What are trim, bleeds and safe margins?
When preparing artwork for print, understanding trim, bleeds and safe margins is essential to ensure your final product looks professional and error-free. These guidelines help maintain the quality and integrity of your design during the process.
Trim marks indicate where the design will be cut to its final size.
Bleed is the area outside the trim, ensuring there are no unprinted edges once the document is cut.
Safe margins are the buffer zones around the design, keeping critical elements like text away from the edges to prevent them from being cut off.
Following these principles can avoid common printing errors and achieve a polished final product.
How do I make sure my artwork is fully print-ready?
To get the best possible results from your print job, your artwork must be set up correctly.
Image resolution
All images should be 300 DPI (dots per inch) to make sure your print comes out crisp and clear.
- Avoid using web images, as they are typically 72-96 DPI and can appear blurry when printed. Any image below 100 DPI will be flagged and rejected, so ensure your images are at least 300 DPI for optimal quality.
- If your images are over 450 DPI, they will be downsampled to 300 DPI during processing.
Colour mode
Make sure your artwork is set up in CMYK, which is the standard colour profile used in professional printing.
- Files in RGB will be converted during processing, which can lead to unexpected colour changes.
- If you use a special finish like spot UV or foil, keep those elements as spot colours.
Fonts
- Keep font sizes above 5pt to make sure everything stays legible.
- For small text (between 5pt and 7pt), we recommend using 100% black for better readability.
- Embed your fonts or convert them to outlines before exporting. This ensures they display correctly, even if we don't have your font on file.
Bleed and crop marks
- Add a 3mm bleed on all sides to ensure your design runs cleanly to the edge after trimming.
- Crop marks are essential, as they show us exactly where to trim your finished product.
File format
We recommend exporting your file as a PDF/X-1a:2001. This format is the print industry standard, as it flattens transparencies, embeds fonts and removes anything that could cause issues in production.
File size
Files should be under 500 MB each. If your file is too large, try compressing it using an online tool like smallpdf.com or ilovepdf.com. They'll reduce the size without lowering the quality.
How do I set up a PDF correctly for print?
To avoid delays or file rejections, your artwork must be saved as a print-ready PDF using a recognised tool like Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator or InDesign, and not a program's default 'Export to PDF' feature.
We recommend exporting in PDF/X-1a:2001 format. This industry-standard format ensures:
- All fonts and images are embedded, avoiding missing elements during printing.
- CMYK and spot colours only are used. We don't print spot colours, but they are essential for finishes like spot UV or foil.
- No transparencies are left unflattened, which helps prevent display or printing errors.
- Simplified file structures, with no layers, making your design easier to interpret by our systems.
To prepare your file:
- Use Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator or InDesign.
- Choose PDF/X-1a:2001 in your export settings.
- Embed fonts and images.
- Use 'Output Preview' to check colours, layout and resolution.
Ensure your file size remains under 500 MB. If needed, you can compress it using tools like smallpdf.com or ilovepdf.com without compromising print quality.
How do I orient artwork for printing?
Proper orientation is essential to ensure your printed materials turn out as intended and avoid any issues. Here's what to keep in mind based on the type of artwork you're submitting:
Single-sided artwork
- Landscape Orientation: Ensure the file is submitted in landscape format. Do not rotate it 90 degrees to portrait, as this can cause incorrect printing alignment.
- Portrait Orientation: Submit artwork in portrait format. Avoid rotating the artwork to landscape, as this could lead to printing errors.
Double-Sided Artwork:
- Landscape Orientation: Both pages must be in landscape and aligned in the same direction. When viewed side-by-side, the artwork should appear upright to ensure the back of your job does not print upside down.
- Portrait Orientation: Ensure both pages are in portrait orientation and aligned the same way. When viewed side-by-side, the pages should appear upright to avoid misalignment.
Always double-check your files to verify the orientation before submission. This simple step helps avoid reprints and ensures your final product looks as intended.
How do I supply artwork with a cut path for cut-to-shape products?
If you're ordering a cut-to-shape product, your artwork needs to include a cut path. This tells our machines exactly where to trim on your artwork.
Your cut path should be:
- A vector stroke (0.1pt thick)
- Set to a spot colour named CUT
- In the exact shape and size of the cut
You can create the spot colour in your design software by opening the Swatches panel, selecting "New Colour Swatch," setting the colour type to Spot, and naming it CUT. Choose a colour that stands out, such as 100% Magenta, allowing you to easily identify the path within your design.
This applies to external cut paths around the outside, and any internal shapes you want cut out.
If your cut path is set in CMYK instead of as a spot colour, it will be printed as part of your design. This will not be flagged, unless you've purchased an artwork check at checkout.
We also recommend:
- Using CMYK images, as RGB colours will convert and may affect colours.
- Supplying high-resolution artwork to ensure the best possible finish.
A correctly set up cut path means your product will be trimmed exactly as intended.
How should I supply artwork with drill holes?
Drill holes are a handy option if your product needs to be hung or fixed in place. If you've selected this finishing touch, here's what to know before you upload your artwork:
- 2 drill holes: These will be placed in the top corners.
- 4 drill holes: One in each corner of the product.
Each hole is 5mm wide and positioned 18mm in from the edge. Ensure that no important text, logos or key information are too close, as it could be cut.
To help with positioning, our templates include these safe zones. Using them means you don't need to consider spacing or layout.
How do I prepare my artwork for Scodix foil?
To create Scodix foil elements, you must set up a spot colour in your design file that tells us exactly where the foil should go.
Start by creating a new colour swatch in your design software. Change the colour type to Spot, and name it something descriptive like "Gold" or "Silver". This helps keep things in order in your artwork file. Choose a colour that stands out visually, like 100% Cyan, to identify the foil areas easily.
Next, duplicate the page on which you want to enhance the foil. On this new page, colour the elements you want to appear in foil using your spot colour. Remove these foil elements from the original printed design to prevent them from appearing twice.
It is also essential to keep foil away from edges and folds. We recommend leaving a 2mm gap around trim or fold lines and avoiding script or fine-detail fonts. Anything under 10pt can result in foil bleeding or loss of detail. Note that Scodix is only applied to one side of the product, so be sure to design your artwork accordingly.
