Bleed: (TRIM) & CUTTING: all files need 3mm bleed for cutting. If files are supplied without any bleed they will be given a border, so they can be cut correctly. For printing to be finished correctly, please ensure that any printed text or logos are 4-5mm away from the cutting edge (unless of course the design lends itself to the artwork to bleed off).
Proofs: all jobs need to be supplied with a colour proof.
NOT ACCEPTED: documents that are designed in any of the following formats or colour settings: Pagemaker, Paintshop Pro, RGB, Indexed colour, PICT or Lab colour. |
Following these guidelines ensures that there will be no delays with printing. If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to call our design team on 08712 31 01 01, who will be qualified to help and advise.
