Does my artwork need bleed?

Last updated: 2026-01-05

If your design prints to the edge, you need bleed. Without it, tiny cut variations can leave white slivers on the edge. That looks cheap—even if the print quality is good.

Rule of thumb

• Add bleed if colour or imagery touches the edge
• Keep critical text inside a safe margin

If you don’t have a dieline

• Tell us your final size + corner radius (if rounded)
• We’ll generate a simple dieline for proofing
