Bleed: 111 x 154mm
If artwork contains edge-to-edge objects such as colour backgrounds or images, make sure these extend into the 3mm bleed area. This bleed will be trimmed off when finished.
Trim: 105 x 148mm
This is the final size that the artwork will be trimmed to. Custom and square sizes are also available within this print size.
Safe area: 95 x 138mm
Create a safe area at least 5mm away from the artwork edges. Ensure all objects such as logos or text are kept within this area.
See Set-up for further information about colour profiles and file saving.
Papers
Textured and Heavier Weight
We advise against digitally printing dark, solid, edge-to-edge artwork coverage on both sides when using textured and heavier weight papers (270 – 650gsm) as we cannot guarantee the finish quality. Solid coverage artwork designs are best printed on smooth papers.
Kraft
Kraft papers are best suited to darker print colours, light colours may not as print well due to the paper’s natural tone. Our printers do not print the colour white.
See Papers for further details.
