Safety
- Bleed Line (0.125”): Your background must extend to this edge. It prevents white gaps after cutting.
- Trim Line: This is the final size of your product where the blade cuts.
- Safety Zone (0.125” Inward): Keep all logos and text inside this line so they aren't at risk of being cut off.

Contains your standard printed design (colors, images, text).
2. The Mask File
Separate file where Foil/UV areas are 100% Black (K:100). Everything else is White.
Note: Avoid small text or very thin lines (less than 1pt) for foil, as they may not "take" to the paper correctly.

5. FAQ: Quick Troubleshooting
Digital screens use "backlit" light, which makes colors look more vibrant. Physical ink on paper reflects "ambient" light. Minor variations in brightness are an industry standard.
We cannot "un-pixelate" a low-res image. However, you can hire us for Vectorization ($45) to recreate your logo in high resolution.
To keep our prices low, we operate as a shipping-only model. However, shipping within Brampton and the GTA is extremely fast!
