Always add 3 mm to the target size!

If your target end format is DIN A6 (= 105 x148 mm), for example, there must be a 3 mm bleed. This will increase your document size to 111 x 154 mm. (3 mm per trimmed page = a total addition of  6 mm in height and 6 mm width).

The bleed is indispensable for further processing. It is completely cut off later during final cutting. Background images or extensive elements that are to reach the flyer's edge must be moved into the 3 mm bleed to guarantee a clean cutting edge in the prospective flyer.

Moerover, it is important that text and crucial information be placed at least 2 mm away from the original or interior edge. Otherwise they might be cut off! In general, any text located too close to the edge is rather unappealing.

If you have any questions on arranging your file, please do not hesitate to ask our service team for help!

• Resolution:
  Image resolution must be at least 300 dots per inch (dpi). Make sure you use high-resolution images for your print templates in order to avoid (slightly) pixelated print products.
• Color mode:
  The color mode of your print data must be CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and key); otherwise, printing may produce a (slightly) changed overall visual impression. (We automatically convert RGB (red, green, and blue) color modes to CMYK.)
• File format:
  Save your file as a PDF. Ensure fonts are embedded and transparencies reduced (to the extent possible).
• Page order:
  Send multi-page documents chronologically in the correct order as a single PDF file or name individual documents and insert sequential page numbers.
