Bleeds are required in all artwork with an image that extends the trim edge of the product. Add a quarter inch (0.125″) to each side to allow for cutting. For example, for a 3.5″ x 2″ Business card with full bleed, the image size should be submitted at 3.75″ x 2.25″
0.125″ (1/8″) on each edge of the card will be trimmed off during the cutting process. This will leave you a 3.5″ x 2″ standard Business cards.
Your type (text) should be 0.125″ (1/8″) inside the cut box on each side. This will guarantee your text to not be cut off form your artwork.

All color mode must be in CMYK. If files are submitted in RGB, there will be a color shift or colors dropping out, however we always try our best to check your file and fix them before printing.
