What is Bleed Edge?

The bleed edge should always be included to ensure that artwork gets printed to the edge. This is because artwork gets printed with larger dimensions and is subsequently trimmed down.

Backgrounds and graphics should be extended into the bleed area. Not having them extend into the bleed area could result in a white or unprinted border around the edge of the postcard. For 4x6 postcards, you'll notice that the file that you are uploading is actually 4.25" x 6.25" instead of 4" x 6". This extra space is what we call the bleed edge.

When ordering the postcards online, our digital proof preview will always 'trim' the bleed edge so that you will see exactly what the postcards will look like when they are printed.
