If I have a border or carefully centered graphic as part of my design, are they going to be ok?

Borders and carefully centered graphics are the elements most affected by normal cutting movement. A frame that looks perfectly even on screen can trim slightly uneven, so plan the design with that tolerance in mind.

• If centering your artwork is critical, we generally do not recommend borders.
• If the borders are to be printed, keep them thick and set well inside the trim line.
• Avoid thin, hairline frames, which reveal even a small cutting shift.
• Hold centered graphics inside the safety margin so nothing important sits near the edge.

For designs where symmetry is essential, a borderless or full-bleed layout is the more forgiving option.
