What is the trim line?

0

The trim line is located 1/8th of an inch away from the outside edge of your design. This imaginary line marks where the printing press will cut. The extra space left is the bleed area which is discarded after cutting. YOU MUST TAKE THIS EXTRA 1/8″ INTO ACCOUNT WHEN CREATING YOUR OWN DESIGNS!! For instance, a 4″x6″ postcard will have a design template that measures 4.25″x6.25″ (4 + .125 + .125) & (6 + .125 + .125). For best results, take your background colors all the way to the edge of the design template, leaving no whitespace as shown in the examples.

For best results, take your background colors all the way to the edge of the design template, leaving no whitespace as shown in the examples. • What is the text line? The text line is located 1/16th of an inch away from the trim line. This imaginary line marks the boundary where your text should stop. Although the automated machines used to cut are highly accurate, it’s best to leave that extra space from the cut line to assure text is not cut off. This also aids in centering the text on the design. • What types of files are accepted? We currently accept JPG/JPEG, PDF, E
