BLEED

2 mm circumferential (unless otherwise specified)

with data check:

When ordering with the option "with data check", we check whether you have accounted for a sufficient bleed. 

We will notify you if necessary.

without data check:

When ordering the product "without data check", we will produce automatically without a prior check. Data without bleed or with a white bleed tolerance are adjusted automatically where possible. We cannot exclude layout changes in this process (e.g. scaling or distortion).

General notes:

The bleed serves as tolerance for cutting differences in production. 

Paper is a natural material that is subject to certain variations due to environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. This may result in deviations of up to one millimetre in final cutting. Please note that these cutting differences can also affect folded products and their fold. 

We recommend to position essential information and text that must not be cut off at least 4 mm away from the edge in the final format.

When generating a PDF file, professional layout programs enable you to include different markers and auxiliary characters as well. Please create your data without markers and auxiliary characters if possible. If the program you are using does not allow excluding markers or auxiliary characters, please set cutting markers only.

Summary:

  • Account for cutting tolerances of up to 1 mm
  • Create your data without markers and auxiliary characters.
  • Position text and important information such as logos, addresses, text, etc. at least 4 mm away from the edge.
