   “Bleed” is a printing term that refers to printing that goes to the edge of the sheet after trimming.
The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image or design to the edge of the final product.
Our standard bleed size is a minimum of 2mm.
We require all files to be built to the full bleed dimension specified for each product. .jpg)  Hot foil stamping uses heat and metallic film in a specialty printing process that produces a shiny design on paper. Colors Avaliable: Gold, Silver, Blue Green, Magenta, Lazer Turnaround time may extend due to days added from extra finishing selected for each order. *Please note that all files for finishing such as spot UV, stamp foil, folding, hole punch and round corner must be prepared in a vector format for production purposes.   Round Corner is a semi-circular cut applied to the corner of the paper to give the printed material a unique look. Round corners can be applied to up to 4 corners. (6mm Radius) Turnaround time may extend due to days added from extra finishing selected for each order. *Please note that all files for finishing such as spot UV, stamp foil, folding, hole punch and round corner must be prepared in a vector format for production purposes.   Hole Punching is a circular cut applied to the paper in a selected area. This can be used to transform cards into tags.

There are 3 types of folds used:
Bi - Fold - A single paper fold in the center.   Z - Fold - A paper fold represented by back and forth folds into three panels.   Wallet - A fold where a 3 panel piece has both side sections folded inward, one on top of the other. Each section is approximately 1/3 the length of the piece.   Turnaround time may extend due to days added from extra finishing selected for each order.
