Layout and Design Overview


Artwork to Submit - includes bleed
Submitted artwork must include bleeds of 1/8" (.125") on all sides (making the file to submit 1/4" bigger than the finished product - 1/8" on both sides). This allows your artwork to bleed off the edges of your announcement.

Actual Product Size - finished size
The finished size of your announcement varies depending upon the size you order.

Image Area - document margin
This is the safe area 1/8" (.125") inside the Product Size. No text or part of main photo that you do not want cut off should extend beyond this point.
