Question
What file formatting and bleed requirements do I need for my print project?
Answer
Formatting files with the right bleed keeps color running all the way to the edge. Bleed is the extra space past the final trim size that prevents white borders after cutting.
- Add a .125" bleed to your file for proper edge-to-edge printing.
- Extend background colors and images into that bleed area.
- Requirements can vary by product and size, so check the specs for the exact product you are ordering.
