How Should I Set Up My Bleed?
UpdatedJuly 6, 2024
ByWayBetterPostcard Office
Bleed must extend past the cut-line and will be trimmed from the product during the final cutting phase. When the image is required to extend all the way to the edge, bleed is needed to preserve the finished look and the quality of the final product.
– The bleed for All Digital and offset Print Products is 0.125″.
– The bleed for Signs, Posters, Display or Large Format Products is 0.250″.
Please keep all text at least 0.25″ inside the cut-line. This Safe Zone will make sure no content is compromised.
