Hans. the best way is to create your artwork to the size the cards will be.<BR>
I have attached a template you can use, this way you can align your artwork to the page dimensions instead of trying to do the aligning according to objects on an A4 artboard/canvas. <BR>
<BR>
My dimensions include bleed,live area and the trim to size on a 85mm x 50mm sized card, but you can resize the cards to meet your own preferences. 85mm x 50mm ensures you get 10 cards per A4 sheet if you want to impose this later on, though it will be better to get the printers to do their own impositions.
