Question

What file specifications do I need to follow when uploading my design?

Answer

When you upload a design, keep everything important inside the red guideline shown in the preview. That line marks the safe print area and the trim boundary. Anything past it can be cut off.

  • Fit key content (text, logos, faces) within the red safe line.
  • Let backgrounds extend to the outer edge to fill the bleed.
  • Anything outside the safe line risks being trimmed during cutting.
  • Review the proof closely before submitting to confirm nothing critical falls in the cut zone.
