Envelope - 9" x 12" 70lb Uncoated Linen

For the best results, we recommend PDFs but we can accept JPEG, EPS, AI, PSD or TIFF files as well.

Please create all files with a 1/16" bleed (0.0625" on all sides) As an example, a 3.5" x 2" business card file should be submitted at 3.625" x 2.125".

Please keep all safe text at least 1/8" from the trim line.

Files must be CMYK, not RGB.

PDFs, EPS and AI files:  Please convert all fonts and text to outlines and flatten all transparencies. 

JPEG, PSD, TIFF: Please flatten all files. You may save your files at 400 DPI (300 DPI is the minimum).

Printers cannot print right to the edge of a paper sheet. To create that effect, the printer must use a sheet which is larger than the document size. Then the printer prints beyond the edge of the document size (by 1/8"), then cuts the paper down to the document size.

It is the designer's responsibility to set the bleed correctly. For example, when setting up a 5.5 x 4.25 (quarter page) job, you should START your job at 5.625 x 4.375 (templates for many popular sizes are available in our templates section). By extending the image past the cut mark, the cutter blade cuts through ink, rather than trying to cut exactly on a line, which is next to impossible.  As a rule of thumb, try to keep important information at least 1/8" from the cut lines, as this ensures nothing important will be cut.
