General Page Layout

There are many steps to follow when laying out a print project. In the following section we will cover page size, bleed and trim.

Page Size:

Page size or document size is set up to be the same as your intended final product size. If your final product is a 4" x 6" postcard, the file size or document size should be 4" x 6".

Bleed:

Bleed is required when you have elements in your document that extend outside the page size. This allows images and backgrounds to print all the way to the edge of a product. We require a minimum of 1/8" bleed.

Trim:

It is recommended that any critical type, images or graphics that do not bleed stay 3/16" inside of the trim.
