How much bleed do I need?
Include bleed in your artwork whenever printing is expected to extend beyond the cut line of the label.
We recommend 3mm of bleed. 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 unavoidable shift sometimes 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, with no more than a +/- 0.5mm shift, if any!
