=======================================
Maybe I don't understand your question but are
you saying you upload one card and the printer
prints multiples per sheet and then cuts them
incorrectly? Or are you saying you upload the
full template of 10 cards on a page...and when
you receive the printed sheets you do not know
where to cut them?

Full bleed means a printer can print to the edge
of the paper with no borders.

Full Bleed

Adjust your .jpg as a 2 x 3.5 image in Paint or some other editing program. Or
in Publisher, select all, group, right-click, click format object, size tab.
Save as a picture.

I would think a service that makes business cards would know where the cutting
lines are. Business cards are pretty much standard. Draw a rectangle around your
card, give it a small weight point.
