Bleed
If your artwork continues to the edge of the sheet bleed is required.
Printing presses do not print right to the edge of the sheet so to achieve full bleed we print on oversized sheets and then cut back down to the original size.
For tear off note pads that requires the design to continue of the sheet an extra 3mm bleed is required. For example if you are printing an A4 note pad with bleed, the artwork needs to be set to 216 x 303mm. The job is then cut back to the final size of 297 x 210mm.

Safe Zone
We recommend using a safe zone if you are printing important graphics of text near the edge of the sheet. We work to cutting tolerances of +/- 2mm.
For standard note pads we recommend working within a safe zone of 3mm inside of the original size.
For example on an A4 note pad the safe zone measurements would be 291 x 204mm

File format
We only accept artwork as a press ready PDF and this is the only file format you can upload with us.

Fonts
If you have created your artwork in a software program such as Adobe Illustrator or Indesign, we recommend converting all text to outlines. This will make the file non-dependent on fonts and
prevent any font issues.
When working with PDF files please embed all fonts in the document when asked to do so.
This is particularly important when working with custom fonts.
