Full background bleed

The custom badge measures 2.125 x 3.375 inches or 638 x 1013 pixels. For a full background image you need to allow a 37.5 pixel bleed over each edge of the card (red area), plus another 37.5 pixel buffer from each edge for anything significant (yellow area). Your background image must therefore measure 713 x 1088 pixels. Anything significant should be within the middle area of 563 x 938 pixels.
 

Selecting a background

Keep in mind where you plan on placing data information such as employee names, titles etc. A background that is made up of many light and dark areas may not provide enough contrast for text information to be easily read. Each text item can be a different color, however each character in a field must be the same color and will not auto-contrast across light and dark areas.
