Finished Product Size: 9” wide by 6” high

SAFE MARGIN - Your file needs to include a 0.125” safe margin necessary for production. Safe margin is the area around the edge of the sheet. If the safe margin is not included in document setup, there is a chance that the art close to the edge will get cut off due to machine shift during cutting. This happens because there is a tolerance when cutting the printed piece. More information on Cutting Tolerance can be found on our website: support.smartpress.com/print-file-preparation/cutting-tolerance

CUT LINE (finished size) - This is where your artwork will be trimmed.

BLEED - Your file needs to include a 0.125” bleed necessary for production. Bleed is printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet after trimming. If a bleed is not included in document setup, there is a good chance that there will be a gap between the edge of the printed area and the cut line. This happens because there is a tolerance when cutting the printed piece. More information on bleeds can be found on our website: support.smartpress.com/print-file-preparation/bleeds-borders
