PDF - all fonts should be embedded in PDF files.Bleed
A bleed is an extension of your background color or image going beyond the intended trim size of your piece. This ensures that the color or image continues to the edge of your piece.Please build your press-ready digital files by adding 0 .125" all around dimension for all products.
Borders
We recommend that you leave at least 0.125" from all surrounding edges of your printed piece for all critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.). Anything left too close to the edge may be cut off during trimming.
