Question
What can I do if my existing design doesn't fit the print template?
Answer
If your existing design does not line up with the template, it usually just needs to be resized or rebuilt to the correct dimensions rather than scrapped.
- Match your document to the product's final trim size, then add bleed around it.
- Scale artwork to fill the full bleed area so no white edges appear after cutting.
- Pull text and logos back inside the safety margin once the size is corrected.
- If the aspect ratio is different from your original, expect to reposition elements rather than stretch them.
Starting from the template dimensions and dropping your artwork in is usually faster than forcing an off-size file to fit.
