File Setup for Bleeds, Cutline and Safety
Bleeds are required in all artwork with an image extending to one of the borders. Add a quarter inch (0.125") to each side to allow for cutting. For example, for a 8.5” x 11” Booklet with full bleed, the image size should be submitted at 8.75” x 11.25” (red box).

0.125" (1/8”) on each edge of the Booklet  will be trimmed off during the cutting process. This will leave you a
8.5” x 11” standard Booklet. (black box).
Your type (text) should be 0.125" (1/8”) inside the cut box on each side. This will guarantee your text to not be cut off form your artwork (blue box).

File Setup for Borders
The cutting process for printed materials has a mechanical tolerance of about 0.0625 or 1/16 of an inch. When using a border in your artwork, it is essential that your design use at least 0.25 or 1/4 of an inch of white space from your border to the cut line to maintain a symmetric appearance.
