain what exactly you need, and then control all the work.
