PRINTING GUIDE - Getting It Right First Time
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR ARTWORK
When sending files to print we require your artwork to include a 3mm bleed om each edge of the document.
Bleed refers to the extension of any blocks of graphics or colour that you want to run right up to the edge of the cutline.
Without bleed you can sometimes end up with a white border around your artwork where you havent carried your design far enough into the bleed area.
You must ensure that you dont leave any text or items that you dont want chopping off within the bleed area,
The most common cause for delays in printing can be attributed to files that are sent without a bleed. By following the simple rules laid out within our two PDF guides, (including this one), you can speed up the process of your order.
