How do I set up bleed correctly?
Bleed allows artwork to extend past the trim edge, ensuring clean, edge-to-edge printing after cutting.
General bleed guidelines:
- Bleed must extend beyond the cut line
- Keep all text and important elements at least 0.125" inside the cut line
Bleed requirements by product type:
- Standard Products: 0.125" bleed
- Booklets & Presentation Folders: 0.25" bleed
- Grand4mat Products: Refer to individual G4Mat substrate FAQs
We highly recommend using our official templates to ensure accurate sizing, bleed, and safety zones.
