About this job
A publisher or content brand needs both the card and the magazine to look consistent. The card is handed out at meetings and events, and the magazine carries the brand's stories and adverts to a broader readership in Singapore.
The card is black with gold foil lettering and a gold-painted edge that shows along the side, plus softly rounded corners. The name, tagline and website are set in gold, so the whole card reads as a single colour scheme. The magazine cover is full colour, with a skyline photograph, a large title and a scan-to-view QR code at the bottom right. The magazine issue is wrapped in clear film for delivery.
Edge-painted cards are produced by stacking cut cards and applying colour to the edges, then letting it dry before packing. Foil is stamped with a die made from the artwork. For the magazine, pages are printed, collated and bound with a glued spine, then trimmed on three sides. The cover QR code is scanned from the proof, and page order and cover alignment are checked before the run is completed.

What are painted edges on a card?
Painted edges are coloured sides of the card, often gold or black, applied after cutting. They give a finished, thicker look when viewed from the side and suit formal business cards.
What is perfect binding?
Perfect binding glues the pages to a wrapped cover along the spine. It produces a clean, square spine that can carry a title and suits magazines, journals and thicker booklets.
Can a magazine cover carry a QR code?
Yes. A QR code on a cover can link to a website or digital edition. Print it with enough size and contrast, and scan it from the proof to check it works.
Can EZ Print print something similar on a deadline?
Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
