Printing Specifications

Inner Margin: .125"
To prevent important text or photo elements from getting cut off, we require keeping design elements inside the inner margin.

Outer Bleed: .125"
To prevent unwanted white edges from appearing around your design, we require extending background colors and photos to the full bleed size.
