Question
What file format and bleed requirements do you have for mailing pieces?
Answer
Mailing pieces use a larger bleed than a standard card because trimming and mail handling need a little more room. Build the file correctly and confirm the details for your exact component.
| Spec | Requirement |
|---|---|
| File format | |
| Bleed | 0.25" on all sides |
| Color mode | CMYK |
- Booklets, cards, and envelopes may each have slightly different requirements.
- Keep addressing and postal indicia areas clear per mailing rules.
- Share your specific project details with the team for exact specs on multi-part pieces.
Nailing bleed and color mode up front keeps a time-sensitive mail drop on schedule.
