Creating Files in Corel Draw
To create a new artwork in CorelDraw select File > New (Ctrl+N).
As shown in the image below, set the paper size in the drop down menu to Custom and choose between landscape or portrait orientation. Set the drop down menu for units to millimeter and enter the dimensions.
For business cards set the size to 91mm x 61mm and for A6 post card to 151.5mm x 108mm.

Any time an image or colour is printed to the edge of a page, it must extend beyond the final dimensions of your job to allow for cutting. The size for the bleed of a business must be exactly 3mm and for an A6 post card 1.5mm (4.2pt).
Text or artwork you wish to preserve must be at least 3mm (8.5pt) inside of the final dimension of your design.
For business cards set the guides to 3mm, 6mm, 55mm and 58mm vertically and 3mm, 6mm, 85mm and 88mm horizontally. For post cards set the guides to 1.5mm, 4.5mm, 103.5mm and 106.5mm vertically and 1.5mm, 4.5mm, 147mm and 150mm horizontally across the postcard.
CorelDRAW provides an option called Guidelines that helps to mark the Safety Margin. Guidelines can be set under View > Guidelines setup. You can add and delete as many horizontal and vertical guidelines as you need.

It is recommended that you save your work as EPS. To do so select File > Export (Ctrl+E) and select .eps as type.
To save the document as JPG or TIFF choose the option File > Export (Ctrl+E). If your image contains a large amount of fine detail, you may wish to save it as a TIFF (.tif) file instead of a JPG in order to maintain print quality. This makes a much larger file, which will take longer to upload to our system.
