Card preview is never the same as final image

Have used FP many times in the past and despite always being happy with the quality of the final cards there are a couple of issues though that I have every single time I use them. Firstly I usually use the full page photo card and design my own images in Photoshop. Despite the fact that the images are designed to be A5 size they seldom fit properly after being uploaded and I have to resort to adding massive white borders before uploading then zooming in to make the image take up the full space available on the card. This is time consuming and frustrating. My second bigger issue is that despite the card preview showing my card fitting perfectly, when the final card arrives there is always some part of it chopped off. My most recent portrait sized card had some of the text chopped off despite showing it fitting perfectly on the preview. Annoying and disappointing having spent so much time designing the card.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback and I am so sorry that your card arrived differently than expected.

the image dimension for our A5 cards is 152 x 216mm however, your card will always be slightly zoomed in to make sure the image fills the front of the card correctly. A few millimetres of the image uploaded is kept outside of the template in the "bleeding zone". This is there to make sure there's no empty space on your design.

I've checked your card and the text should have been printed onto your card correctly. Could you please send me an email at feedback@funkypigeon.com with your order number so that I can look into this further? Thanks, Rebeka
