Your file, by the numbers.
- PDF, AI, EPS or SVG work best; we check any file you send.
- Foil is one solid color: no gradients or photos in the foil parts.
- Draw square corners; we cut rounded ones.
- Bleed area
Make sure your background and any photos extend to fill the bleed, 3 mm (0.125 in) past the trim on every side, so there are no white edges after cutting.
- Trim
This is where we aim to cut. The trim size is the finished size.
- Safe area
Keep anything important, such as text and logos, inside the safe area, 3 mm (0.125 in) in from the trim; otherwise it may be cut off.TBC

Will you check my design before printing?
