Question

What is the Bleed for your Packaging Products?

Answer

Bleed on all packaging products is 1/8 inch on each side, which adds up to 1/4 inch total across the piece. Extending your background and artwork into that bleed area keeps thin white slivers from showing up after the box is trimmed.

  • Per side: 1/8 inch of bleed.
  • Total added: 1/4 inch across the full dimension.
  • Keep text safe: hold important copy inside the safe zone, away from the trim.

Use the 4OVER4.COM packaging templates for full setup details, since each one shows the bleed, trim, and fold lines for that product.
