What print margins should you ask for?

The inner margin is what keeps the text clear of the trim and the fold, and the bleed is what runs past the edge. Ask the printer for both numbers on that paper, not a generic margin from another job.

Write to us. A quote with no commitment.

Ask for the millimetres of bleed and of the safe margin. The miss is using a card’s margin on a poster and the hours sit against the edge. The print note carries those two numbers, and the PDF respects them before production.
