Question
What file format and bleed requirements do you need for flyers?
Answer
Build flyer files at the full trim size with 1/8" (0.125") bleed on all sides, and save them as print-ready PDFs in CMYK. That combination keeps colors accurate and makes sure edge-to-edge designs do not leave a white sliver after trimming.
| Trim size | File size with bleed |
|---|---|
| 8.5" x 11" | 8.75" x 11.25" |
| 5.5" x 8.5" | 5.75" x 8.75" |
| 4" x 6" | 4.25" x 6.25" |
- File format: print-ready PDF
- Color: CMYK, not RGB
- Bleed: 1/8" past every edge
- Safe zone: keep text 1/8" inside the trim
- A sized template makes it easy to place bleed and safe lines correctly
