Should I include bleed in my artwork and how much?
Absolutely! We recommend that you include 3mm bleed on your artwork.
This extra area helps guarantee that your design extends right to the edge, even if there’s a slight shift during the cutting process.This is a standard practice in all print processes.
When your graphics are intended to reach the edge of your finished print, extend them by 3mm beyond the trim line.
Variations in cutting can occur due to factors like friction, changes in temperature or humidity, and material inconsistencies. We run a pretty tight ship here at Brand Industry, so our acceptable movement in cut is +/- 0.5mm for most materials and digital finishing methods.
