Bleed / Trim / Live area

No matter what size of your printing matter is, your artwork needs to follow this guideline. See the sample artworks. 

Trim size is the size of the finshed page.

Bleed,  To produce a bleed is to print on paper larger than the final page size and cut down to the correct (trim) size after printing. The allowance for bleed is 4 mm.

Live Area, all text needs to stay within this area unless you want it to bleed off the page. All photos or other graphics that you do not want to bleed need to stay within this area. The 8mm. margin allows the printing press to have room to trim properly.

Can't change your artwork ?

In case you cannot change the artwork and don't want any part to be cut out. We can help by reducing the size of your artwork area about 3mm and add the white border on each side. Please see the picture no.2 below.
