2. Artwork and Prepress

What Is Bleed and Why Is It Important for Print Files?

Bleed refers to the extra area that extends beyond the trim edge of your print design. It ensures that when your printed materials are trimmed to size, there are no unwanted white borders or unprinted edges. This is especially important because minor cutting shifts can occur during the finishing process.

Standard Bleed Requirements:

  • General Print Items (e.g., flyers, business cards, posters, and the inner pages or covers of bound and paperback books) require a 0.125" (3 mm) bleed on all sides.

  • Hardcover Books (Casebound) require a 0.8" bleed on all four edges of the cover (top, bottom, and both outer sides), plus 0.8" on the top and bottom of the spine. Inner pages still follow the 0.125" bleed requirement.

Hardcover books need a larger bleed because the printed cover wraps around a thick board and folds onto the inside covers. This ensures the artwork covers the full surface, including the inner wrap area, and is finished with endpapers for a professional look.

Why Do I Need to Add a 0.125" (3 mm) Bleed?

The 0.125″ or 3 mm bleed zone provides a margin of error for the trimming process. Without bleed, even a slight misalignment during cutting could leave visible white edges on your final product. Bleed guarantees your artwork reaches the very edge, resulting in clean, professional-looking prints.

How to Add Bleed to Your Print Files

When uploading your files, our system will display the required bleed area using a blue guideline in the Artwork tab. Be sure your background colors, images, or design elements extend to this line, but keep text and critical design elements within the safe zone (away from the trim edge).

If you're unable to add bleed yourself, our print experts can help!
Visit our [Bleed Support Page] for detailed instructions, or check out our [Canva Bleed Setup Guide] if you're using Canva.

What file format do you need for printing?

We recommend high-resolution PDF files with 3 mm bleed. Images should be at least 300 dpi or vector format. You may also send original working files with linked images and fonts.

What color mode should I use?

We use CMYK for offset printing. Please export your files in CMYK to ensure color accuracy. If your file is in RGB, we will convert it, but slight color shifts may occur.

Which CMYK color profile is recommended?

We recommend using Japan Color 2001 Coated for optimal color consistency.

How can I send you my artwork files?

You can send your artwork files in the following ways:

  • Email: [email protected]
  • File sharing platforms: Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, Sprend, etc. (Please send us the download link)

How do I count pages for printing?

One sheet of paper has two pages (front and back). When folded in half, one sheet equals four pages (e.g., a booklet).

Can I design using Canva?

Yes, but for best results we recommend Adobe InDesign or Illustrator. If you use Canva, make sure to enable "Show Print Bleed" and export as "PDF Print" with crop marks and bleed. Set color mode to CMYK.

Can you help modify my artwork?

If you provide editable source files (including fonts and linked images), we can assist with simple modifications. However, you are responsible for finalizing the design.

Do you provide design services?

Yes. For not-too-complex projects, we offer free design assistance—simple layout setup, basic typesetting, image placement, minor retouching, and print-ready file export (with 2–3 small revisions). We’ll also provide one-on-one technical support via email, phone, or chat.

For brand creation, custom illustration, complex packaging dielines/structures, or large creative concepts, we don’t offer full agency-level design, but we can work with your designer or recommend a partner.

3. Production Process

Can I change my designs after I’ve placed an order?

Yes, design changes can be made if production hasn’t started yet. However, a fee will apply for any completed pre-production processes that are affected by the changes.

Once production has started, design changes are no longer possible.

Can I see a proof before production?

Yes, we always send a PDF proof for your approval before production.

If you request a physical printed sample, we can provide one for an additional fee to cover manufacturing and shipping costs.

Will you reprint if a mistake has been made in the printing process?

If the mistake is our fault, we will reprint the entire run at no charge after correcting the issue.

If the error was caused by customer-provided files or information, we can reprint at your cost, which may be less than the original price depending on the situation.

Rest assured, due to our expert manual file checks, attentive support, and strict quality control, such issues are very rare.

If my order is urgent, can you speed up production?

Yes. If you have an urgent deadline, please contact us before placing your order, so we can adjust our production schedule accordingly.

We do not charge extra fees for rush orders.

Can I receive production process videos or photos?
