What trim should you create?

We require a bleed to have a minimal margin when cutting your artwork. To create the bleed, the graphic/background color must be extended to the edge.

The print files for small format printing require the following bleeds:

- Business cards: 2 mm on all sides (so for 8.5x5.5 cm endforms, a data format of 8.9x5.9 cm)
- formats over 9x5 cm (e.g. flyers and leaflets): 1 mm on all four sides
- print files for magazines and brochures (multi-page files): 3 mm bleed all around.

All print files for large format printing on any type of media require at least 1 mm bleed on each side. In the case of accessories such as reinforcements and eyelets, products printed on both sides or framed products, specific bleeds are required, so we advise you to use the file template available for each product on the website, as well as to consult the instructions.

However, this rule does not affect the following products because they already have a bleed area in their template:

- Table flyer holder

- Table displays

- Merchandise displays

- Packages

Look for a green outer trim line.
