Supplying Files For Print
To ensure that your job gets printed correctly and without any delays, please note the following when supplying files to MelbournePrinting.com :
Bleed: All files supplied to us require at least 3mm bleed beyond the trim size of your job. So if your ordering a 90x55mm Business card, your artwork should be setup 96x61mm, the extra 3mm on each side gets trimmed off in the printing process. For a postcard that has a final Trim Size of 150x100mm then the file you would supply should be at least 156x106mm. Download our Bleed guide.
See the quick guide on the left for trim and bleed sizes.
Resolution: If creating or using images in a program like Adobe Photoshop, your files should be at least 300dpi at final print size. You can check this in Photoshop via the Image menu then the Image Size option.
