Question
What bleed and resolution requirements do I need for my file?
Answer
Two things keep a file production-ready: enough bleed for clean edges and enough resolution for sharp detail. Build your artwork as a high-resolution PDF with bleed on every side.
| Requirement | Spec |
|---|---|
| Bleed | 0.125" on all sides |
| Resolution | 300 DPI or greater |
| Format | High-resolution PDF |
- Extend edge artwork fully into the 0.125" bleed.
- Keep key content inside the safe margin so trimming never clips it.
