WHAT IS A BLEED?
Full-bleed printing means that you want your piece to be printed without borders from edge to edge. Bleed is that ink that goes beyond the edge of the paper after we trim it to the final size. By extending the ink beyond the trim, it helps compensate for any mechanical tolerances of the printing process, preventing an unwanted white border from showing at the edge.
If you want a background color or image to print to the edge of your page you will need to design your file with a 1/8" bleed on all 4 sides. As an example, if you want a 5x7 full bleed postcard you will need to send us a 5.25x7.25 file. We also require a 1/8" safety margin on all 4 sides. We recommend uploading high resolution PDF files to ensure the best printing quality. Since we cannot be responsible for files we did not design, we recommend ordering a printed proof. See our FAQ for more details.
