Export from Canva for Zazzle
- In Canva, choose Share, then Download, and pick PDF Print as the file type (300 dpi). Leave “Crop marks and bleed” switched off.
- On Zazzle, open the blank product from the table above and choose your size.
- Upload your PDF as the design and stretch it to the bleed line, so the background reaches every edge; keep text inside the safe line.
Zazzle shows a preview of every card before you order. Check it once at full size.
Printing at home
- Print the PDF at 100 % (“Actual size”), never “Fit to page”.
- Use matte card of 250 to 300 gsm (90 to 110 lb cover) for cards; your printer manual names the heaviest paper it takes.
- Print the Burgundy test page from your download first: it shows how your printer renders the deep colours.
- Cut along the crop marks with a craft knife and a metal ruler, or a paper trimmer.
