Do you check our creations before printing?r
Each creation is carefully checked by our graphic design team.
When customizing your announcement, our graphic design team systematically checks your design before printing, and also performs a check during the printing process to ensure optimal results.
If you wish, you can receive a digital proof (BAT) before production begins. You simply need to request it.
We recommend ordering a sample printed on an A4 sheet if you have any doubts about your layout.
For any specific requests regarding layout, correction, or in-depth verification, you can use the text box titled "Leave a message or instructions for our graphic designer" on the personalization page. Our team will take each of your instructions into account before final validation.
Create your print file
- Final format: Exact size of the document once cut
- Bleed: Area extending beyond the final format (4 mm on each side) to avoid white edges; this part will be cut off after printing. It is represented on our configurator by the red zone.
- Safety zone: Inner margin (about 5 mm) in which no text or important element should be placed
- Front / Back: Front = first side / Back = second side of the printed document
2. Design best practices
Do:
- Extend colored backgrounds, photos, or graphic elements to the bleed
- Use high-resolution images (300 dpi)
Don't:
- Place text too close to the edges
- Forget to extend a colored background to the edge of the bleed
- Export in low quality
Recommended format: High-quality PDF
- Enable the following options:
- Bleed
- Crop marks
Recommended color profile: CMYK
