Print File Guidelines
To ensure your designs are perfect for printing, understanding the concepts
of Safe Area, Print Size Area, and
Bleed Area is essential for creating
"Print Ready Files." When uploading your files via our
website for every order, the Safe Area guarantees that key content is
visible, the Print Area outlines the actual size and cutting zone of your
product, and the Bleed Area extends to the outermost cut line, allowing
backgrounds to reach the edges of your product. This approach avoids white
edges for a sleek, professional finish. Position important
elements wisely and extend backgrounds as needed for the best printed
outcome.
What is the Safe Area?
All content within the Safe Area is guaranteed to appear on your printed
product. Content outside this area may be cut off during the trimming
process. For best results,
keep text and important elements of your photos, logos, and
designs within the Safe Area. We recommend
5mm of safe area from each edge of the Print Area for
Logos/Borders/Text.
What is the Print Size Area?
The Print Size Area is the space between the Safe Area and the
product edges. This area defines the
actual size of your product and where it will be cut after
printing. For optimal outcomes, ensure that all important content is not
located in this area and that the background colors/artwork extend beyond
this area.
What is the Bleed Area?
The Bleed Area marks the outermost point to which your product could be cut.
Background colors or images that extend completely to this line are referred
to as full bleed.
Full bleed ensures that your background will print to the very edge of
your product. We recommend a minimum of 3 mm bleed on the sides and
top/bottom of your files. White edges occur when the background does not
extend to the bleed line.
Why is it necessary to outline a font?
Outlining fonts for printing ensures consistency, avoids
licensing issues, enhances file compatibility, and can
reduce file size. It converts text into graphics,
ensuring the design appears as intended across all systems
and printers, maintaining design integrity and quality in printed materials.
This step is crucial for
achieving professional-quality prints and
customer satisfaction.
