Question

What should I include in my order file to ensure correct printing and cutting?

Answer

To print and cut correctly, your file needs clear cut lines and enough bleed around the edges. Anything with a custom shape should be marked so the printer knows exactly how to cut it.

File elementWhat to include
Cut linesClearly mark where the product should be cut
BleedUse a 1/8 inch (0.125 inch) bleed around the design
Custom die cutMark the shape or note the cutting requirements
  • Keep important text and logos away from the cut lines.
  • Share any special cutting needs with your printer when you send the file.
