Q: What is a bleed and when should it be used?
A: A bleed is extra area outside of your document that is trimmed off to insure proper cuts. In simple terms - your background should go off an 8th of an inch more than your actual print size. Bleed is not required unless it is specified under the product description. You should download our pre-approved templates to ensure that your job is designed properly.
WE REQUIRE BLEEDS ON BUSINESS CARDS. No Exceptions or you risk your job being miscut. Although our cutting staff is extremely precise, we cannot guarantee any print job cuts without the added bleed when required.
Also, please keep your text at least 1/4" away from the edge of the piece unless it is an eighth page or smaller. This way your text is in a "safe" area. If you have any questions regarding this policy you may call us, or use our design templates.
