Page Sizes, Bleed Requirements & Colors

Our standard postcard sizes are 4×6, 5.5×8.5, 10.5×5.5 and 4.25×11. Our standard flyers sizes are 8.5×11, 8.5 x 14 and 11 x 17. For artwork that bleeds (color runs all the way to the edges), we require an extra .125” for each side. For example, a postcard with a finished size of 5.5×8.5 will require a canvas size of 5.75 x 8.75. The extra .125” all on sides will be trimmed off, so please put critical information no closer than .25” from the trim edge.

We are printing with sheet fed presses in 4-color process. Colors you see on your screen from a pdf proof or on an output from a laser or inkjet printer will not accurately reflect the actual colors we print on our CMYK 4-color process printing. Color variation is inherent in the printing process and we cannot guarantee exact color matches. If color is a concern, please ask us to provide a color-match proof prior to printing to avoid disappointment in the finished product.

Blacks are a special color in the 4-color printing world. If you are designing a piece with 100% black on the color side of a job, we request that you use a “rich black” CMYK mix instead of 100% black to avoid a washed-out gray appearance. We recommend using the following setting to achieve true black: C-40 M-30 Y-20 K-100. Always keep TYPE in 100% black.

Designs come in all different shapes and sizes. We offer everything from standard to unique in sizing, folding, binding and die cutting for your project. If you have concerns about the feasibility of your design,just give us a call and we will be happy to go over options and pricing!
