When designing your art work it is essential that we print on an area larger than the correct document size. This extra area is called the 'bleed area' and is required to ensure that the ink covers the edges of the documents and does not leave an unprinted white border around the edge of the paper. We recommend a 3mm bleed on every side of any artwork you supply to us. We also suggest that any content (text or borders) are kept a further 5mm in from the trimmed size to avoid being cut off.

We also suggest you only use high resolution images (300dpi or above) and please ensure you have permission of the copyright holder to use their image.
