Artwork
We want your finished product looking super! For this to happen we need excellent artwork. If you're supplying us with artwork we have a few specific requirements to ensure the best results for your products!
Each product has specific requirements we will go through the general ones here in some detail.
Bleed Area
The bleed is the area of your artwork that extends beyond the sized of the finished document. This prevents any white lines appearing in your product when printed. We recommend a bleed area of 3 mm at each side of your design.
Quiet Area
No text or images should be placed in the quiet area this is to ensure that no text or image gets cut or folded in the finishing process. We recommend a quiet area of 5 mm from the edge of the finished document size.
If you don't have bleed or quiet areas in your artwork please contact us so we can review it.
