Bleed/Trim Information

When placing your images into a template, keep in mind you will need at least a 1/16" bleed area on all sides for print trimming. If you see a dotted line such as on our die-cut wallet prints, that is an indication of a bleed area. If you are ordering a mounted photo print, there can be up to ⅛” of trim from each side. For album spreads, we highly recommend 1/4'' on all sides. It is required that you keep all essential elements such as text and faces inside of this area to ensure they will not be cropped while cutting the final print. On our card products, the safe zone is represented by the green dotted line, everything in that line is safe from being trimmed. On the 5x7 cards, the actual size of the designed card is 5.25x7.25, then after it’s printed, our team trims down the card to 5x7, so any design or information outside the trim zone will be trimmed off.

If you are creating a product, and are concerned about trimming, please contact us so that we can help review the design to see if there could be any potential trimming. Our production team tries to catch all issues to let Customer Service know, but there are instances where things can be missed.

If you want a border on your press card, be sure it starts at the green dotted safety line to ensure an even trim.
