Layout Guide
For Creating Print-Ready Files
Guidelines are similar for any full color job:
- At least 0.1" bleed area to ensure clean trim edge. This means that a 3.5 x 2" business card file with bleeds would measure 3.7 x 2.2"
- Keep live area at least 3/16"" from trim edge. This prevents your layout from looking off-center when cut is slightly off.
- Bitmaps (raster) should be at least 350dpi for best print results.
- Vectors should have text converted to curves/outlines. This will prevent unwanted font substitution upon file transfer.
- Use CMYK mode when submitting full color files. (RGB is for screen viewing only.)
