Question

What's the safe zone for text on a business card in Photoshop?

Answer

Keep text and important logos at least 0.125 inches inside the trim line so nothing critical gets clipped during cutting. On a standard 3.5 x 2 inch card that leaves a safe design area of about 3.25 x 1.75 inches.

  • Trim size: 3.5 x 2 inches.
  • Safe zone: about 3.25 x 1.75 inches.
  • Content between the safe zone and the trim can be partially cut.
  • Combine the safe zone with 0.125 inch bleed on the outside edge.
