Question
What bleed and crop marks do you need for postcards?
Answer
A 0.125" (1/8") bleed all around is required on postcard files. Crop marks are optional.
| Element | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Bleed | 0.125" on all sides |
| Crop marks | Optional, add if you like |
- Run background art fully into the bleed so no white edges show after trimming.
- If you add crop marks, keep them outside the bleed area so they do not sit on the artwork.
Keep text, logos and other key elements at least 1/8" inside the trim line, and set the file to the size and bleed listed on the Postcards page. If your file does not match the size shown in the proof, check the document dimensions and bleed, then re-export.
