What is Bleed?

Your artwork’s bleed extends past the edge of the label or sticker. This is usually the background of your artwork and is trimmed during the printing process.

Why is bleed necessary?

Having bleed on your artwork means that your finished product will have no white edges. This helps to ensure the design is kept right to the edge of the label, sticker or poster if there is any slight regular movement during the printing process.

How much bleed should I add?

We ask that you add an extra 3mm of bleed past the edge of the label to make sure your product prints successfully.

How can I set up bleed?

Most standard design tools have an option to set bleed on a design. However, other design programs such as Photoshop don’t have this type of feature. Another way to set up bleed is to make your artwork’s design larger by 3mm on each side manually.

We recommend Adobe Illustrator –

If you are using Adobe Illustrator Choose 100% Cyan for the colour of the line and select Create New Swatch.

Name the swatch CutContour and save the colour type as Spot Colour.

Set the line thickness to Stroke 0.25 pt.
